Move over ‘clean-girl’ nails and hello, maximalist nail charms. This fun and playful nail trend is set to be the next big thing and is guaranteed to up your manicure game.
Nail charms very much play into the late 90s and Y2K fashion resurgence we’ve been seeing a lot of over the past couple of years. Think bedazzled phone cases, phone charms and rhinestoned clothing … now imagine those on your nails. That’s exactly what the nail charm trend is. And the best part is you can put whatever you like on your nails. There’s been a lot of love for Hello Kitty nails this season, but equally, you can opt for more subtle charms like gems and bows.

Hello Kitty-themed nails are really having a moment right now. The sweet, girly nail art plays into the popular ‘coquette’ trend and you can customise your Hello Kitty designs with whatever extra nail charms you like. Whether it’s pink bows, flowers or hearts, this fun and cute design is perfect for switching up your spring mani. Kim Kardashian even rocked a Hello Kitty nail design on her trip to Tokyo last April with her daughter North.
To get the look at home, all you need is some strong adhesive nail glue and your selection of nail charms to stick on. We’ve found these Hello Kitty ones from Amazon for £8.99 here, and Elegant Touch’s extra strength clear nail glue for £3.50 here.

If you are more of a minimalist but still want to hop on to the nail charm trend, yuo definitely can by opting for smaller, subtler charms and limiting where you put them on your nails. Rather than decorating every nail with a different charm, simply pick an accent nail to cover. These French tips with the floral nail charms are a perfect way to tap into the trend without doing too much.
If you want to get this look at home, Kiko’s French manicure pen, £11.49 here, is an easy way to achieve a French manicure if you haven’t got a steady hand. And Amazon’s 3D floral nail charms include a range of different spring colours, £5.99 here.

This jewellery-style manicure is perfect if you’re a gold jewellery lover and want to tie your nails into your outfit. This nail design looks super luxe and will help elevate your looks.
This design is one of the simpler charm ones to DIY at home. To start all you need is a simple nude base polish like this Nails Inc one in the shade ‘Mykonos Beach’, £8 here. Next you need to attach the gold nail charms with some strong nail glue. Mylee’s crown jewels kit has some great gold nail art, £19.99 here, and also comes with a curving tool to help mould the art to your nails.

If you really want to go all out with this trend or have a fun fancy dress theme coming up, dangling nail charms are a super fun design to try. Elle Fanning rocked these fast food/fashion-themed nails at the 2019 Met Gala and we were obsessed.
Rather than damaging your real nails, it is definitely better to try this look on false nails and we recommend heading to a nail salon to achieve the best results. You can often find themed packs of these dangling charms to take along to your salon appointment. This pack of 20, £5.99 here, includes a whole range of charms depending on the aesthetic you’re going for.
