The manicure has become part of getting dressed. Scroll through your feed and nails are borrowing directly from fashion: plaid, polka dots, metallics, pastels, nature motifs and finishes that change with the light. But there isn’t one defining manicure right now.





Some are barely there. Others are intentionally excessive. A micro French can feel as considered as a sculptural 3D set, while cat-eye, jelly and chrome are making texture just as important as colour. It’s less about matching your nails to the outfit and more about treating them like another accessory. And right now, ten fingertips leave plenty of room to experiment.
