Skip the pastels—this is the trendy nail color that insiders are currently embracing.
The rivalry between baggy and slim-cut jeans may create a split in wardrobes, but fortunately, you don’t need to choose a side when it comes to nail trends. Denim-inspired nails have emerged this spring, and according to experts in my beauty circle, the trend is gaining traction. “Recently, we’ve seen a significant shift, with many clients embracing denim-inspired nail designs,” says 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 for your nails too? I’m totally on board with it,” she states.
Indeed, there's a certain timelessness to denim. It crosses seasonal boundaries and varies personal styles, which likely explains why it translates so seamlessly to nail art. Just like your favorite denim jeans, a blue manicure in a denim tone feels trendy yet refreshing. Moreover, it complements practically everything in your wardrobe, so what's not to appreciate?
As someone who prefers deep burgundy nails over soft pastels, I'm fully supportive of the denim trend and pleased to see it shining on the trendiest hands this spring. Below, I've compiled some of my preferred denim nail designs, along with the material-inspired nail polishes that I plan to add to my collection soon.
