Getting a manicure is more than just a way of pampering yourself, it’s another way to express your style and individuality.
Here are the most popular iconic trends which you’ve undoubtedly seen on your social media feed in the past year. You can learn how to create these stylish looks. Not even that, you could have that become your full-time job working as a successful nail technician.
1. Drip nails
Inspired by Kylie Jenner’s cosmetics line signature drip design, it’s not just gorgeous on the packaging but also on your nails.
2. Marble
Not just fit for the floors and bathtubs in luxurious houses, the marble effect sets an earthy theme to your nails.
The effect is achieved during a gel manicure by mixing a gel mixer with a darker colour.
3. Chrome
Adding a metallic element to your nails creates an edgy look that leaves a striking impression.
If you absolutely love everything to do with nails, you can learn how to become a fully qualified nail technician with us at Ray Cochrane Beauty School.
4. Colour block
A trend perfect for those who are always stuck between two colours, colour blocking on your nails adds geometric elements reminiscent of art deco style.

Throwing it back to the early 2000’s to bejazzle all your accessories, bring it back on your fingers. Add bling to your nails make them extra glamorous.
