9 Festival Nail Ideas That Will Earn You Endless Compliments


Festival season is well and truly upon us. Those of you who were lucky enough to get Glastonbury tickets have probably already planned out your outfits and packed your bags for the big event (if you’re still stuck, don’t worry, as we have all the festival outfit inspiration you need). As a beauty editor, one thing I always like to plan in advance is my manicure. For me, a festival is the perfect time to have fun with my nails and try out a design that I wouldn’t usually go for. I love experimenting with bright colours and bold patterns to compliment my outfits, and there are so many fun manicure ideas to choose from at the moment.

So much so, that I spent my weekend browsing some of my favourite nail accounts on Instagram to find you the best festival nail designs out there. From neon shades to metallic finishes and even statement nail jewellery, there is definitely something for everyone. So, whether you’re heading to Glastonbury this week or planning a day festival with friends later in the year, I highly recommend that you keep on scrolling for some of the best festival nail ideas to try this season. Trust me, you’re going to want to book a nail appointment ASAP after seeing these…

9 of the Best Festival Nail Ideas to Try This Summer

1. Nail Jewellery

For something a little bit different, why not try some nail jewellery? What I love about this trend is that it manages to make a statement while still looking super chic.

2. Pastel French Tips

French tips are so stylish right now, so why not inject some colour for festival season and opt for a range of pastel shades?

3. Neon Shades

4. Ombré Nails

Ombré nails always look so effortlessly cool. You can opt for any shade, but I’m loving this burnt orange hue.

5. Cherry Nail Art
