Top nail art trends to watch out for in 2020

We’re in a new year, a new decade, and in case you haven’t noticed, your nails can do the talking for you. Think of your manicure as a statement accessory that you don’t take off for a while. While sculpted nail tips and cow prints have had their chance to shine in the spotlight, this year nail art goes a step further. Which is why we rounded up the hottest talon trends slated for this year – everything from clear to jelly. Scroll through the gallery and find your 2020 mani vibe, because if there’s one thing we know, it’s that life’s too short for boring nails. 

Frames and collar tips

Bet these are showing up on your feed all the time. Hello, 2020 chic.

Ombré-themed manicure

This is an ombré theme going across your nails as opposed to the regular ombré. Just one rule: have fun with it.
