10 Acrylic Nail Designs To Show Your Nail Technician
The nail industry is brimming with choices. There’s a plethora of nail styles available, along with various lengths, finishes, and nail shapes to further customize your look. Acrylic nails have been a favored choice for nail enthusiasts and celebrities for many years. They’re appreciated for their ability to lengthen and strengthen nails, and they provide a larger, more uniform surface for detailed nail art. If you’ve noticed them (they’re hard to overlook on social media), continue reading for all the information you need on acrylic nails, along with our selection of Grazia endorsed nail designs to show your nail technician.
French Style Acrylic Nails
Over the past year, we’ve seen numerous variations of the traditional French manicure, such as the micro French and rainbow French. Celebrity nail artists Iram Shelton, Harriet Westmoreland, and Julia Diogo’s Instagram profiles are evidence of this trend. When it comes to acrylics, you can opt for a simple and understated look, or go bold with a pointed stiletto shape and a thick white design.
Natural-Looking Acrylic Nails
Acrylic nails might bring to mind the over-the-top nail styles of the ’90s for some – anyone remember a duck manicure? However, this is not always the case. Nail technicians can craft shorter, more refined shapes that resemble the appearance of longer, more natural nails. This milky pink hue complements the look perfectly.
Chrome Acrylic Nails
Popularized by Hailey Bieber (her glazed doughnut style is still in high demand globally), chrome nails represent the perfect blend of traditional and unique. We’re fond of this translucent white polish with its pinkish, holographic top layer – ideal for a natural nail appearance.
Leopard Print Acrylic Nails
The fusion of pink and grey offers a playful twist on leopard print. And the cuticle work? It’s unmistakably a Russian manicure.
Neon Acrylic Nails
Neon summer nails have never been more appealing. For an even more striking ‘pop’, apply a coat of white polish first – it’ll make the neon truly pop.
Tortoise Shell Acrylic Nails
The lustrous tortoiseshell manicure effect mirrors the sheer warm-hued appearance of a pricey pair of sunglasses. Combine this brown, marbled effect with chic, almond-shaped nails for a sophisticated finish.
Easter Acrylic Nails
A mini egg manicure that’s tempting enough to devour. Get this style with subdued, pastel hues and specks of black.
Halloween-Themed Acrylic Nails
There’s no such thing as too early when it comes to planning your next eerie set – Halloween nails can indeed be a trend throughout the year. @nailsbykhristy demonstrates how to achieve this wonderfully creepy manicure.
Compact Acrylic Nails
Are you a nail chewer? Present this image by mel.loves.nails to your nail artist – they can replicate this short, square, and natural-looking length using acrylic extensions.
Lace-Inspired Acrylic Nails
This lace-like, spiderweb design exudes a strong gothic glamour.
Diamond Acrylic Nails
Why require jewellery when your fingertips can sparkle? Nail gems are an excellent method to enhance any style, including a French manicure. Mix and match shades or stick with reliable silver – the choices are limitless.
