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.
