The 6 Nail-Art Trends Pros Predict Will Be Huge For 2019

2018 has had its ups and downs, that's for sure, but it's been a great year for inventive manicure trends overall. Leopard print, negative space, and not-so-simple scribble reigned supreme in salons and, of course, on Instagram, prompting us to ditch the failsafe nudes altogether (sorry, Ballet Slippers; sorry, Queen Elizabeth) for something a little more offbeat — and next year's crop promises to be just as creative and cool.
