Sorry, French Tips—This Is the Chic and Very Cute Nail Trend I'll Be Wearing Throughout December

It's no secret that I'm not a huge fan of nail art. If you've read any of my articles, then you'll know that I favour a neutral nail design, but with the festive season coming up, I'm definitely in the mood to get more experimental with my manicure. If I am doing nail art, I usually opt for French tips, but this year, I've noticed another chic nail trend taking over, and I think it's convinced me to try something new this December. Say hello to bow nail art.

As the name suggests, this trend involves lots of beautiful bows. Whether you prefer a statement 3D design or a subtle neutral nail, there are so many ways to incorporate the trend into your manicure. It's great for the festive season but I also think that it works well all year round, especially seeing as bow accessories are so in style right now.

With Google Trends reporting an increase in searches and some of my favourite nail artists sharing lots of bow nail designs on Instagram, I do not doubt that this trend will be everywhere this December. So, if you're thinking of giving it a go, keep on scrolling for some of the most sophisticated bow nail designs out there...
