Dive into Style: 17+ Stunning Turquoise Nail Designs You Need to Try (DIY Tips!)

1. Classic Turquoise & Silver Glitter Fade

Let’s start with a classic beauty! This look features sleek turquoise coffin nails. Some nails are painted a solid, glossy turquoise, while the accent nails showcase a gorgeous silver glitter ombre or fade effect, starting densely near the cuticle and becoming sparser towards the tip. It’s simple, elegant, and the sparkle is just right – perfect for adding a touch of glam to a vibrant color. This is a fantastic go-to summer nail design.

• Get the Look at Home:
  1. Prep your nails (coffin shape shown) and apply a base coat ☍ .
  2. Apply two coats of your favorite turquoise nail polish ☍ to the nails you want solid. Let dry/cure.
  3. For the glitter fade nails: Apply the same turquoise base polish. While it’s still slightly tacky (or after curing gel), take a silver glitter polish ☍ (one with various sizes works well). Apply it more heavily near the cuticle using the polish brush, then use a light touch or a dry brush/sponge to gently drag or dab the glitter downwards, thinning it out. Alternatively, use loose silver glitter and press it into a tacky layer or gel inhibition layer, concentrating it near the cuticle.
  4. Finish all nails with a glossy top coat ☍ .
