Album-by-Album (Taylor’s Version) Nail Designs to Express Your Inner Swiftie
Ready to paint your nails with a little “Midnight Rain” mystique, or perhaps a soft “Lover” pastel touch? Here’s a breakdown of nail ideas inspired by Taylor’s different albums. Use these as your ultimate concert or day-out accessory!
1. Debut
Throw it back to Taylor’s early country roots with soft, blush pinks, dainty whites, and glittery tips that give a fresh yet down-to-earth feel. Try incorporating subtle rhinestones for a hint of sparkle, perfect for her original album vibe.
2. Fearless
Go for gold with shimmery shades that give your nails that enchanted look! Combine golden hues with mini stars or subtle rhinestones to channel the feeling of her breakout success. Adding a touch of glitter polish as a top coat will give you that concert-ready glow.
3. Speak Now
Express yourself with deep purples and abstract swirls to embody the romantic, dramatic feel of “Speak Now.” Experiment with soft lavender gradients or darker purple French tips for a look that’s equal parts bold and whimsical.
4. Red
This one’s all about intense reds, burgundies, and even a little black for contrast. Use matte or high-shine finishes and add a tiny accent heart on one nail to symbolize Taylor’s iconic heart-on-sleeve lyricism. You could even try a gradient effect to recreate the complex emotions in this album.
5. 1989
Capture the neon lights of the city with vibrant pastels, especially blues, pinks, and metallic shades. Throw in a few holographic glitter accents or geometric shapes, reminiscent of the album's fresh and bold pop vibe.
6. Reputation – Edgy Black and Snake Embellishments
Go bold with glossy black or metallic grays, and add a hint of snake charm! This era was all about reinvention, so don’t shy away from trying edgy embellishments. If you’re feeling adventurous, tiny silver snake decals are a unique nod to this bold, dramatic phase.
7. Lover
Embrace all things love with a soft, dreamy palette of pinks, blues, and whites. Incorporate delicate hearts or metallic accents for that romantic, vintage vibe. To elevate the look, try an ombré effect with pink-to-blue transitions – perfect for a concert or a night out.
8. Folklore
This era embraces soft, introspective vibes with a folksy, woodsy feel. Try muted greys, olive greens, earthy neutrals, and taupes as a base, then add delicate floral designs or accent leaves for a natural touch. A matte finish or light glitter accents will complete the look with a sophisticated yet grounded feel, perfect for capturing the essence of this album.
9. Evermore
Evermore brings out those cozy, autumnal feels. Deep rusts, burnt oranges, and forest greens create a warm palette that’s perfect for plaid patterns or leafy accents. Try a mix of matte and glossy finishes to bring depth and texture to this sentimental, seasonal vibe.
10. Midnights
Get lost in the mystique of midnight with deep blues, starry silvers, and hints of navy. Try celestial designs with tiny star and moon decals, or even a dark-to-light gradient to mimic the night sky. The result is a stunning, moody look perfect for night concerts.
