A pretty and stylish manicure is arguably the easiest way to lighten our mood and spice up our looks. Although the nail trends for 2021 tend to be more natural, the designs are more diverse than ever and offer something for every taste. Gorgeous blue nails or playful logo nails have had a huge impact on social media and on the catwalks in recent weeks. But for the coming season, another trend has found its way to our nails and numerous fashionistas seem obsessed with it. We are talking about the so-called eggshell nails, or in German – eggshell nails. The funny and colorful nail designs were inspired by the chocolate giant Cadburry’s and are clear proof that there are no limits to our manicures. From gentle and elegant in pastel colors to funny and crazy motifs – we have put together the most beautiful looks for you and explain how you can maintain the trend yourself at home!

Eggshell Nails nail design ideas for Easter

A nail design that is not only pretty, but can also be easily copied at home – what more could you ask for from a nail trend? And since all nail salons are still closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Eggshell Nails come in very well for us! To get the look, you have two options to choose from. You can either create tiny dots with a dotting tool or use small confetti to combine two nail trends into one wonderful look. We’ll explain how to do this below!

Required materials:

Base and top coat
Nail polish in colors of your choice
Black nail polish
A fine brush or a small dotting tool
Confetti if necessary

And this is how easy it is to make eggshell nails yourself:

File the nails and shape them into the desired shape.
Apply a thin layer of base coat and let it dry.
Paint the nails with a nail polish color of your choice. Here you can get creative and take whatever you like.
If you use confetti, you have to apply it with the brush to the still damp nail polish.
However, if you paint the dots yourself, wait until the nail polish is completely dry.
Record several dots with the dotting tool and allow to dry.
Then seal with a thin layer of top coat and your eggshell nails are ready!

Or how about an eggshell nail design in a mosaic look?

These mosaic-look eggshell nails remind us a bit of a broken eggshell and are another great way to try out the nail trend. A little time, a white nail polish, and 2-3 different bright neon colors – that’s all you need for this colorful look.

It’s that easy:

First apply a layer of base coat and let it dry.
Paint the fingernails with the white nail polish and let them dry completely.
Now, to get the mosaic look, use a thin brush to draw the cutting lines in any order and shape.
Finally, apply a layer of top coat and you’re done!

The eggshell nail polish color for a simple look

Eggshell Nails actually mean two nail trends. We have already shown you the fun variant, which is wonderfully suitable for Easter. But the eggshell as a nail polish color is also one of the most popular nail trends for spring 2020. The color is ideal for all fashionistas who prefer a minimalist style, but still don’t want to do without a pretty manicure. The gentle shade looks chic enough on its own, but can be wonderfully combined with other looks such as micro French nails.
