Eggshell Nails

Eggshell nails are a type of nail art design that mimics the appearance of a textured eggshell on the nails. If you're a fan of minimalist nail art, eggshell nails are perfect for you. This speckled design is created by applying a matte or semi-matte nail polish with a slightly grainy look finish, similar to the surface of an eggshell. You can combine base color and a speckling technique with a dotting tool or toothbrush.
Eggshell nails are one of the easiest nail designs to do at home and are great on both long and short nails! You can have this nail art for everyday wear, as an office look, or even for going on a date. This type of nail art is a popular choice for spring and Easter-themed manicures and can be customized with different colors and patterns to suit individual preferences.
Eggshell-themed nail designs can be any color, but the base color is usually a light pastel shade, such as pale pink, blue, or lavender. The speckles are typically created using a contrasting color, such as white, black, or metallic shade. Eggshell nails pair well with simple, minimalist nail designs like geometric shapes, dots, or stripes. You may want to pair eggshell nails with a delicate floral nail design for a soft and feminine look. If you are wondering where to start, here are some inspirations.

Tips for Eggshell Nail Designs

Use an opaque top coat so the color doesn't change over time. You can also use a clear glitter top coat for extra sparkle!

Eggshell nails look best on nails with a natural or almond shape. The soft, rounded edges of these nail shapes complement the delicate and subtle look of the eggshell design. However, the best nail shape for an eggshell design is one that you feel confident and comfortable with.

This kind of nail art can be suitable for all ages. It's a classic and timeless design that can be worn by anyone who wants a soft and elegant look for their nails.

Eggshell nails can be suitable for all ages. It's a classic and timeless design that can be worn by anyone who wants a soft and bright look for their nails.

Eggshell nails with a matte finish appear longer than usual—so keep them short enough that they don't overpower your hands.

Use only a few colors or elaborate designs on your nail art. The look should be simple and elegant, not busy or complex.
