Sunflower nail designs are sure to put a little spring in your step.
While uncovering TikTok beauty hacks and how-to's, you've likely encountered some floral love on your FYP. Not only do these blooms look adorable in mason jars, but they also make for unique beauty statements.
If you're anxious to try out a few 2022 nail trends, why not use spring's favorite flower as your guide? And for good measure, be sure to snag a bushel for your apartment. (It's just good practice, honestly.)
Sunflower nail designs on TikTok
Like many beauty trends across the platform, the sunflower nail designs are open to interpretation: that means you can have stick-ons, sunflower-inspired colors, long nails, short nails—whatever your heart desires.
We've perused a few trending hashtags on TikTok to give you an idea on where to begin. Anyone else fancy a few blooms for their fingertips?
1. Go the pastel route
TikTok user @nailsbylilypad opts for a soft yellow and accentuates the trend with a statement sunflower on her ring finger. It's like dopamine dressing for your nails!

Additionally, light pink is another soft hue that perfectly meshes with the sunflower trend. Have a look at @halleebeee's mani.

2. Try stickers
No one said you had to go all Picasso on your nails—especially if painting isn't exactly your forte. You can simply upgrade a colorful mani with a few stickers here and there.

4. Use 2022's trendiest color
Last year we were all about moody greens, but now we're feeling blue—in a good way!
Danielle Gregory, co-founder of DOLL BEAUTY HQ (opens in new tab) previously told My Imperfect Life: "In 2022 we'll see a wave of blue shades—from cobalt to turquoise—worn to detail nails or as block color."
We can't help but love user @whoa.its.jessica's sunflower blue mani.

5. Mix up your nail shape
Luckily, short or long nails aren't required for this TikTok trend—you can do anything you'd like, but the pros do have a few recs.
"For a universally flattering nail shape that’s great for both long and short nails, go for 'squoval' a mix of the traditional square and oval nail shapes," Beautifect (opens in new tab) founder, Tara Lalvani, previously told My Imperfect Life. "Simply round out the edges of your nails using the Crystal Nail File (opens in new tab) for a sleek, fashionable looking manicure.
