25 Chic Birthday Nails For Your Special Day
1. Short and Sweet
Birthday nails don’t mean you have to go far out of your comfort zone, nor do you need to go for super long crazy nails. This short, baby pink chrome manicure is perfect for all the girly girls.
2. Glitter bomb
If you like to look like a birthday girl, nothing says it like a full glitter manicure. This mix of chunky glitter is perfect if you’re having an evening party or dinner to celebrate.
3. French glitter
Using glitter or chrome to create the effect of a French manicure is perfect if you don’t want to commit to the glam fully, but still want to spice up your birthday look.
4. night luxe
One for all the night luxe Pinterest girlies (if you know you know).
5. uncut gems
Blue nails are really underrated. They aren’t as chic as a classic French manicure, or cherry red nails, but go for it if it reflects your personal style – today is all about celebrating YOU!
6. The crossover
This crossover manicure is easy to DIY at home (given you have a steady-ish hand). Simply swipe one color over the corner of your nail, and once it’s dry, repeat on the other side.
7. Starry night
This starry night chrome manicure is one for the statement fashionistas. The orange reflection of the chrome warms up the frosty manicure.
8. Gold and mirrors
A mirror, but GOLD. If you love the reflective silver manicure, but are more of a gold girly, this should be your next birthday set.
9. Barely there
This slight French manicure works for any occasion, and is a great option if getting a manicure is usually a birthday treat!
10. A pink pinky
This half & half-pink and white manicure is great for a summer birthday manicure or vacation nails – or if you’re lucky, both!
11. A birthday star
On your birthday, you should feel like the star of the night, why not have your nails reflect the same sentiment?
12. Peachy keen
If you’re planning to go on vacation around your birthday, these peach ombré nails are the perfect accompaniment to your vacay-birthday.
13. The Coffee girl
Birthdays are a day of your favorite things and people. If you’re a die-hard coffee girl, these coffee-colored nails are super on-trend, but still glam enough for a day of celebrating you!
14. Wish upon a star
On your birthday, it is customary to make a wish as you blow out your candle, but they also say you can wish upon a shooting star! Even if there’s none to see in the sky, you can always put them on your nails.
15. Bedazzled bday
More than any other time of year, you can go all out on your birthday. You don’t need to worry about being overdressed, so it’s the perfect time to amp up the glam!
16. wine and dine
If you like to be wined and dined, this stunning pink and burgundy manicure should be your next birthday go-to!
17. hundreds and thousands
If you don’t like sprinkles on your cake, try them on your nails instead with this fun minimal manicure.
18. maximalist maxi
Minimal doesn’t mean boring, and this mauve manicure proves that. Adding some sparkles to a statement nail can take it to ‘birthday nails’ level.
19. it’s my birthday, and I’ll wear black if I want to
Birthday nails don’t always mean pink and sparkles. If your personal style is better reflected with black nails, this is a great alternative.
20. A French birthday
A French manicure could be a boring birthday nail, but add some glitter and cuticle nail art and it might just be your best set yet.
21. Taupelly happy
Chocolate nails are a big trend this season, and though it likely isn’t your first idea of birthday nails, these are too cute not to try.
22. Sprinkle of glitter
A block glitter nail can be a lot to get used to, particularly if you’re a minimal manicure girlie. Instead, this set with a sprinkle of glitter does the trick!
23. Space alien
This futuristic, iridescent manicure is what birthday nails are made of. It is bold, and statement, but when else can you do it if not for your birthday?
24. oil spill
Bold nail art is slowly making its way back into trending designs. This is a great DIY manicure to do at home over your favorite color. The dark tones of the black actually emphasize the beauty of the base color.
25. Pearl of the ocean
Crystals and glitter are common nail art components, but why not try something a little different and go for a pearl instead of a diamond?
We hope you found the perfect set to steal the spotlight!
