French nails are so elegant and classy, perfect for working ladies! Instead of the usual pale pink and white colour combination, let your creativity run wild by using other colours (but retaining the same technique) to achieve something more modern. Glitter and pastel-coloured tips are some of the more popular French nail designs.

For the ladies who prefer more design on their nails, the brush strokes nail art is the one to try. It looks good on both coloured and plain nails and is artistic-looking despite being relatively easy to achieve! You can also amp up the luxurious factor by adding some gold flakes or glitter.

First made popular by Park Eunkyung, nail artist of Unistella Nails, the unusually shaped nail is filed at an asymmetrical angle to achieve a slant that is reminiscent of a lipstick bullet. The uniquely shaped lipstick nail feels like you are having a short and long nail all in one. Many Korean celebrities have also donned these trendy nails so this is one to consider if you are looking to try something different at your next manicure session!

The crushed shells design, aka the Mother of Pearl, is so mesmerising because of how smooth and shiny it looks! It’s a really elegant nail art that will complement your outfits. We recommend pairing this nail design with lighter colours such as pastel blue, white, pastel pink, lilac and grey for an ethereal vibe.

From Rihanna’s jade marble nails to other marblelous nail designs, this nail trend is definitely one that won’t die down anytime soon. We love how versatile marble nail designs are as it can be paired with almost any colour to create beautiful swirls. Go for lighter colours such as pink to create a a fairy-like nail design or darker colours like black and blue for a mysterious and alluring vibe.

If you think pearls are old-fashioned, think again! When done right, it adds a slight cuteness and vintage vibe to your nails. The trick is to use big pearls sparingly and go for more small pearls. You will want to attach those small pearls near your cuticles or around the edges of your entire nail and only one on your nail if using a big pearl.
