Mermaid Nails Are Summer’s Prettiest Nail Trend—11 Designs I’ve Screen-Grabbed

It’s official: Mermaidcore has arrived in the world of beauty. We’re already well acquainted with tousled beachy hair and mermaid waves, and now the trend is taking to our fingertips via mermaid nails. Searches for “mermaidcore” have soared 80% on Pinterest in the past three months, and the term has 187 million views and counting on TikTok. With the release of Disney’s The Little Mermaid—and the beautiful Halle Bailey cast as Ariel—it’s unsurprising that we’re turning to all things under the sea when we’re booking our next manicure appointment.

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.

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.
