34Different-Colored Nails
One of the few plus sides of lockdown is all the extra time to be creative, which could explain the influx of different-colored nails and mismatched nail ideas popping up on our Instagram Explore page. Or maybe it's simply the fact that we're so bored we're turning to nail designs for a little excitement. No matter the reason, there's no denying an eclectic approach to manis is the first official nail trend of 2023.

Doodle Nails
Think of your nails like a notebook and treat each one to a tiny doodle. Yin and yangs, swirls, and checkerboards are easy to execute but pack a punch.

Barbie Ombré
If hot pink feels a little too summery, tone it down with an ombré to nude. Try OPI in Strawberry Margarita for your brightest nail, and mix it with increasing amounts of white for the rest of your mani.

Abstract Swiggles
Let your (virtual) trip to the art museum be your guide and go for a smattering of colors, shapes, and designs. Having a bit of negative space keeps things from feeling too chaotic.

Ombré Dots
Use your trusty dotting tool or bobby pin to add polka dots in different colors to each nail. Easy-peasy.

While a gradient or ombré mani uses varying tones of the same color, a Skittles mani is just a random assortment of different-color nails that make you smile. For this one, blogger Christina Hooks used Olive & June polish in CNH, E+M, Yes Please, JM, and HD.

Dainty Dots
Use the tip of a toothpick to create mini spots in an array of colors.

A Twist on Teal
Shades of teal give off total zen vibes, even when you're feeling anything but. Tiny dots spice things up a little bit without a whole lot of extra effort.

Dot Art Nails
Once you get past the serious bling-age happening here, you won't be able to stop staring at Stephanie Gottlieb's chic, minimal take on dot nail art. A simple arc of dots in bright crayon colors at the base of your nails is all it takes.

Muted Gradient
Kick fall off early by mixing muted shades of greige, burnt orange, and black.
- 33/47
Dot-Art Nails
Mix and match all your favorite summer shades by layering bright dots over a neutral base coat. Start with a base coat of Amazing Grace and brighten things up with Born This Way, Sea of Love, Walking on Sunshine, and It's Raining Men by Deborah Lippmann.

Half ’n’ Half Nails
Freshen up your favorite shades with a streak of silver. The more muted the base color, the more your choice of metallic accent will shine. Try choosing cotton candy shades like the ones shown here: OPI's Like You're Such a Budapest, Do You Lilac It?, and Eurso Euro.
