Tis the season for excess and what could be more excessive than overloading your manicure with gemstones, glitter and decorative flowers? Nail jewellery might not be for everybody but there’s no denying it takes traditional nail art techniques to a whole new level of intricacy and design. After much experimentation, our advice is to stick to one kind of embellishment and go wild with that, rather than mix it up. The white crystal flowers seen backstage at NY fashion week looked fresh and modern on backdrop of mushroom brown nail paint. Understated minimalists can still indulge – a few fine lines of gold foil or a delicate cluster of gems on a glossy, naked nail look chic and work particularly well worn with slim, stacking rings.

How can you make nail jewellery look modern and stylish?
Choose one type of embellishment and go wild with it for a contemporary look. Overloading different styles can make the manicure look busy, so sticking to a single decoration, like gemstones or decorative flowers, keeps things chic and fresh.
What nail colour pairs well with crystal flower embellishments?
A backdrop of mushroom brown nail paint makes white crystal flowers look fresh and modern. This combination offers a sophisticated finish that stands out, as seen at prominent runway events.
Can minimalists try nail jewellery without going over the top?
Yes, minimalists can enjoy nail jewellery by opting for a few fine lines of gold foil or a delicate cluster of gems on a glossy, naked nail. These understated details provide an elegant touch and work especially well with slim, stacking rings.
Is it better to mix or stick to one type of nail embellishment?
It is best to stick to one kind of embellishment for a more cohesive and striking manicure. Mixing various decorations may overwhelm the look, but focusing on one style achieves a more polished effect.
