In recent years we have seen how clean and natural manicures have gained all the prominence, and it is true that they continue to remain at the top of nail trends such as soap nails. But now, there is beginning to be a desire for much more, after so much perfection and delicacy, there is a desire for a little fun, and that is why the ugly nails.
It is a manicure that claims a different aesthetic, more daring, imperfect and even deliberately extravagant, where what might previously seem unflattering now becomes a style statement. This term is not so much in line with having a bad manicure, but rather opens the way to a more creative style.
Compared to the simplicity and sweetness of other types of manicures, whether glazed donut nails or the vanilla manicure of autumn, ugly nails are committed to creative freedom and the absence of rules. There is no design that defines them, but rather a mixture of proposals that are as original as they are groundbreaking: relief ornaments, irregular shapes, abstract drawings, colors that contrast with each other and the most unusual finishes. The idea is precisely to move away from the conventional manicure and make the nails a small artistic canvas.
But what most characterizes ugly nails is that play with grotesque, strange and even bad taste aesthetics. Nails can look overgrown like claws, poorly painted, split, with colors that don't match, mocking, unpleasant, terrifying drawings… the proposal is as infinite as one's own imagination.
An aesthetic trend that has gained popularity on social networks, especially on TikTok and Instagram, and that opts for daring, extravagant and far-from-conventional manicures. Ugly nails break with traditional beauty standards and leave behind the discretion of nude tones, classic red or French manicure to give way to original, striking designs without fear of experimenting.
