6 Cool Nail Trends That Will Be Huge in 2023

Start warming up and add these ideas of the nail trends that will be hitting in the coming year!

Taking into account the nail trends for 2023 that monopolized the coolest beauty looks presented during the last Fashion Weeks, we can say that the nail designs for this year will be huge, with incredible and creative aesthetics that will leave a mark. And of course, we can’t wait any longer to start thinking about which of all these bets we will wear first. Renowned London-based nail artist Nikki Parker said, “Pink is here to stay, thanks to Viva Magenta being named Pantone’s colour of 2023,” Parker says. “It’s a fuchsia shade with bright red undertones, and makes it a stunning colour block style.”

Contrasting the more classic ideas with the more daring proposals, this year seems to have in store a myriad of novelty nail styles perfect for every occasion. And, although now the colours, materials, finishes and designs with a flashy touch seem to conquer the scene, the truth is that the traditional styles will not go away completely. Spoiler alert: whether it’s chrome finishes, intricate designs or Y2K-inspired acrylic sets the nail scene has exploded.

These are the six nail trends taking over your Instagram feed in 2023.

VIVA MAGENTA

This shade is definitely a trend for 2023 as it makes nails look expensive, cute and clean. Wearing this Viva Magenta shade on your nails makes your hands look beautiful. “With the Pantone colour of the year being announced for 2023 as Viva Magenta, this shade will definitely be trending,” said nail artist Elle Gerstein.

NAILS JEWELLERY AND METALLICS

Nail jewellery and metallic will be big in 2023. Simple and clean manicures will be adorned with incredible and extravagant jewellery to really make a statement. Taking a look back at fashion weeks, some of them implemented extravagant accessories on nails. For instance, Schiaparelli Spring/Summer 2021 by Daniel Roseberry took this trend to new heights. Models wore gilded fingertip accessories, finger rings with extra-long gold-covered nails and more. Another fashion brand that took this trend for its collection was Iris Van Herpen with transparent 3D printed- nail accessories, and more. Just to mention some examples.

CHOCOLATE BROWN

Are you in doubt about what to wear for a party or a meeting with friends? Our suggestion is to go for a neutral brown. Of course, it’s important to pick up the right tone as there are plenty of brown “chocolate” shades you can wear on your nails. The most incredible aspect of wearing brown tones on your nails is that they go with everything and do not need anything else to add to make your nails look beautiful, while they also elevate any look.

SHINY ACCENTS

While we love a good look on our nails, shiny accents will definitely make your hands look stunning and expensive as glitters show off your most stylish-royal side. What are you waiting to try on your nails? You can go for glitters in silver, gold or a mix of colour shades.

BARBIECORE PINK

Last year, everyone wore the Barbiecore trend on fashion statements, accessories, nails and footwear. We could see this stunning colour in Greta Gerwig’s Barbie movie (starring Margot Robbie) and Pierpaolo Piccioli’s jaw-dropping Spring/Summer 2023 collection. This year, this beautiful pink trend will continue following us into 2023.

 NAIL STICKERS

Nail stickers are definitely the most wearable among young people. It makes your hands look fun and chic as sticker designs add youthful and beautiful vibes to your nails.
