20 Nail Trends You Need to Try in 2017

Well, 2016, we had a good run… at least when it comes to our nails. Let’s take a moment to reminisce on the year that brought us everything from election-inspired designs to groovy tie-dye digits. Now that 2017 is here, we’re ready to change it up. New year, new nail art! Even if that means taking remover to our ugly sweater mani (tear). So in true trend-casting fashion, we took to Insta to scope out the major manis that are dominating our feeds RN (spoiler alert: metallics, geometric inspo and touches of black). Pull out your polish, because you’ll want to recreate these looks ASAP.

split chrome for @step1215 💅🤖✨😘

A post shared by Bel Fountain-Townsend (@sohotrightnail) on

1. Split Chrome: Metallurgic chrome gets an edgy update with black polish. Pro tip: Use painter’s tape to create clean lines.

Galaxy Foil 💫🌟

2. Galaxy Foil: We’re over the moon for this astronomy-inspired mani (sorry, we couldn’t resist). Lapis, purple and gold mesmerizes to infinity and beyond.

3. Vertical Ombre: Vertical ombre gets a dash of dazzle with gold sparkles. They’re perfect for a belated holiday party or first weekend of 2017 soiree. Is that a thing? If not, it totally should be.

4. Drip Drop: We’re gaga over these glam drips. Start with a gray base, then use a thin striper brush to create the “drips” of varying lengths — mauve (Floss Gloss Mauve Wives), soft blush rose (Floss Gloss Palazzo Pleasures), rose gold (Smith & Cult Opaque Rose Gold Foil) and white (Essie Blanc).

5. Shapes + Squiggles: If we asked a bunch of nail enthusiasts what a party mani means to them, we’d prob get a split between neon and metallic. So why not mix and match? A silver base with hot pink dots, green squiggles and orange triangles feels at once super ‘80s and totally 2017.

6. Gold Cuticles: We always thought the goal was to avoid polish on our fingers. Not with this chic — albeit counterintuitive — design. Keep your nails bare and and let your cuticles shine with a gold metallic shade.

7. Icy Color Blocking: Color blocking is already cool, but this icy color combo makes it positively frosty. How chic would this look with a full-on winter white ensemble?

8. Crystal Pixie: Give saturated hues a break with this ethereal geode mani. Gold embellishments and crystals finish this New Age design.

9. Chrome + Lines: Chrome nails are the epitome of outer space cool. Edge ‘em up with black lines, but steady hands are required! We’d suggest enlisting the help of one of your more creative pals or a pro, if you’re so inclined.

10. Constellations: It’s written in the stars, err, your nails. This celestial design feels super fresh in black and white. Craving metallics? You could totally swap out white for a sparkly silver polish.

11. Metallic Houndstooth: This is NOT your grandpa’s houndstooth. Shimmering jewel-toned polishes make it feel super luxe.

12. Noir: Onyx polish makes for an edgy negative space mani. Not digging such a dark hue? Why not try lapis or plum?

13. Plum Chrome: If you can’t tell by now, we’re kind of obsessed with chrome (well, us and everyone else on the planet). This chromed-out aubergine is equal parts moody, broody and sexy.

Metallic outlines

A post shared by Alicia Torello (@aliciatnails) on

14. Metallic Outlines: We’re getting major Jem and the Holograms vibes. Swap out darker digits for an unexpected bubblegum hue. Outline each nail with a different metallic and finish with a silver star decal.

15. Geometric Monochrome: Not ready to commit to full-blown nail art? Try topping a nude base with a simple black and white angular outline.

Galaxy☄🌌☄

A post shared by Amy Wong (@noriandee) on

16. Abstract Galaxy: Can’t decide between galaxy and geometric? Why not do both? Give your tips some love with a futuristic galaxy design, and use thin strips of silver foil to create an inverted “T” at the base.

17. Silver + Gold Ombre: Who said you had to choose between silver and gold? This glam duo (Essie Apres-Chic and Essie Getting Groovy) is like the Batman and Robin of metallics. Not saying which is which.

Marbleized Metallic

A post shared by Alicia Torello (@aliciatnails) on

18. Marbleized Metallic: Major points for this abstract metallic marble design. The best part? You don’t need to be a pro to copy. Pick two or three of your fave shiny shades and give them a swirl. Perfection isn’t the goal. Have some fun with it!

19. Geometric Glass: Soft pink is classic, but kinda safe. Take it up a notch with strips of glass in coordinating hues.

20. Black + Gold: Cha-ching! Show off your sassy side with bold gold, black and white details. Rock a different design on each finger, because why not?

The Kennedy Center Honors (a tribute ceremony that celebrates contributions to American performing art) always provide us with iconic moments — like Anna Kendrick fangirling over Beyoncé and Cynthia Erivo performing "Alfie" for Dionne Warwick. And this year promises to be no different.

Squid Game season 2 — On Netflix December 26, 2024

Despite the fact we all took games very seriously in elementary school, I'm sure we can all agree no game of Red Light, Green Light comes close to the one in Squid Game. And we're in for another round of nail-biting challenges when season 2 drops December 26. As for what to expect?

"As we all saw at the end of season 1, the main plot of season 2 will be revenge," actor Lee Jung Jae told All K-Pop. "The key figure who controlled the workings of the games in season 1 was Lee Byung-Hun...it seems that the two of us will be the central figures of this next story."

Dick Clark's New Year’s Rockin’ Eve — On ABC December 31, 2024

New Year’s Rockin’ Eve

If you ask me, there's no December TV show as iconic as New Year’s Rockin’ Eve. It's going to be the perfect way to ring out 2024 (and welcome 2025). Although I have to admit, I don't know how they're going to top Megan Thee Stallion, Jelly Roll, Sabrina Carpenter, and Tyla's performances from last year!

Dick Clark's New Year’s Rockin’ Eve is hosted by Ryan Seacrest.

I can go absolutely feral on Pinterest, pinning things left and right. There's just so much to look a, bringing all sorts of inspiration to my digital front door, from vintage fashion pieces to eclectic interiors. Within the endless sea of pinnable content, nail inspo is the main ingredient in my Pinterest mix. I see so many different designs and colors just begging to be shared and saved for later. Below, find the best spring nail designs floating around on my Pinterest boards to inspire your spring or summer manicure, and one super smart way to perfect your French tips at home.

Aura Nails

Auras are the colors you radiate in the world based on your overall vibes and energy. Taylor Swift's aura may or may not be moonstone, but what's yours? Use your nails to express yourself in a new way with these aura nail designs.

Pink Aura Nails

Aura nails start from the center of the nail, beaming outward in all directions to create just that: an aura. This trend can take on any color scheme for the coolest looks.

Purple Aura Nails with Stars

It's obvious that we adore aura nails. The trend can be translated into any color palette, which is why we love this purple take.

Tiny Silver French Tips on Neutral Aura Nails

Take on French tips with a twist! This style lines the top of the nails with a little sliver of metallic silver, and can pair with any nail color you please! This gorgeous example delicately paints over subtle aura nails.

Multicolor Aura Nails with Gems

Like our queen Taylor Swift said, "Best believe I'm still bejeweled." And with these nails, you'll be bejeweled, too. This look combines French tips, aura nails, and decorative gems to create a vibrant look fit for spring and summer.

Multicolor Nails

Picking a polish at the salon can be quite a dilemma. There are just too many good colors to choose from! So...why not choose them all? Here are some of our favorite daring designs that feature more than one color.

Muted Multicolor Nails

Multicolor nails are a unique style you can rock any time of the year. Use more muted colors like this example for fall, and then brighten things up once summer rolls around. Pastels are perfect for multicolor nails for this spring!

Multicolor Star Nails

This nail look presents gorgeous color pairs and spiky stars for a one-of-a-kind mani. The best part? You can buy them as press-on nails to wear year-round!

Multicolor Chrome Nails

Chrome is everywhere these days, but we're not complaining. This look takes multicolor nails and chrome-ifies them for a palette that'll turn heads.

French Tips

This mani may seem like a played-out classic, but we can't get enough of these stylish spins on the French tip! Plus, we've got a hot hack on how to get the perfect French tip without stepping foot in the salon...

Colorful Ombré French Tips

Combine your French tip faves with a subtle gradient for a softer payoff. This example paints a dainty stripe across the nail to distinguish the tips, but that part can be optional if you're already an ombré expert. Go with one hue, or bask in more of a multicolor look.

Silver Chrome French Tips

Chrome polish puts a shiny spin on your spring mani. This look uses silver, but you can use any hue to recreate these French tips.

Purple Chrome French Tips

Make some noise for more chrome! This example is doused in a purple chrome polish to craft the best French tip.

Striped Tips on Matte Nails

TBH we thought matte nails were so 2015, but this look totally changed our minds. This style works with any color combo you can think of, so you can coordinate with the seasons or even your current mood.

A Genius Hack For French Tip Nails

Paying for French tips at the salon? Couldn't be us. Take on this super easy nail hack at home using a makeup sponge and any of your favorite polishes! You can go micro like this example does, or press the sponge further on your nails for a full-fledged French tip.

Fun Nail Art

Statement nail art stays on our minds these days. From delicate designs to playful patterns, these unique takes on nail art are a fun way to stand out in a crowd.

Heart-Shaped Nail Art

We're suckers for heart-shaped anything, so heart-shaped nails are definitely on our manicure roster this season. Step away from the typical French tip, and flaunt this flirty shape.

Marbled Nail Polish

This marbled nail look takes us back to the days when dipped, swirled nails were all the craze. For a total throwback nail look, pull inspo from this tie-dye-esque example.

Layered Neon Colors

If nailscapes could be lived in, we'd immediately move into this one. The bubbles of vibrant color are a quirky way to coat your nails, and we're here for this absolutely eye-catching example.

Outer Space Nails

These outer space nails use dainty aura designs and stars to form a wearable galaxy that you can show off any time. Paint them over a clear coat, or experiment with other colored bases for the background.

Nude Jelly Nails

Think lip gloss nails, but with a hint of shimmer. These jelly-like nails sport a more neutral nude color, so you can make a statement without having to worry about matching your nails to your outfits.

Squiggly Lines

Get playful with your nails this season and freehand some joyful squiggles in different colors. We love this example because the colors flawlessly feel like spring.

Cherry Mocha Nail Color

You don't always have to wear a look full of intricate nail art. Sometimes one color is enough to make a statement, and this cherry mocha shade proves it.

Spiral Nail Art

Put onlookers in a hypnotic trance with these spiral nails. Well, an actual trance may not be the best idea, but they'll be captivated for sure.

Eclectic Multicolor Gradients

This color palette is truly showstopping. We love how this nail look translates the multicolor trend into simple three-tone gradients for a unique mani.

Rainbow Pastel Gradient Nails

In case you haven't caught on yet, we're all about rainbows and multicolors when it comes to pinning nail inspo. This gradient manicure is springtime's ultimate companion because it's painted in pastels!

Wavy Lines with Sparkle Nail Art

Y2K vibes come to life in this nail look full of wavy lines and glittery colors! Use a pink and green palette for your mani to up your nostalgia game even more.

Chartreuse Jelly-Metallic Nails

We love the transparent look that metallic jelly nails bring. If you wanna go bigger than the nude look above, the sunny shade of chartreuse is a trending color we have to hop on for our springtime nails.

Mismatched Seashell Mermaid Nails

If you're all about embellishments, these seashell nails are for you. Mismatched styles are also an interesting way to keep your nails fresh and unique to you.

Dark Gradient Nails

Want to embrace colored nails, but aren't ready for the electric hues? Take your gradient manicure and paint with darker shades for a look that's still colorful, but not overly distracting.

Wavy Lines with Star Embellishments

These adorable nails are embellished with a pistachio green polish, then topped off with tiny star and moon details. We're obsessed with the silver additions that would pair perfectly with silver jewelry.

Outlined Nails

Outline your nail shape using a fine brush. Dip into one or a range of hues to perfect the look! Colors with more contrast will really make them pop!

Coral Orange Chrome Nail Color

Coral orange is a beautiful shade that works for your nails any time of year. This example coats the color in chrome, giving a cool, new vibe to this bright color. Need this on our nails ASAP!

Navy Blue Jelly Nails

These navy nails are like a deep sea of color. They're also jelly-like and metallic to create dimension that we can't take our eyes off of.

Wavy Line Details

Get your hands on a tiny brush to craft wavy line decorations on a few or all of your nails! This look is easily recreated with the colors of your choice.
