Swirls

The swirl nail trend is everywhere right now and we are here for it! This psychedelic trend is giving us a groovy 60’s vibes and is definitely a summer 2021 nail trend to recreate! We love the fun colours & variations we are seeing on social media at the moment!

Candy colours

We think this 2021 summer nail trend is just the sweetest! Bold nail colours aren’t for everyone and sweet candy colours are the perfect alternative whilst giving a stand out summer look! Think candy floss, mint ice cream & parma violets for the dreamiest summer nail colours! Try painting each nail a different colour or alternate between two colours for a super pretty look.

Animal print

Some nail trends never fade and animal print nails are here to stay (hoorah!). Leopard or zebra print nails are always a winner in our eyes and we are seeing a lot of them in bold, summer colours for a serious wow factor. To give your animal print nails a fresh 2021 update, why not try some cow print? We are obsessed with the black & white monochrome when contrasted with a coloured nail! Udderly beautiful (sorry we had to go there!).

Tie dye

Tie dye nails are back! We have seen tie dye nails on celebs and runways for a couple of years now and this nail trend is back with a bang in 2021. The trend looks great as one statement nail or as a full set. We love it as it gives us serious flashbacks to our younger days of tie dying our old t-shirts (anyone else?).

Gingham

You know it’s summer when the gingham dresses & tops come out the wardrobe! But why stop with your clothes? How cute are these gingham print nails? We absolutely LOVE this 2021 nail trend, which is set to be big this summer in the nail world. It looks fab in all colours but we especially love the pastel shades. It’s giving us serious picnic vibes – anyone else?

Colour Block French Mani 

A French manicure will always be a classic go-to nail trend but to give it a fresh, up to date look, why not try a colour block French manicure? Bringing a pop of colour to a classic French maini is a winning combination. Using any colour combo, you literally cannot go wrong with this 2021 nail trend!

Jewelled Nails

Think Cardi B & Nicky Minaj (minus the feuding), gem encrusted talons  are not for the faint hearted! The jewelled nail trend is definitely showstopping and we absolutely love it! The more bling & rhinestones the better in our eyes, this 2021 nail trend is bound to make you stand out from the crowd!
