Talk To My Nails: 12 Manicure Trends We’re Going To See Everywhere In 2020

Give it a few months and we bet you’re going to see a ton of these eyegasmic nail trends EVERYWHERE! In fact, some of these nail trends have already been spotted at NYFW like sultry oxblood and tiny nail embellishments and tbh, they’re ALL pretty wearable and doable. So far, the manicures don’t have anything bizarre on them like real hair strands or dead insects (thank goodness!). On the contrary, 2020 promises a more aesthetic and realistic approach to nail art and colours. So ladies, screenshot these images before your next manicure!

These Are The Nail Trends You’ll Spot In 2020

Oozing with freshness and creativity, these nail trends are bound to fetch you plenty of compliments!

Heart French Manicure

French Manicure is elegant et all, but have you seen these heart ones? They’re cutesy and oh-so-dreamy. Perfect to wear on your first date to make a lasting impression. You don’t necessarily have to stick to just white tips, you can paint the hearts pastel colours as well. The kind that will match with your phone case too!

Dandelion Yellow

Instagram

Yellow is such a happy colour and it will look even prettier when it’s on your nails. This yellow isn’t close to a lemon or honey, it’s dandelion! It’s a warm-toned colour that will do justice to just about any outfit under the sun!

Phyton Printed

Animal print as a nail trend will never go out of fashion. Zebra, tiger, giraffe – we’ve seen all of these nail trends in the past. Phyton is about to make an appearance in 2020. The walnut brown colour is the basic, but we heard this nail trend also looks cool in ash grey and seaweed green. 

Thirsty Oxblood

Instagram

What looks better than bright red nails? Deep oxblood nails, of course. The colour is so versatile you can wear them from day to night!

Powder Blue

Instagram

Another happy nail colour you’re going to see in 2020 is powder blue. Whether you choose to get this colour in matte or glossy – it will grab eyeballs nevertheless. 

Rich Milk Chocolate Nails

Instagram

Nah, red isn’t the colour to try in 2020. Rich chocolate brown is. Remember, we spoke about 2020 nail trends being all aesthetic, doable and wearable – this is one of ’em. 

Micro French Nails

Instagram

Micro French nails are a subtler version of regular French Manicure nails. For those who have short nails, this nail trend is a blessing. Add a pop of glitter or keep them plain – the ball is in your court. They look good either way. 

Waterdrop Nails

Instagram

Remember when the jelly nail trend went viral? Meet its cousin. This one is like jelly nails, but it has giant blobs of transparent nail polish to give it that waterdrop effect. Apart from you experiencing trouble while typing, this manicure has the power of attracting attention in the most positive way possible. 

Mismatched Nails

Instagram

Mismatched nails were trending last year too, but the only difference is now the choice of colours have improved. No more poppin’ colours, but lighter neutral ones are the future. Don’t you just love them?

In The Stars

Instagram

Are you a firm believer in astrology? If so, then you’d definitely heart this constellation zodiac sign manicure! Since the Pantone shade of 2020 is ‘classic blue’ what better way to pay tribute to it than to paint your nails this lovely colour, right?

Tiny Detailing Counts

Instagram

Tiny stones, tiny pearls, tiny stickers – they’re all trending in 2020! However, keep in mind, nothing too chunky or showy, beauty is in minimalism. 

Show Us The Glitter

Instagram

Glitter on the tips is always a good idea! Just like this picture, opt for colourful sequins. They’ll add a retro vibe to your outfit!

The takeaway from this story is to encourage you to go back to the basics. Appreciate detailing in the tiniest of things and pick manicures that are wearable and colours that won’t blind you or someone else! Comprende? Go book that manicure appointment today!
