Get A Double-Sided Manicure With Peekaboo Nails

Just when we think we've seen it all in the realm of nail art, a trend pops up that truly wows and inspires, leaving us wondering how we didn't think of it ourselves. While the concept of the peekaboo nail trend is fairly simple, the results are stunningly creative. The look is just what it sounds like, a surprise pop of color — however, not on top of the nail, but on the underside. Peekaboo nails require long nails with enough surface area to paint and embellish. So, if you tend to keep your natural nails short, you'll want to ask for extensions to try out this trend.

Peekaboo nails really do open the door of possibilities when it comes to design. In other words, you could opt for a neutral nail with a peekaboo animal print or a floral design with glitter underneath. Essentially, if you need to keep your nails somewhat simple and professional for work or any other reason, peekaboo nails might be the perfect route to add discreet flair to your vibe, and there's plenty of inspo to bring to your next nail appointment.

Choosing a solid color manicure and then adding an intricate design underneath is a great way to bring some unexpected depth to your nail art. There's plenty of room to get creative and express your mood through this trend while keeping it somewhat reserved and veiled. Just make sure you go to a nail artist well-versed in refined nail art to really pull this look off perfectly. 

This fun, fashionable manicure is another option for the peekaboo trend. If you aren't sure what style to go for with your peekaboo manicure, animal prints are always a fun route, and we'd even go so far as to call them a neutral option, making them an ideal pair for just about any hue you choose on top of your nails.

Keeping your color choices within the same family makes for a nice, cohesive look with this trend. Try a neutral top color and a glitter polish of the same hue underneath. This is a simple and sleek take on the look and can easily be accomplished with an at-home manicure.

The peekaboo trend works for an array of different aesthetics and styles. For an extra edgy vibe that perfectly matches the anti-clean vampy lips trend, try black, stiletto-shaped nails with a bright, cherry red underneath. This iconic, classic color combo on fierce nails will have you beyond ready for your next show. 

A manicure with a floral design accent nail and a glittery glam vibe underneath is a perfect maximalist iteration of the peekaboo trend. There truly are no limits when it comes to your experimentation. Extra-long nails are key to really give this sneaky craze the justice it deserves.

A rose-gold underside to a sleek, neutral nail is another beautiful choice. And as you can see, you can still achieve the peekaboo look with slightly shorter nails, but you won't have as much room to expand on the trend. If you're hesitant to try the peekaboo-style manicure, start out with a super simple and chic vibe like this one.
