“Jewellery Nails” Are The Only Accessories You’ll Need This Spring

Minimalist manicures will always be appealing, but as spring approaches, we’ve noticed a new nail trend stealing the spotlight.

Enter: jewellery nails.

In total antithesis to the rather dainty nail looks that we’ve seen prove popular in 2025 (think French glow manicures, soap nails and pixie dust shimmer, to name a few) jewellery nails are an entirely maximalist approach to manicures. We're talking rhinestone-studded, bejewelled designs with plenty of sparkle. While festival season is still months away, we predict that these gem-encrusted designs will only grow in popularity as we move into summer. 

Ahead, we’ve rounded up 11 of the best jewellery-inspired nail looks that have been taking over our feeds already. From shimmering embellishments to statement 3D accents, these manicures are so captivating that you won’t need any other accessories.

Intricately detailed and utterly elegant, this beautiful rhinestone set by nail artist San Sung Kim is like a work of art.

Serving up some major short nail inspiration, nail artist Sanam’s sparkly number pairs a kaleidoscopic collection of rainbow gems with a midnight black base. Seriously cool.

Created by Retro Nails, this molten manicure on content creator Betsie is one for the maximalists. Teaming gold and silver molten settings with an eclectic array of gemstones, it’s a head turner.

If you want a manicure that rivals a renaissance party, then nail artist Courtney (aka @paintedbycourtney) is who you should be following. This combination of scattered crystals, hand-painted florals and rhinestone-encrusted tips is remarkable.

There might be a riotous rainbow of rhinestones at the tip of this stiletto-shaped manicure, but nail tech Ella Hunter keeps it light and refined with the simple French fade base.

Florals for spring? When they’re as elegant as these pearl and diamond-dusted blooms created by manicurist Paiwa Loves, they actually might be groundbreaking. 

Taking a more naturalistic approach to the jewellery nail trend, nail artist Paula places irregularly shaped gemstones edged with molten silver on a pared-back milky manicure. 

Created by French nail salon Le Studio 111, this chic amber-toned manicure plays with an earthy colour palette, allowing the turquoise jewellery embellishments to pop.

While animal print tips are a huge trend right now, nail technician Bethany Walker is eschewing the classic prints in favour of this hand-painted croc design. Delicate gem details make the whole look even more eye-catching.

Embracing a monochromatic approach to jewellery, Melanie Graves’ silver manicure is full of sparkle, shimmer and an enormous amount of crystal bling.

We’re not going to pretend that jewellery nails will appeal to minimalists, but nail artist Eman’s beautiful pearly set proves that a subtle colour palette and a delicate touch can look just as impactful as a more embellished set.
