It’s been a minute, but maximalist manicures are back. I’ve been seeing them all over Instagram, TikTok, and on the digits on my most stylish coworkers. Whether it’s an eye-catching color palette (as with sea-glass nails) or a striking design (as with pillbox nails), the trend cycle is swinging back to all things bold.
It’s a refreshing change of pace from the internet’s former fixation on minimalist manicures. Whether it was soap nails, princess nails, or chiffon nails, the major mani trends revolved around a short, subtle, neutral aesthetic… up until now.
These days, the trendiest maximalist manicures are encrusted with glittering nail gems and rhinestones. That’s according to celebrities like Sabrina Carpenter, Dua Lipa, and Kylie Jenner, who have all been spotted with sparkling, 3D nail art recently. Ahead, see the celeb inspo and shop the best bedazzled-nail products.
