We know beauty trends move fast, but when it comes to manicures, the speed is quadrupled. Between the sea of celebrity inspiration (Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez could fill a book themselves) and Instagram creator looks it can be hard to keep up. Even if you manage to stay afloat, recreating the looks can be a challenge. Luckily, there’s a simple solution that’s also affordable and easy to DIY. Enter nail stickers. As it turns out, learning how to expertly use nail stickers is the key to spicing up your manicure and recreating the hottest nail trends

Nail stickers have gotten a bad reputation for looking cheap or cheesy, but the latest decals are quite the opposite. Instead of odd-shaped jelly stickers that fail to last past five minutes, today’s offerings are elevated and long-wearing. Some even pair with a range of nail shapes and classic designs, making them suitable for any preference. Ahead, we gathered the best stickers to use to get the internet’s top manicure looks.

Nail stickers to DIY trending nail art

1 / 6

Celestial Nails

Sticker nail art doesn’t always have to be over-the-top and loud. If you prefer a more demure manicure, you can use stickers to create a clean design. This ethereal look is easy to recreate and looks great on natural nails. Try pairing Sally Hansen’s Celestial Eclipse stickers ($9) with a layer of topcoat for added shine.

Pro tip: Since your bare nails will be the base, be sure to groom your nails using a healthy manicure technique.

Cherry French Manicure

Cherries are one of the fruity nail designs that works year round, especially when paired with an almond French manicure. Even better? You can DIY the look with stickers. The Chill Stix sheet has an array of stickers to choose from, including cute cherry decals. While this set uses a soft butter yellow hue, you can swap in a deeper autumnal color or opt for a classic white tip.

Delicate Pearls

3-D nails are still trending on Instagram. Most looks require an expert-level skillset, but this pearl manicure flips the script. Each nail sports delicately placed pearls that give it an elegant look. Ulta’s You’re a Gem Nail Gems Set ($12) is the perfect sticker set to recreate the look. For the full effect, opt for a medium square nail shape and sheer pink base.

Gold French Tips

We can’t get enough of chrome French tips. Whether long or short, the shiny metallic finish always looks sleek. Consistency is key here, and painting a perfect slither of gold on each nail can be daunting. These Gold French Tip Wraps ($10) take the guesswork out of it and give you a perfect manicure everytime.

Gemstones

Looking for something bold, daring and not at all boring? Enter this sparkling gemstone manicure. Like a treasure chest of rare gems, it’s made to be the center of attention. Take a cue from this look and use an assortment of decals in a rainbow of colors. You don’t have to be precise when applying, but you will need options, so a mixed set of rhinestones, like Gaoy’s Rhinestones ($6), will be best.
