The bonus point of the evil eye design is that you could do it right at home.

Fill in your eye with a blue and black pupil and you have the perfect trendy yet achievable nail design for your big day. After all, you never know what will happen at prom and these nails will support you no matter how wild your night gets.
Go quirky with your tips
If all of those other nail designs are a bit too out there for your liking, this stand out nail design is just for you. It’s a quirky way to not only give your nails a little something special but it can also draw in all the different colors of your dress. Whether you’re all about the cool-toned patterns this year or opting for something more warm, you can totally rock this trend.
All you have to do is dip the tips of your nails into a different shade and you’ve got your look. Of course, that all sounds easy until you try it yourself. There is some strategy to the look. “Using a fine brush, start from points of growth and make a line as a ‘smile’ towards the free edge from the left side and right side,” Natalia Bychkova, founder of Nail Art House, tells Byrdie. “Then, get them together and provide a ‘smile’ line on the free edge.” This nail art is also a great way to make a solid color dress pop as well. Either way, you can’t go wrong with this quirky twist on a classic.

Create a twist on the traditional french
Gone are the days of everything having to be perfectly matching. It’s all about standing out and being the real you — talented nail artist or, well, not.
Get inspired by a little on-screen bling from ‘Euphoria’
And stand out they will. According to Allure, Natalie Minerva is the nail artist who created all the “Euphoria” nail looks and designed them to do exactly that. “Rhinestones just look good on film. They give a little extra glitz and glamour,” Minerva tells the publication. “Based on Cassie and her shift in her character, we felt like adding a little extra glam was important for her nails.” This might be one of the only times you’ll want to follow in her footsteps.
