The "Tacky" Nail Trend We're Backing for the Rest of Winter
Fact: Glitter is having a moment. As evidenced by Euphoria's dazzling makeup looks that took the whole world by storm over the summer and the show-stopping glimmer we saw on this weekend's Golden Globes red carpet, glitter is set to be the name of the beauty game yet again in 2020. And we're calling it now: We think the glitter trend is about to take center stage in the nail arena, too.
If you're operating under the assumption that sparkly manicures should be reserved for the holiday season, we're here to tell you that's simply not the case. Whether you want to make a splash with a bold nail moment, or just add a touch of glint to a muted look, there's a glitter nail idea for you.
It may be the dead of winter, but we've been swooning over some major nail inspo that's keeping things nice and lit over here atBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing HQ. These shiny manicure ideas will make you want to head straight to the salon. Ahead, check out the 17 looks that have our attention right now.
