gel nail polish design ideas

In the days of everyone jumping on social media to show off their newest nail designs, it is ESSENTIAL to keep up with the ever-evolving trends. The secret: Whether they showcase rainbow colors or sparkly metallics, these couture creations typically start with a gel manicure.

Gel nails are the most convenient solution for those who want to keep their nails on the cutting-edge of fashion and beauty. They are applied liked a regular polish, but they dry under an LED or UV light, which speeds up the drying process, resulting in a mani that lasts way longer. But not all gel manis are created equal. As a lifestyle blogger with a passion for beauty, I’m here to share my top 14 designs that I recommend to anyone looking for cute and trendy nails.

You’ve probably seen all the insta baddies and models wearing camo pants, camo phone cases… camo EVERYTHING. Well, that also includes nails. The trend has been swarming the internet and social media for months now, so no need to worry that the trend is “too new” for anyone in public to think these nails are cool.

Along with camo, flames and checkered designs have been at the top of the fashion game, with all our favorite celebs sporting the trends. These nails are so eye-catching, primarily because they combine the two trends in a way that is both avant garde and easy to wear.

Keep reading below to find out the best gel nail designs for autumn to make deciding on your next manicure colour or designing much easier— you are welcome!

Sparkling New Year's Nails Ideas To Ring In 2023

If nail shade-induced panic washes over you once you are sat in the nail salon (we've all been there) then red is a failsafe, timeless shade that will never not look chic. It makes your nails look polished and it is one of those shades that will go with everything you wear.

If you want to mix it up a little bit, then opting for a bright red like this one by Julia Diogo, who is the resident nail technician at The Corinthia London. I'm seeing bright reds like this everywhere at the moment.

Cobalt blue took summer by storm, but for autumn and winter, you can expect moodier blues—enter ink. This deep navy shade oozes sophistication.

The Top Summer Nails Ideas And Trends For 2022

If dark shades like black or brown tend to wash out your hands, you might find navy is a more flattering option when you want to venture to the dark side.

Hailey Bieber's go-to nail technician, Zola Ganzorigt, practically broke TikTok when she shared how she creates Hailey's glossy, 'glazed donut' nails. Her secret? Using a chrome powder over OPI's gel nail shade, Funny Bunny, to get that semi-sheer sheen. We predict this trend will continue through autumn and winter.

While pastel and neon swirls dominated summer, we're not waving goodbye to this trend just yet. For autumn, swirly nail art is taking a pared-back, minimalist take. Think one colour swirls in classic black, or muted autumnal greens.

Easy Nail Art Ideas For A Simple Manicure

Black is a timeless gel nail design that we come back to time and time again. Great for minimalists, you can count on a deep black shade to make your fingertips look chic.

As I scrolled Instagram for this article, I kept stumbling across this beautiful brown-red, aptly named Rosewood by nail brand Bioscuplture. I can see why it's such a popular shade with fashion insiders, too. It's the perfect balance of red and brown, with a chic shimmer finish. It's understated, without being boring.

Sometimes, simple and neutral shades make the best hues for gel nails. After all, you know that you won't regret a nude colour like you might with something a bit more bold. Clean girl nails are here to stay for autumn, that's for sure.

Another plus of neutral shades is that the nail regrowth won't be quite so obvious when compared to a bold shade, so you can extend the life of your gel mani.

Negative space nail art makes a great gel nail design to opt for. How fun are these mutli-coloured shapes? They make a good option for a gel manicure appointment, as it can be hard to create the look at home–unless you have steady hands!
