Pixie Dust Nails Are The Sparkly, Textured Manicure Trend You Need To Try

Lately, you've been in a manicure rut. So, you've started to watch the fingers of your favorite celebs and comb the pages of Instagram, looking for something new to inspire your love of nail art. You've landed on textured nail designs and can't look away. Therefore, it might be time to snatch up your purse and hop on the sparkly pixie dust nail craze. 

As their name might suggest, these nails bring the glam, but they do it with a minimalist approach. Using pearl powder, small beads, and flakes of glitter, nail artists add a dream-like quality to your manicure that's hard to look away from.

Grab the pixie dust nail trend by the hand and start running with it. From a full set of glittery, textured nails to an accent nail or two, you'll become inspired for your next adventure in nail art. You don't have to head to the salon for this look; you can try to create these at home. 

This nail craze has a lot of glitter and glam, but the texture of the look makes it stand out on your finger. It creates a crystal-like appearance that will have you itching to give it a go. 

To get started, Instagrammer @theboujeeeparlour offers a unique look by adding an extremely textured pixie dust accent ring finger. It highlights the subtle look of the pointed French tip and the neutral pink tone playing on the middle and pinky fingers. It's like adding a little bit of red carpet to your nails.

While the clear textured, glittery polish is enough to have your fingers dancing in the night, the variation of the pointed and square tips adds a unique twist. It's the perfect way to add a little pop to your nail style.
