Galaxy nail design 2022 trendy
Space-inspired “Galaxy Nail Design” sees a +115% increase in searches on Pinterest compared to last year.

Add your own touch to these extraordinary looks by adding your zodiac constellation or creating a marbled effect with different gradients and glitter polish.

Aurora nails: gel nails 2022 inspired by the northern lights
In the endless Instagram feed, there's rarely anything that makes us stop for a few minutes - except cute kitties and a stunning manicure. The Aurora nail design 2022, or Aurora Nails, is just one of them. The trend originated in South Korea and is becoming increasingly popular online: There are 195,000 posts on Instagram with the hashtag #오로라네일 (“aurora nails” in Korean) and almost 100,000 posts with the English equivalent #auroranails.
The Aurora Nails shine in different shades
The manicure is inspired by a phenomenon that is not at all typical of South Korea - the Northern Lights (its scientific name isAurora Borealis). The design evokes many other associations: for some, the shimmering colors are reminiscent of the pearls of shells, for others of the tails of mermaids.
The special gel and foil create multi-dimensional shimmer effects
This design is created by nail masters using transparent gel polish and a holographic foil placed in the center of the nail. It is the foil that creates this enchanting shimmer when you move your fingers. Sometimes the nail plate is instead covered with a glossy varnish with a cat's eye effect or with chrome powder. The film is fixed on top with several layers of clear gel, creating a three-dimensional capsule. The more layers, the brighter the shimmer. Therefore, this design may not be suitable for those who do not like dense gel coating. In addition, this manicure is difficult to do at home due to the complexity of the technique.
Ocean nail art can't just be worn in summer
According to Pinterest, “Ocean Acrylic Nail Art” will be trending in 2022 as the nail design received five times more searches compared to last year. Whether your nails are short and natural or longer and enhanced with acrylic, you can wear this trend. Creating waves on your nails creates a unique work of art that isn't just reserved for the holidays. The organic shapes and calming aura of the sea are always well received. With beautiful shades of blue, turquoise, white and even purple and green, ocean nails 2022 are simply stunning.

A gradient with milky white is also beautiful
Geode nail art is also taking over Instagram
The trend makes perfect sense. Crystals are shiny and beautiful - it's that simple. Why wouldn't you want to wear something on your hands that resembles a beautiful and potentially magical stone? Various studios and nail artists have already shown off their stunning geode nails on Instagram. You can mimic the texture of crystals by "marbling" your nails with water, coating them with gold or silver foil, or painting them with a tiny brush and glitter to make your nails look like large chunks of amethyst or rose quartz.
If you like it particularly extravagant, you can combine the geode nail design with chrome nails
Nail design 2022: desert nail art
For women who love a lot of details, it's a good idea to have a complete landscape painted on their fingernails. These magnificent desert scenes showcase every hue of sand and sun. For the Desert Nails trend you could even be inspired by the new film “Dune”. The nail designs range from realistic to abstract and represent the mysterious charm of the desert. The sunsets with black silhouettes of cacti and camels in the foreground are particularly fascinating.
