]]>Understanding Gel Nails
Before diving into care tips, it’s important to understand what gel nails are. Unlike traditional nail polish, gel nails are applied as a liquid and then cured under a UV or LED light, which makes them more durable and longer-lasting.
Be Gentle with Your Nails
Gel nails are strong but not indestructible. Avoid using your nails as tools to pick or pry things open (yes, it can be tempting). This can cause the gel to lift from your natural nail, leading to chipping, peeling, or breaks.
Proper Removal
Never rip off gel nails. Always go to a professional for removal, or if you must do it at home, follow a gentle soak-off process. Improper removal can severely damage your nails.
Give Your Nails a Break
Finally, regularly wearing gel nails without a break can weaken your natural nails. Taking breaks between applications is a great way to let your nails recover.

]]>All credit has to go to Hailey Bieber who got us started on glazed donut nails that were good enough to eat. Since those sparklers, we’ve seen the chocolate-glazed version, juicy nails, jelly nails, and now… iced coffee nails.
Before you do a spit-take with your latte, take a listen.
Iced coffees are basically what have gotten us through the scorching summer. Whether you’re making your own or stopping off at your favorite coffee shop, there is something blissful about ice cubes, cold brew, and a swirl of milk.
And now you can replicate that on your nails.
Use brown and cream polishes to create a marbled effect.
You’re aiming for abstract swirls with neutral tones. And the best news is, there is no right or wrong way to do it. In fact, let your coffee be your inspiration.
Dot shades of brown, white, and cream gel polish on your nails in a wispy fashion. If you prefer your coffee strong, go harder with the browns, and even add a dash of black if espresso is your thing.

]]>What are Chocolate Glazed Donut Nails?
Chocolate Glazed Donut Nails create a cozy, warm vibe with a chocolatey brown base with a pearly top coat. Thankfully, Hailey Bieber’s nail stylist gave the world the exact shades and polishes she uses to create the look–and she uses all affordable products that can be found anywhere that sells OPI polishes!
How to Achieve the Look At Home!
Start by priming your nails with your favorite base coat. Then, apply one layer of OPI Infinite Shine nail polish in Espresso Your Inner Self. By only applying one coast, you get a more translucent look that adds to the sheer tone you are going for. Then add one really thin layer of OPI Infinite Shine in Kyoto Pearl (you can also thin this color out by mixing it with your clear coat. The last step is to simply add your favorite top coat and enjoy your beautiful nail look!
@haileybieber I know we’re tired of my constant color switch up but… the chocolate glazed donut nails are really hitting for me for fall @zolaganzorigt ♬ original sound – jex

]]>As we approached the festive season, J.Lo donned a warm orange-brown that can easily be described as dulce de leche. The coat of caramel was lighter than the mocha shade which she rocked in the fall, and it looks like the Shotgun Wedding actress is heading into even brighter territory.
Tom recently posted a pic of the pop star wearing a floral top and skirt by Carolina Herrera and a bright pink lip. But it was the color of her nails that really drew our attention.
Jennifer’s talons sported a radiant buttery yellow, which is not often seen during the depths of winter.
The in-demand nail tech didn’t mention the shade that Jen was wearing, but there are a few that can help you enter a spring state of mind.
Essie’s All Fun and Games makes us think of sweet lemon creams, while You’re the Zest from Sally Hansen is a pretty pastel yellow that comes from her Mentos collection. Those who are after something a little brighter should opt for Bright & Focused by Olive & June.

]]>2D nails are also known as cartoon nails and comic book nails, and that tells you everything you should know about them. To give your nails a two-dimensional effect, you’ll have to paint black and white lines around the edges, mimicking the drawings from the comic book.
(@tulipartistnailspa)Despite looking pretty next-level, 2D nails aren’t that difficult to recreate after all. A few black-and-white lines on the parameters of your nails will do the trick, and there are so many different styles to choose from.
2D nails are usually done with neutral colors, such as black and beige, with a matte finish. This look emerged as the biggest hit because it’s most reminiscent of comic book pages, but the sky is the limit when it comes to customizing your 2D manicure.
From glittery and ombre looks to 2D French nails, options are pretty much endless, so head to Instagram for some more inspiration.

]]>Kim has only been sharing her nail art with the world since 2021, but that didn’t stop her from becoming a true social media sensation, with 90,000 Instagram followers and counting. She’s using nails as a canvas, crafting some of the most show-stopping manicures you’ll ever come across, and some of them look straight out of a museum.
Kim hails from South Korea and currently lives in Fayetteville, Arkansas. She enjoyed expressing herself through art from a young age, but never strived towards making a living as an artist. She dreamed about becoming a physician, and even studied English literature at one point, but life had different plans for her.
Kim’s outlook on nail art changed she tried to do a manicure for her wedding. That’s when she bought her first UV lamp and gel polish set, but her wedding manicure didn’t turn out the way she hoped for. The first failed attempt didn’t force her to give up and only inspired her to keep getting better. Her husband encouraged her to share her creations with the world – and the rest is history!

]]>Polka Dot Nails
Let’s start with a classic: polka dot nails. These are so easy to do. You can use a special nail polish dotting tool, but you don’t even have to spring for that. Just a toothpick will work just as well.
Abstract Swirl Nails
Abstract nail art is one of the best styles to start out with as a beginner because it’s meant to look imperfect on purpose. Just follow your instincts and you’ll create a unique style that nobody else out there has.
(@devinenailz__)Floral Nails
You can think of floral nails as kind of a next step once you’ve mastered polka dot nails. Just start with five dots next to each other to represent petals and a dot in the middle for the center of the flower. You’ll be surprised how easy it is to make flowers that look good.

]]>The off-white hue goes well on both long and short nails, and it naturally complements any outfit. The best part is it always looks fresh which is ideal for summer.
Those looking to jazz up their milky mani can do so by using a pearly shade with a hint of shimmer. Nail art can add an extra element of glamour, as would a rhinestone sticker or two. Ooh la la!
Asti (@elle_and_nails_asti)In order to achieve your own signature shade, feel free to mix different polishes together. That’s exactly what nail artist Zola Ganzorigt did for Hailey by layering Funny Bunny and Tin Man Can, both from OPI’s gel range.
Milky nails also easily suit any skin tone. No matter whether you prefer dairy, soy, almond, or oat milk, this look is definitely a glass half-full!

]]>We’re all about the ’90s/2000s revival that is currently underway and butterflies are back in a big way. And why shouldn’t they be? The whimsical creatures are colorful and cute—perfect for summer.
(@gemmapopenailartist)Not only are the butterfly clips you probably wore as a teenager back in style, but the fluttery insects are making an appearance on nails as well.
The gorgeous creatures are known for their vast color palettes, allowing them to fit with whichever hue of polish you choose. Pastels look particularly pretty.
Those with steady hands may opt to add their butterflies with nail art, but luckily for the rest of us, there are some fabulous nail stickers to choose from.
If you aren’t ready to completely take flight with the trend, that’s okay—embrace the accent nail. Let those butterfly babies land where they wish.
The cuties can be as bold and detailed, or subtle and sweet, as you wish. Just wing it!
