The best nail art designs are the ones that tap into your personal style, no matter how unique it may be. And as creative, edgy fashionistas, we’re always looking for amazing and eye-catching designs that can express our avant-garde flare. If you’ve been looking for some inspiring nail art that speaks to your darker side, our Pastel Goth nail art is the perfect way to customize your look so you can feel 100% authentically you.

But like fashion, nail art is about creatively expressing yourself in a way that you feel comfortable. No matter what time of year it is, dark and edgy vibes are always a fun aesthetic to rock. Many of our Mani x Me'ers have been brewing and sharing their manicures using this month's box and are loving the witchy vibes! 🔮🔮🔮

The Pastel Goth Aesthetic

This trend is all about balancing that inner darkness with bold, bright, beautiful colours and cute designs. It’s often described as the new alternative or soft grunge, similar to the 90s grunge, but new age and cuter. Unlike the traditional hard and darker goth style, pastel goth styles combine typical hues like pastel pinks, purples, blues, and greens, often mixing and matching a variety to create a dreamy, playful emo type of look. 

Whether you’re in the midst of discovering new styles that feel right to you or if you’re looking for ways to fully embrace your inner cutesy goth, we have you covered with our range of plates, colours and patterns that you can have fun exploring and playing with. Even simple patterns and designs like sugar skulls, crosses, bats, cats or candy are ideal for creating unique textures and details that will perfectly accessorize any of your gothic outfits. 

Gothic Inspo
