Nail trends to try in 2026
Yulia Hamilton
Trends come and go, but a few looks are defining 2026 — and they all photograph beautifully. Here's what clients are asking for at our Manchester studios.
Quiet-luxury neutrals
Soft milky pinks, warm beiges and sheer nudes remain the most-requested finish — understated, elegant and endlessly wearable, especially on a BIAB overlay.
Glazed and chrome
The glazed, pearl-like finish is still going strong, adding a subtle shimmer over a neutral base for a polished, expensive look.
Modern French
The French manicure is back in fresh forms — micro-tips, coloured lines and soft ombré. It's a timeless choice that suits any occasion.
