Now that we've settled into 2023, the year's nail trends have started to emerge. And while glazed donut nails may have dominated 2022 (and are still a fave), there are so many new ideas to try that feel fresh, fun, and exciting. We've been clued in on the biggest spring nail trends, but thanks to the fall runways, we already have a preview of the nail looks we'll be wearing well into the rest of the year. Ahead, we've gathered the 10 trends dominating 2023, so far, along with a few of the key items you'll need to recreate them at home.

Blame Barbie-core: Aura nails are still going strong, but shades of pinks and peach have now taken dominance.

Flash of Neon
If you watch what's on Hailey Bieber's fingernails as closely as you watch her style, take note: The glazed donut nails, dreamed up by nail artist Zola Ganzorigt, have given way to bright lemon.
Flash of Neon
Nail art is a fun way to incorporate neon into your mani, as with this negative-space abstract design.
An acidic, bright shade that feels so 2023.
Touch of Goth
Goth romance was all over the fall 2023 runways, and we're already seeing it on manicures now, as evidenced by this chrome airbrush manicure.
Touch of Goth
Message manis are still trending too—but the font is easing more Victorian, like this look.
Essie Nail Lacquer in Licorice
Whether you're going for a full mani or using it for accents, a classic black polish is essential.
Lip Gloss Nails
One of the year's first—and best—viral manicures was Jennifer Lopez's "lip gloss" nails, featuring a shiny base and barely there silver tips, executed by celebrity nail pro Tom Bachik.
Lip Gloss Nails
The trend gets a spring-ready update with the addition of colorful embellishments.
Lip Gloss Nails
You can try lip gloss nails with classic lacquer, but gel polish is what will give you that signature sheen.
An ultra-shiny beige polish is almost all you need for lip gloss nails. Plus, it should be in everyone's kit anyway.
Chrome Zone
Silver is trending again, and that means the return of chrome nails, seen here on Eva Longoria.

Quinta Brunson went for a deeper metallic shade and stiletto tips for optimal drama.
Sally Hansen Color Foil Nail Polish
Sally Hansen Color Foil Nail Polish
This polish from Sally Hansen comes in several metallic shades and has a mirror-like finish.
Classic Red
The color never goes out of style, but we can't deny that ever since the "Red Nail Theory" started going around TikTok, the color has been popping up more and more.
Classic Red
And of course, when Rihanna wore a red mani alongside her all-red Super Bowl look, the trend was solidified.
Pear Nova Kissu Miss You - Classic Lacquer
A bright cherry red, like this one from Pear Nova, works year-round.
Lavender Haze
Where red shouts, lavender whispers. That said, it still can make a statement, especially when incorporated into a nail art look.
