2024 Acrylic Nail Colors
As opposed to neons and metallics which were popular last year, 2019’s nail trends are taking on a more subdued tone. From delicate pink hues to sparkling metallic finishes, these polishes and art ideas are sure to brighten up any day!
Manicurists agree that shades of green ranging from soft sage to deep emerald will be on-trend this winter 2024. Chue adds that mismatched “skittle manicures” featuring Barbie pink and peach will also be very fashionable this season.
Negative Space Nails
Negative space nails offer a chic geometric aesthetic. This nail design leaves part of your natural nail unpainted while surrounding it with block or swirly designs in bold polish colors, producing an unforgettable manicure sure to catch eyes.
Negative space nails can be easily achieved at home with just a little practice and effort. Begin by applying a base coat, painting half of your nails in color, then sealing that section off with clear polish for protection and shine.
Create intricate nail designs using nail tape or stencils, but ensure your brushstrokes are as even and uniform as possible; otherwise you risk untidy edges that don’t look clean. A dotting tool or nail art pen makes this process simpler and more precise – for instance leopard spots look beautiful when outlining them with tan polish like Pretty Woman NYC Let’s Avocuddle.
