Hi everyone, and welcome to 2023! I hope your holidays were great, I spent so much quality time with my loved ones, and I couldn't be more grateful.

I want to kickstart the new year with one of the most appreciated posts of 2022: nail trends. I know you love an impeccable manicure, so I'm here to show you the trends for 2023 so you don't have to google around! As you know, I'm doing my manicure at home, and I love a simple gel polish on my nails. But I love looking around and admiring beautiful nail art.

In 2023, the keyword for everything is maximalism. After a time with muted tones, neutrals, and simple and classical designs, it's time to shine and show our personality to the world. So, why not start with a crazy manicure?

My favorite trends are velvet nails, a fun and optimistic color for a plain manicure, the French illusion manicure, and the molten metallics.

Molten Metallics

Metal shades are stunning on nails, but in 2023 we're seeing them with a twist, and I think it's so chic!

The velvet effect

The velvet effect is unbelievable! It's not a simple glittery nail polish but a mix of products to make the look of velvet on nails. I love that the manicure will touch other senses other than vision.

The French illusion Manicure

The French illusion manicure is one of the most elaborate trends, and I would wear it for a special occasion, but it's a fun twist to a classic.

Optimistic and fun colors

Lastly, optimistic colors are evergreen because we saw them also in 2022. For those who love plain manicures like me, it's a great occasion to experiment with colors and get out of your comfort zone. In fact, for these holidays, I went for a glittery red manicure, and I felt so confident!

Which one is your favorite? Let me know in the comments below!
