      The ongoing debate between baggy and slim-cut jeans may split wardrobes, but fortunately, you won't need to choose a side when it comes to nail trends. Denim-inspired nails have made their way into the spring nail color lineup, and according to the experts within my beauty editor circle, this trend is gaining traction. “Recently, there’s been a clear shift, with more clients favoring denim-inspired nails,” notes Ella Vivii, a celebrity manicurist for stars like Olivia Dean and Raye. Ella suggests opting for deeper, rich indigo shades such as Daisy Dukes and Denim from The GelBottle Inc. “Denim is a classic, so why not make it a classic on your nails too? I’m totally on board with this,” she adds.

      Indeed, there’s something timeless about denim. It surpasses seasons and even individual style, which likely explains its smooth transition into nail design. Similar to your beloved jeans, a denim-toned blue manicure feels stylish yet remains fresh. Moreover, it complements nearly everything in your wardrobe, making it hard not to adore. As someone who consistently prefers deep burgundy nails over soft pastels, I fully embrace the denim trend and am excited to see it showcased on chic hands this spring. Below, I’ve compiled some of my favorite denim nail designs along with the material-inspired nail polishes that I’ll be adding to my cart shortly.
