Halle Bailey’s pearl-encrusted mermaid nails by nail technician Yoko Sakakura.
I’ve been spying how celebrity nail techs are tapping into the mermaid-inspired nail art, and their takes are seriously chic and surprisingly wearable. From ocean nail art to shimmering seashell effect polishes and even freshwater pearl adornments, there are so many mermaid nail designs to get excited about this summer. Ahead, you’ll find the best mermaid nail art designs we’ve found as well as the polishes you’ll need to recreate the mood.
These mesmerising shimmering cat-eye nails perfectly capture the mermaid vibe without being too in the nose.

Celebrity manicurist Betina Goldstein used real freshwater pearls for Whitney Peak’s Met Gala mani, in which she adhered to the underside of the nail. It’s safe to say I’m obsessed.
I love the subtle pearl accents on this neutral nail colour base.

I can practically hear the seaside when I look at this ocean wave nail art.

From clams to starfish and conches, the dainty seashell nail art is quite possibly the prettiest way to tap into the mermaid nail trend.

A sheer wash of iridescent polish allows you to tap into your inner mermaid.
I was enticed by the name, and sold on the hypnotising dual-chrome finish.
With gold leaf, pearl and gemstone adornments, this set is perfect for encasing 3D embellishments into your manicures if you already own Mylee’s gel lamp at home.
