6 Pretty and Whimsical Cottagecore Nails
It’s rustic and cozy with just the right amount of whimsical magic all rolled into one. And now, you can live out your cottagecore dreams with these easy and fun nail trends.
Mushroom Nails
Bring the forest floor with you wherever you go with mushroom-painted nails. There are so many options for this adorable style. You can use these cute mushroom decals from Etsy. Or you can paint the whole nail like a mushroom itself! Start with a coat or red polish and then dab on little white dots like those colorful mushroom caps.
Floral Nails
You can’t talk about cottagecore nails without mentioning florals. Think budding roses, luscious leaves, or crawling vines. Although it can be difficult (and time-consuming) to paint those on each nail – there is an easier way. Floral decals! But if putting stickers on is still too complicated for you, then try press-on nails instead. This wildflower bouquet nail set from Target will give you instant glam nails in just minutes.
Orchard Nails
Decals come in tons of fun shapes and colors. Just like the floral decals mentioned above, you can also find stickers in the shapes of fruits! Imagine frolicking through the fruit trees and berry bushes with this adorable cottagecore manicure. Simply press the little fruit sticker onto your nails and cover it with a clear topcoat. We also love sticker decals because they can cover any ugly chips or cracks you have from an old manicure.
Cottage Solids
Cottagecore nails represent the simple pleasures of life. Therefore, you don’t have to be overly complex or intricate with your nails. A basic manicure in cottagecore-inspired colors can also be just as stylish. For a rustic look, opt for neutral farmhouse colors like stone, beige, or dark grays. If you want to add a pop of color, look for colors you’d find in nature. This could be sky blue, forest green, or deep rose. You can also look for fruit-inspired colors (lemon yellow, berry pink, zesty orange).
If you want to upgrade your basic mani, consider adding some glam with gold foil. Sprinkle a few flakes on each nail or cover one finger in all gold.
Cottagecore French
There’s something timeless about rocking a beautiful French manicure on your nails. However, you can give the traditional white stripe a cottagecore spin with the Cottagecore French! Start by painting the base of your nail a light pink or clear. Then, instead of the white band, choose your favorite outdoor color like forest green or rose pink! We recommend taping off the tip using this nail tape. It helps you create that crisp, bleed-free line for the most professional-looking manicure.
You can also get these Cottagecore French manicure press-ons if you don’t want to work as hard!
