From rainbow nails to chic white nails and now outline nails, our nail technicians keep getting more and more creative with our digits. The outline nail art is one of the nail trends we have been seeing a lot of in recent months and it is pacing up to become one of the biggest nail trends of 2022.

This nail art is pretty, simple, and classy and can be worn on both long and short nails. Generally, the design is achieved by tracing a contrasting nail polish color along the outer edges of already polished nails. Per the description, it requires two different nail polishes; a base color and another shade used for the outline.

#2. Colorful wonders

Take things a step further with vibrant nails perfect for days you just want to have fun. A great way to begin to get in on the color is to play with shades of one color as your base coat and outline hue. Otherwise, go wild with various tones for even more impact.
