Sweater nails are fun, festive and only take some polish and imagination to create something utterly unique. More than just a design, this style creates a unique texture for your nails that gives you that cozy sweater feels while standing out from the crowd. It’s always way more flexible than you’d expect.
Traditionally done with plain and deep colors (kind of like an old sweater), we’ve also featured a lot of modern takes with vivid colorways, playful designs and creative takes. We scrolled through thousands of sweater nails to share these with you and included a little bit of everything. Whether you want a simple idea to copy or some complex inspiration for your nail tech, there’s something for you here.
I’m absolutely here for this adorable nail art trend. It’s mostly used as a Christmas nail design, but I like them all season long, especially as a single accent nail.
