Celebrity manicurists and professionals predict that things will be simpler and cleaner. Shorter nails are taking over extra-long acrylics, and funky trends are stepping aside for classy chic designs. Everybody seems to embrace their natural nails and loves to elevate simple looks rather than try intricate designs.

1. Natural Length

Extra-long acrylic nails are the hype of 2022. However, the trend is going in the opposite direction this year. Nowadays, more people choose natural nail length. When it comes to shape, a medium almost shape is the most popular because it’s the most durable for natural nails.
