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:

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. 

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.

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.

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.

Mix and match your manicure with each nail flaunting a separate colour, pattern, or layout! The look never gets old—thanks to the countless variations and pairings, which won’t be going out of style anytime soon. This is the manicure for you if you can never decide on which nail polish to wear or if just one pattern isn’t enough for you.

This nail pattern has never been out of style and we doubt it ever will! That said, even if you haven’t been perfecting your skill for this manicure—2022 is the year to start, because we’re bound to see many more lovely swirls and abstract patterns coming in. Wear this pattern just on your tips, on the entire nail, or choose the colours depending on the season—the possibilities are endless.

Everyone knows this trend, and indeed, flawless pink nails can never go out of style. If you haven't found the proper shade for your complexion yet, the pink hue is suitable for you, so go ahead and check it out for the new 2022 nail trend without hesitation.

There are numerous trends to follow for nail art and colours for 2022. You can go on to experiment with any of them and it will surely make you shine perfectly. It doesn't matter what your age is when it comes to nail art—because it's a fun and quirky way to express yourself. It's time to give your nails a fast makeover and try out some of these styles.
