The Top TikTok Nail Trends You Need to Try

From retro styles to futuristic finishes, TikTok sets the stage for the most exciting nail trends. Here’s a breakdown of the top TikTok nail trends and how to achieve them with Barry M nail polishes.

  1. Y2K Nails: Nostalgic and Fun 

The Y2K aesthetic has dominated TikTok over the past year, bringing back the fun, playful designs of the early 2000s. With bright colours, sparkles, and iconic motifs like butterflies and smiley faces, this trend brings a youthful, nostalgic energy to your nails.

To achieve this TikTok nail trend, use Barry M’s Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paint in vibrant shades like Raspberry Ripple, Pineapple Punch, and Blue Guava. These high-shine nail paints offer a professional gel-like finish that’s perfect for this playful look. Add some sparkle with Diamond Luxe Nail Paint in Splendour or Rarity for an extra layer of fun.

  1. Neon Nails: Bold and Eye-Catching

Neon nails are one of the boldest TikTok nail trends and continue to be a favourite for those who love bright, statement-making manicures. Whether it’s a full neon set or just neon tips, this trend ensures your nails will stand out in any crowd.

For the perfect neon look, try Barry M’s Hi Vis Neon Nail Paint in shades like Outrageous Orange, Pink Venom, and Electric Lime. Pair these bold colours with the Hi Vis Neon Activator to amplify their brightness for that ultimate neon glow.

  1. Glitter Nails: Sparkling and Magical

Glitter nails have taken over as one of the sleekest TikTok nail trends, offering  stand out shine. Whether you go for a full glitter manicure or accents, this trend is all about high-impact shine.

For a glitter manicure, Barry M’s Glitter Nail Paint is your go-to. Lock in with Plumpy Topcoat for a smooth, long-lasting result.

       4. Glazed Donut Nails: Minimalist Shine

Hailey Bieber’s glazed donut nails are the epitome of understated elegance and have quickly become a viral TikTok nail trend. This look focuses on a subtle, pearlescent shine that resembles the sugary glaze of a donut, making it perfect for any occasion.

To recreate this subtle yet glamorous look, use Barry M’s Glazed Nail Paint in shades like So Serene and So Playful. The iridescent finish mimics the glossy, glowy effect that has become iconic for this trend. Finish with Plumpy Topcoat to enhance the shine and longevity of your nails.

  1. Checkerboard Nails: Retro Meets Modern

Checkerboard nails are another standout from TikTok, offering a fun, graphic design that merges retro style with modern trends. Whether you stick with classic black and white or experiment with colour, checkerboard nails are a playful addition to any manicure.

For a perfect checkerboard pattern, use Barry M’s Fine Tip Nail Paint Set, which includes ultra-fine brushes for precise designs. Combine it with Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paint in shades like Black Forest and Cotton to create the iconic black-and-white look, or switch it up with bright colours for a modern twist.

  1. Aura Nails: Soft and Mystical

Aura nails bring a mystical, soft gradient effect to your nails, mimicking the colours of a person’s energy field or aura. This dreamy, ethereal look blends soft pastels and gradients, making it one of the more delicate and artistic TikTok nail trends.

For a soft, aura-inspired manicure, Barry M’s Sheer Strength Nail Paint in shades like Sheer Charm and Sheer Grace offers the perfect base. These sheer tones provide a subtle, mystical look while also strengthening your nails thanks to their Hexanal-infused formula.
