Add a bold twist to your spring and summer nails with the hottest nail design trend: abstract swirl nails!

“The whole mad swirl of everything that was to come began then.”

Jack Kerouac

If you are bored with your usual classic French tip nail design and need some inspiration for spring and summer nails, you are in the right place.

The abstract swirl nail trend has absolutely taken over the nail art world. You have most likely already seen them on Instagram, Pinterest, or in “Euphoria”.

These abstract swirls are giving me some serious 1960s and 1970s groovy retro vibes!

It’s such a fun and versatile style, perfect for spring and summer! There are endless possibilities for creating a unique design using all the twists, turns, spirals, bends, stripes, glitter, and gradients.

How To Do Swirl Nails At Home

Due to the abstract nature of the design, they are hard to get wrong. They can be as simple or complex as you want them to be! The shorter the nail, the thinner the swirls should be.

If you want to create your own swirl nail design at home but you are not sure where to start, follow the steps below.

• Choose one base color and 2 to 3 complementary or monochromatic shades. It’s best if your base color is neutral to make the colors really pop.
• Prep your nails.
• Apply base color.
• Using a skinny striper brush, paint an “S” shaped wave with the first color, followed up with additional swirls in one or two more colors.
• Apply a top coat.

I have found the hottest abstract swirl nail designs for you below. Whether you are looking for pink, black, or pastel swirl nails – I’ve got you covered!

Without further ado, let’s dive into it!
