39 festival nails to bring the party to your fingertips 

Honestly, festivals are an open invitation to go wild – from your head to your toes (and fingers) which is why maximalism is the word when it comes to festival nails. You won't see some shy retiring milky mani in these parts because even if you're more minimally inclined, there are still some dreamy ways to add a little razzle to your mani. 

If you like to keep them short, we love the micro French in brights or rainbow colours. If you're about almond shapes all the way, we're obsessed with chrome tips. Colour-phobic, we're here for a little monochrome moment (like the adorable black and white flower names below), or want to add a fun detail to a barely-there base, the smiley face emoji looks surprisingly chill in a pretty mellow yellow.

As for the statement makers, festival nails are where you can really go high voltage, because how else is your future rockstar bf going to notice you waving in the crowd? We love edgy flame nails amped up in eye-catching chromes, colour-clash manis decorated in mix n match designs (can't commit to one) and 3D gemstones to take your mani to another level, quite literally.

Want to lean into the festival feeling? The ‘70s designs that are currently headlining were made for this moment. We’re talking groovy hippy trippy designs like psychedelic swirls and kaleidoscopic tie-dye prints.
