If Beyoncé wears them, they’re definitely in style. And denim nails are no exception.
Attention-grabbing and still somehow functional as a neutral, denim nails are your fall-coded gateway to a creative manicure you’ll love. With the weather (finally) cooling down, we’re all breaking out our favorite jeans again. This trend asks the simple question: why not make your mani a denim statement, too? With the metric ton of shades you can find, from true blue to stone-washed, and all the accessories your heart desires, this trend is for anyone.
What Are Denim Nails?
We’re actually talking about a few different potential looks here. There’s denim as a color and as a texture, which opens up the creative potential of this trend. Whether you’re looking to get denim nails that look like a pair of ripped or studded jeans or just in love with the shades, there’s a way to make this trend work for you.
When it comes to selecting the right color, you’ll notice a lot of deeper blues that mimic dark wash jeans and true blue denim. But that doesn’t mean that stone-washed and light blue shades are off-limits. On the contrary, it’s the smoky blue tones that we find the most denim-inspired.
And if you’re looking to get the full denim nails look, there are definitely ways to achieve it easily. It isn’t super practical to wear pieces of fabric on your nails, but it is possible to recreate the texture of denim using sponges and shades of blue. Adding simple white lines can also give you the appearance of ripped jeans, adding more dimension to the overall look.
Beyoncé’s Seal of Approval
Cowboy Carter has our attention; just look at those gorgeous denim nails. Queen Bey has opted for both texture and color here, where white accents create the effect of shredded jeans and lace accents. From full coverage to denim French tips, you get the full impact of this trend in just one picture. And obviously, we noticed how close the color match is to the pair of Levi’s she’s sporting.
