Doomscrolling has become a part of our daily routine, no matter how hard we try to escape the misery that is our social media feeds. Sure, we can always just put the phone down and pick up a new hobby, or an even better alternative may be finding a little corner of Instagram that makes scrolling worthwhile.
I found solace in the nail design inspiration section of Instagram. A few double-taps of cute nail art have transformed my explore page into a mood board of intricate nail art that serve as inspiration for my next trip to the salon. Everyone knows how frustrating it can be finding a design for your new set. To quell any anxiety, scroll down for 20 acrylic nail design ideas for 2022.
Green Marble
Marble designs looks great with just about any color, but there’s something about a green and gold combo that screams richhhhhh.
Pink French
A pink-on-pink French says that you’re sweet year-round, not just around Valentine’s Day.
Mixed French
Add a little razzle dazzle to your classic french tips by adding a textured snake design to random fingers.
Marble Stilettos
These aren’t the nails for hard labor. With a sharp point and elongated shape, these teal marble nails are simply just to marvel at.
Neutral Marble
Here, the nail artist mixed three colors—most noticeably, orange and grey—over a milky white background for a soft marble effect.
Candy Lines
To give the ombre effect, the nail artist started off by applying dark green lines then gradually transitioning to yellow at the tip.
Bottega Green
Pantone chose periwinkle as the color of 2022, but we all know the Bottega green of the previous year is still dominating. Add this nail design to the many iterations of the polarizing shade.
Mixed Art
Update your classic french mani with a freestyle mix of smiley faces, clouds, cow prints and more.
Pot of Gold
If only dipping your hands in a pot of gold looked this good.
