"If having polished nails is a part of your self-care - doing them at home or having them done professionally - then you're probably wondering what the 2026 nail trends may be. Well, if you browse runway trends for fashion and makeup inspo, you'll know the models' manicures are just as telling about what's to come. Plus, with so many talented nail techs posting their work on social media, there's no shortage of inspo for your next set."
"How good are these?! You'll need a sheer black polish and an opaque one, and yes, a steady hand. You'll need a thin nail art brush and dotting tool as well. But with a little practice and patience, you could definitely pull off these lace nails at home. Or... you could just show this photo to your beloved nail tech at your next appointment."
Runway manicures and nail-tech social media signal upcoming nail aesthetics for 2026. Lace nails require a sheer black polish layered with an opaque polish, a thin nail-art brush, a dotting tool, and a steady hand; practice and patience enable at-home recreation or a photo to show a nail tech. Squoval nails — short, square shapes with gently rounded corners — are replacing long almond silhouettes on runways, offering an easy shape change for those uninterested in elaborate art. Both trends suit at-home mani enthusiasts and professional appointments for early 2026.
