Nail art is undoubtedly enjoyable to experiment with all the quirky aesthetic trends ruling the charts—and 2022 is shaping up to be no different. 

We've compiled a list of seven nail trends to keep an eye on, which will help you shine bright in 2022. So without further ado, here are the latest nail trends and practices that you must try ASAP:

1. Nail polish strips with glitter 

This nail trend is for people who believe a manicure isn't enough unless it is well decorated. To make your manicure look current without seeming too bling, blend your passion for glitter with fashionable graphic patterns. And since both crystal-laden fingernails and minimal nail polish were major catwalk sensations when it comes to nails in 2022, don’t shy away from mixing and matching your manicure. To complete the look, start with either a thin coat of nail polish with a slight indentation and then outline with sparkly nail colour. 

2. Printing nail art in a glossy style

Reversible luxurious printing nails aren't a recent development, and more and more people are learning how to get any nail cut, size, or pattern. They'll continue to rise in prominence for generations to follow.

3. Manicures with metallic accents for the year 2022

These days metallic shades such as gold are used for more than just jewellery. Manicures with metallic accents are all the rage these days—then be it minimalistic metallic lines used as borders or flamboyant chain patterns. There's no excuse to miss out on this trend, especially when there are so many different ways to have fun with it.

4. Nail stickers to the rescue 

Consider 2022 the year in which you finally give nail adhesives a try if you haven't before. Use a manicure sticker to create a quirky aesthetic or an accent nail, and apply a glossy topcoat to finish the look. There is no reason why you shouldn’t give this nail trend a shot this year.
