One of our favourite luxury labels has just released an incredibly chic set.
Whether it’s the need to be more cautious with money or a creative flair taking hold, DIY manicures are on the increase. But contrary to your standard lick of white, black or nude polish (lipgloss nails, here’s looking at you), it’s bold pops of colour and new takes on nail art that seem to be flooding our Instagram feeds.
Harriet Westmoreland, OPI global ambassador and manicurist for the likes of Zendaya and Rochelle Humes, is always a source of inspiration for our next minimalistic mani. Coloured French tips, miniature hearts and even gummy bear drawings have been given a chic adult-friendly revival, and to take the trend up a notch, some of our favourite brands are bringing back nail stickers.

“Nail stickers are making a comeback,” shared Jenni Draper, celebrity manicurist, facialist and beauty specialist. You may have spotted her work on Karlie Kloss, Florence Pugh, Alexa Chung or Tamara Lawrance. “They are thinner and more sophisticated than the stickers from back in the 00s but just as much fun,” she added, stressing their quick and simple application and salon-quality finish as two core reasons to love them.
“Make sure your nails are dry and grease-free,” Draper explains. “Pointy tweezers are a must for ease of application. Then simply drop the sticker on your nail, ensuring all edges are firmly in place and then add a top coat.”
Sounds simple, right? So keep reading below to see our nine favourite nail sticker finds, including a very exciting launch from Chanel.
