If nail stickers and sparkling crystal decals are a little too kitschy for you, pearls are a great introduction into the world of nail decals. These illustrious gems are simple yet beautiful and can add a special touch to any manicure. So whether you’re looking for the perfect bridal nails, want something fun or are trying to stay on top of the 2022 manicure trends, keep reading to find some major pearl nail art inspiration, below. 

Antique Pearls

Regency-era dramas on TV have us dreaming about romance, royalty and riches. If you can’t go to a modern day ball, bring some of the magic to life with your next mani. Ask your nail tech to add lace, feather and pearl details for an elegant and eye-catching look.
