Striped nails are having quite a moment, bringing a graphic edge to one of the simplest manicure ideas. The appeal is in how much range a single stripe can offer: it can sit at the cuticle, wrap around the tip, or run the full length of the nail, changing the whole feel of the manicure. From fine, barely-there lines to bold color combinations and playful geometric details, this nail trend can feel polished, minimal, or unexpectedly expressive. Easy to adapt to any style and color palette, striped nails add just enough detail to make a manicure look fun. Ahead, we've curated the chicest ways to wear them.
