Mirrorball Nails Are This Summer's Standout Manicure Trend

Ready to dance under the disco lights this summer? Well, you'd better get your mirrorball nails ready! It doesn't matter if you call it a disco ball, a glitterball, or a mirrorball (they all mean the same thing, so don't worry), because this look is all about high-shine, fun, and plenty of glitz. Perfect for those hot nights on the town. Yep, summer 2024 is set to be the year of the mirror manicure — as well as the continued popularity of mixed metal nails — and this glam look essentially involves having super shiny and silver reflective nails that make a statement.

However you decide to do it though, just know you'll be turning plenty of heads with this standout look. We've already seen Katy Perry rocking a simpler take on the style as she shared gorgeous photos to Instagram in April rocking a silver mirror chrome manicure and a matching avant-garde silver top. But there's more than one way to get this super glam style in your life, and they're all totally dazzling.

One of the easiest ways to get the mirror nails look is to opt for a silver chrome powder (which is one of our favorite chrome nail variations). This will give you the crazy shine we know from a disco ball and it's the most similar to the look Katy Perry was sporting too, so you know it's superstar approved. We love that this chrome look is essentially a neutral too so it can easily go with any outfit.

Really want to go all out for the mirrorball nail look? If you have time, try adding silver nail accessories, such as sequins or mirror stickers. Square or rectangular ones will give the look of a discoball on your nails in the most dazzling of ways. Though holographic by name insinuates a rainbow of colors, just remember to really get the effect that's trending for summer, you want the main color to still be silver and you'll want the accessories to be reflective to really get that shine.

Another way to get that hot mirrorball look is to bring in rhinestones. Try the mirror chrome look on the ends of the nails (this look is also great for those who love a French manicure) and then dot rhinestones along the nail for that reflective edge. Rhinestone nails are extra on trend too seeing as nail jewelry has been a big trend to bring more bling to your look.

Love glitter nails? Then this look is for you, because glitter manicures aren't just for winter after all. This take on the mirrorball trend is an extra sparkly way to rock the summer trend and it probably requires with probably the least amount of effort compared to the other more intricate looks on our list. That's because you can literally paint on a glitter polish and go!
