Did someone say festival season? Because we’re already so obsessed with all the bright, bold, and funky nails flooding our feeds right now. Whether you’re dancing under the blazing desert sun, camping in a muddy field with your wellies on, or partying beachside, one thing’s for sure: your nails should be as expressive and unforgettable as the music.

We’ve rounded up the ultimate festival nail inspiration for every vibe, mood, and outfit. Let’s dive into the looks that will have your hands stealing the spotlight this season.

Festival season is a time when your nails can be crazy and colourful. Bright neon statements are perfect for a funky nail look, as loud as the music you’re listening to. Mixing contrasting colours with mismatching patterns is all over our feed at the moment, and we can see why… It’s a vibe!

One festival design we are loving right now is 3D elements. These aren’t your average mani looks, we’re talking about nails that pop. From sculpted shapes to glossy droplets, 3D nails add an unexpected edge that takes your entire festival fit to the next level.

Are you seeing your favourite artist at a festival this year? Become the ultimate fan this summer and tailor your nails to your gig. This set of nails was for an “Oasis” gig, which pulls elements of their music and band lore, as well as pieces of the client's planned outfit.

If bold and flashy isn’t your thing, don’t worry, sweet and subtle nails are having their moment, too. Delicate designs with tiny, colourful elements like blooming flowers can be just as eye-catching in a softer, more understated way. Think delicate bases, soft pinks, topped with tiny flowers or scattered colour pops.

So, which festival-ready nail look are you going to rock first? Whether you’re vibing in the crowd with bright and bold shades or keeping it low-key with some subtle looks, your nails deserve to be part of the moment.
