acrylic nail trends 2016

The past 12 months have seen nail artists going above and beyond with insane nail art, with many just gluing on random objects for the sole purpose of Insta likes. IRL, people were rocking far more wearable designs that had major impact. From metamorphosing hologram lacquer to rainbow oil slick nails, these were the biggest manicure trends everyone was obsessing over in 2016.

Color-changing shimmer was a must for mani queens this year. Purples, pinks, and blues all got the holographic treatment – and it's totally gorge.

Everyone from dedicated fans to Kylie Jenner herself rocked the drippy Lip Kit-inspired look this year – on coffin-shaped nails, of course.

Heavy metals were probably the #1 trend of the past year, with dresses, shoes, and even hair getting the foiled treatment. The silvery mirrored mani was one of the coolest takes.

Marble is one of the most Instagrammable surfaces known to man, so of course the nail art equivalent was super trendy this year. Manis featured painted-on stone designs and even actual rocks embedded in gel.

The internet's neverending contour obsession extended past cheek bones all the way to fingertips in 2016. To hack longer-looking nails, just wipe a single stripe of color straight down the center. BOOM.

Arm parties took a break in '16, and manis took over. People painted pretty metallic chains across their nails to dupe the look of their favorite bracelets.

Megaluxe nails peaked this year with super chic quilted designs. The Chanel-inspired look is easy to create: Just use a floss toothpick to create dainty indents in your almost-dried polish.
