Over the top
Is this nail look practical? Not really. But for a special occasion, why not? Here Mbali Nkosi shows us, if there’s one embellishment to add to your nails this year, it’s pearls. The best part? It doesn’t matter if you glue on just one or 100. Try it over your manicure for an unexpected twist.
Simple but elegant
Kick the simple black nails look up a notch. Influencer and YouTube vlogger, Mihlali Ndamase‘s simple split-colour nail design is perfect for an office look and looks ultra-sophisticated on shorter nails.
Classic red
Much like red lipstick, red nails are an absolute classic when it comes to beauty choices. Besides being the obvious timeless choice for its boldness, we swear it can make anyone wearing them feel powerful! Makes sense why this is DJ Zinhle‘s go to manicure!
The nude/pink
Clear acrylic nails can look like an unfinished manicure–but we love the look when done in a subversive bubblegum pink hue. Thembi Seete‘s tender bubblegum pink with a mild gloss makes these nails really stand out as something the less-extroverted ladies can wear without making too big of a fashion statement.
