Not only are we very<\/em> excited about Disney’s live-action remake of the 1998 classic The Little Mermaid<\/a>, but we’re also seriously into the #mermaidcore beauty trend that’s boomed because of it. From wet-look waves<\/a> to lilac eyeshadow and pearly skin, the mermaid beauty effect is everywhere. Including on our nails.<\/p>\n

Inspired by the mythical creature, mermaid nails are all about bright, ocean-inspired colours and iridescent or holographic accents that mimic the shimmering scales of a mermaid’s tail. We’ve seen everything from vibrant and eye-catching colour palettes of turquoise, teal and blue splashed across on our TikTok and Insta<\/a> homepages, as well as stick-on detail and ombr\u00e9 and gradient patterns that create a stunning, underwater effect. Think: glittery topcoats, holographic nail wraps and rhinestones and crystal embellishments that sparkle and shine like a mermaid’s scales.<\/p>\n

From starfish and seashells to mermaid’s tails and pearls, there are countless options for creating unique and detailed designs that capture the essence of the ocean. Discover GRAZIA’s top 10 mermaid-inspired nail looks below, guaranteed to make a splash wherever you go.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

She sells seashells by the seashore. Whilst rocking the prettiest ombr\u00e9 pink mermaid nails, of course. We love this ombr\u00e9 take on a seashell design, which works perfectly with a pinky coral hue.<\/p>\n

Waves For Days<\/h3>\n

Shimmer, swirls and a whole lot of shine make this mermaid nail look super striking. Opt for a blend of blue hues for a wave-inspired look perfect for summer.<\/p>\n

Pretty Pearls<\/h3>\n

If you thought pearls were reserved solely for your necklaces, then think again. This pretty pearl detail will take your mermaid mani from blah to beautiful without the need for bold, bright colours. Team with crystal gems for extra je ne sais quoi<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Subtle Starfish<\/h3>\n

If subtlety is your specialty, then why not try this minimal mermaid nail look? It’s as easy as painting your nails in a shimmery nude before adorning them with cute gold starfish. Simple.<\/p>\n

Pearlescent Shimmer<\/h3>\n

Celebrity nail artist Tom Bachik created this stunning shimmery pearlescent look on Jennifer Lopez earlier this year, and we’re obsessed<\/em>. Not only does it go with everything, but it’s a super chic take on the mermaid nail trend. Hey, if it’s good enough for Jlo…<\/p>\n

French Mermaid<\/h3>\n

If you want to get in on the mermaid action but can’t bear to part with your French mani, then this one’s for you. Subtle, chic and oh-so-classic.<\/p>\n

Underwater Rainbow<\/h3>\n

On the flip side, if you’re after a colourful look that doesn’t scream mermaid nails, opt for a memaid-inspired palette of shimmery pinks, purples and teal for a gorgeous rainbow look.<\/p>\n

Mermaid Tails<\/h3>\n
