40 Beautiful Party Nail Designs to Help Attract All Eyes

From the dress to the heels, hair, and nails, prom planning is a process. Every year, girls from all over rush to nail salons to get the perfect prom nails. Aside from the classic French tip, girls are experimenting with bolder nail designs this year.

Prom night is all about the details, and no look is complete without a perfect manicure. You might have the most stunning dress, the perfect heels, and the sexiest updo, but your nails are the chicest accessory of all.

Today, we’re sharing some of our favorite prom nails to give you some inspo! Read about the top nail trends for prom below or skip ahead to see the inspo pics.

Making sure they’re completely dry can make it less likely that they’ll smudge. Aside from that, the extra time can give you the chance to redo them as you like. There’s no need to get your nails done the same day!

One of the best reasons why you should get your nails done a day prior is the fact that your nails won’t be overworked before the big night. To make them last until prom, make sure to not submerge your nails in and out of water too much. If necessary, using gloves can save them a bit.

If you’re doing your nails at home, the first thing you should do is ensure that your nails are well-buffed and dry. The smooth surface helps the polish pigment adhere better to your nails, making it last longer than usual.

Finding the right shade of polish can be quite tricky, especially if your dress isn’t made with basic colors. Instead of looking for the exact same shade of polish, look for a color that complements it. The general rule of thumb is to pair cool tones with warm tones and vice versa.

Remember, the focus should be centered on prom, which is obviously your dress. Your prom nails should not overpower your dress. When in doubt, go for neutral colors (white, beige, nude).

As much as possible, try to steer clear of red unless you plan on matching your nails with a red dress. Silver, gold, and glitter designs are also considered safe options as they can be matched with your attire like jewelry.

Aside from their economical and affordable advantage, press-on nails are much easier to handle. You can put them on, take them off, and reuse them as many times as you like. The only drawback is the limited range of options.
