These Smiley Face Nail Art Looks Are Giving Us Something to Grin About

Gleaming and Grinning
To say we’re obsessed with this opulent nail look by @nuka.nails is an understatement. Between the technicolor smiley details and the iridescent finish, it would be hard not to crack a smile each time you catch a glimpse of your hands.Ombre Acrylics
Warning: it would be nearly impossible to stop yourself from staring at these ombre nails all day long. Make like @springwithfriends and lay your smileys down on pastel acrylics for a look that radiates good vibes.Up the Ante
Amp up your go-to nail polish color by adding a cheery detail to every other nail. Start with Essie’s Fiji, a creamy light pink, before adding on bright yellow smiley faces, which we guarantee will take the look up a notch.
Moody Mani
Let’s be honest, who’s really happy all the time? Add a little bit of *spice* to your smiley mani by including frowning faces — which are equally as adorable, we promise. To get the multi-colored look, we recommend using four to five bright nail polish colors (Essie’s 2021 Summer Collection has plenty of good options to choose from), to create dots on each nail. Once dry, create faces by using a small nail art brush to draw both happy and sad expressions.Photo: Charlotte of @cheerscharlie
