While we still love a standard shellac manicure, it's hard not to notice some of the very trendy nail art designs popping up all over our social media.

From monochrome black-and-white nail polish to more elaborate crystal and jewellery embellished gel nails, nails have become the centre of attention, and we can't get enough of them!

We searched the internet, followed the runways, and scoured Instagram to find the coolest and most avant-garde nail art inspiration. Explore our favourite nail salons, find new nail art designs, and upgrade your french tips.

Abstract Colour Art.

We've noticed a lot of colour blocking nail art this season, and abstract/retro swirls are a big trend right now. Short nails look great with this technique too, but long almond or pointy nail shapes look absolutely next level.

Opulent in Opal.

Opal artwork is intricate, but if you're looking to make a statement or want something a tad different, this is the nail art for you.

As an alternative, the opal look would also make a stunning french tip.

Short and Matt

Short nails can look super cool with a matt finish nail polish or shellac, add a little subliminal art and you have a an impressive combo.

Another popular and equally stylish nail trend we've seen this season is monochrome colour blocking. If you're feeling daintier, try some floral art or your favorite symbols in metallics.

Blue Effects

A powder blue nail polish and a nude base with some distinct art is one of the season's hottest colors.

Coffin, almond, and round tips all look stunning with this combination.
