If you’re looking for nail art inspiration for your next mani appointment, you’ve come to the right place…


If there’s one thing dominating nail trends right now, it’s high-shine glossy manicures. Whether that’s the mirror-like finish of glass nails, the juicy reflectiveness of lip gloss nails or the pearlescent glow of glazed manicures, these nail looks are all about creating an ultra-high shine finish that looks lacquered and expensive.

But all these viral nail trend names can become confusing when you’re trying to explain the look you’re after to your manicurist. From stained glass to full-on reflective chrome, the variety within this glossy nail movement means there’s a style for everyone. No matter which version you go for, these manicures have one thing in common – they give your nails that ‘straight from the salon’ high-shine finish. Whether you want a minimalist look or something bolder, these glossy finishes will take your nails to the next level.
