2. Shiny Jelly
Elevate your “glazed doughnut” nails using shimmery pastel shades to create butterfly wing designs or add gel art hearts.

5. Think Pink
Barbiecore isn’t going anywhere yet, so try this hot pink look with a twist—a wavy slick of silver chrome will keep the nails looking less plastic and more fantastic.
6. Dippin’ Dots
This dotted manicure is reminiscent of 1960s wallpaper. Mix up the colours and sizes of the dots to keep things interesting; if you want to take things a step further, a few wavy accent nails add a psychedelic element.
