There are less than 50 days left in 2019 meaning that there is only time for two, at best, three trips to the nail salon left before the year ends. Turning over a new leaf means trying out new trends, embracing edgy color palettes, and leveling up your nail design game and xoNecole has all of the nail design inspiration that you need before we bring in the new year.


From entertainers like Lizzo and Normani to actresses like Kerry Washington and Laurier Harrier, there were a few celebs that gave us major nail envy this year and we have all the details.

Scroll below to check out 15 of our favorite nail moments this year:

Justine Skye's nail tech is a whole beast in these streets and this set of spooky designs proves that you're not doing too much. They're just not doing enough.

Laura Harrier

Laurier Harrier did not come to play at this year's Met Gala and her metal and Swarovski crystal-encrusted set of acrylics deserves all of the awards.

Cardi B

Cardi B made sure her candied Swarovski tips matched her red bottoms at this year's Met Gala, where she wore a dress that took more than 2,000 hours to create.

Justine Skye

Justine's Skye's fun twist on a French manicure was one of the many trends that we were all over in 2019.

La La Anthony

Both La La Anthony and Heather Sanders rocked this set of handpainted jelly pink matte nails that were crafted by LA nail artist, Chaun P.

Lizzo

Lizzo is our forever style inspiration and this blinged-out set of hot pink nails (and hands) is good as hell.

Zoe Kravitz 

As entertainment royalty, it's only right that Lisa Bonet's fashionable mini-me would make the list rocking a set of black/negative space nails that we couldn't help but screenshot.

Lizzo came through drippin' all the juice, both literally and figuratively.

Monochrome is never a bad idea, and Zendaya knows this well.

They say you should go bold or go home and it's clear that Normani isn't shutting the party down anytime soon.
