Airbrushed sparkle

This variation of blush nails combines elements of 2D bling (painted-on sparkles) with 3D shimmer. While more subdued than our first option, this set still makes a sparkling statement.

Natural pearl nails

This pearl-like chromatic sheen is the perfect choice for those who prefer rocking their natural nails. Accented with a simple crystal per nail, the design is timeless enough for any season of the year.

Ombre chrome

While we’re on the natural nail train, how cute is this ombre chrome design? While the silver-to-pink shift is utterly stunning, customise the colour palette however you wish for a shimmery look suited to you.
