I don’t have time for nails anymore (though I think I may take my 9 year old for a mani/pedi this summer) so I can’t say what’s trendy, but here’s something I used to love doing. Not sure if French nails are still in but: instead of doing the really opaque white, try a pearl white. Looks way more natural while still seeming a bit elevated. I also personally always choose clear topcoat instead of the pinkish stuff; that stuff looks super wrong on my nails for some reason, like really really wrong. Not sure why.
