I'm Bored of Minimalist Nail Designs—This Is the Trend Those In the Know Are Wearing Instead
Even I can't deny the cool-girl appeal of this trending manicure.
I feel like a broken record at this point, but I'm just not into nail art. When it comes to nail trends, I'm a milky nail girl through and through, and nothing will change that. You might think I like minimal nail art, but if I'm honest, I'm actually finding that a bit boring at the moment. To me, it's all or nothing. When I heard everyone in the office talking about swirl nail designs, I immediately dismissed the idea. However, after reluctantly looking at my colleague's nail inspo photo folder, I have to admit, I'm a little bit obsessed.
Perhaps it's their versatility, or perhaps it's simply because they look really, really pretty, but there's something about this nail art that I can absolutely get on board with. If you don't believe me, you've come to the right place, as this roundup of Insta-worthy swirl nail designs will absolutely convince you to book a salon appointment ASAP.
I've turned to some of the best nail artists for inspiration, and trust me, there are so many cool swirl nail designs to sink your teeth into this season. Below, you'll find my favourites, alongside all the products you need to get the look at home. You are welcome...
