Midnights/Midnight rain

This design was inspired by the nails Taylor Swift posted to her Instagram story the night before she released Midnights ⭐ The charms I used are the Cirque Colors Celestial Charms*. ✨

@thisiznails Happy #midnights release day 🌟✨ these nails are inspired by @taylorswift’s Midnights Manicure 🖤 #tsmidnights #taylorswift #frenchnails #midnightrain #diymani ♬ Midnight Rain - Taylor Swift

Lavender haze (version 1)

For my first set of Lavender Haze nails, I tried gel marbling for the first time using two shades of purple. I was hoping it would look like a purple haze or smoke, and I think it ended up looking pretty close to that. 💜 Gel marbling also became one of my new favourite techniques after doing this design.

@thisiznails Lavender haze inspired nails 💜 this was my first time doing gel marbling and I’ll definitely be doing more of it 🤩 #lavenderhaze #midnights #taylorswift #gelnails #diymani ♬ Lavender Haze - Taylor Swift

Lavender haze (version 2)

A song so good it inspired me twice... 💜💜 I think I slightly prefer this version to the first one. The holographic stars I used are from Etsy.

@thisiznails Version 2 of Lavender Haze nails in honour of the music video finally being released 💜💜 #taylorswift #lavenderhaze #midnights #nailart #theerastour #nailinspo ♬ Lavender Haze - Taylor Swift

Maroon

To me this dark gradient captures the essence of Maroon 🍷♥️

@thisiznails Replying to @patrdml Maroon-inspired nails for my next set of Taylor Swift nails🍷♥️ the last chorus of this song gets me everytime 😩 #maroon #taylorswift #midnights #nailart #taylorswiftnails #theerastour #nailinspo #maroontaylorswift ♬ Maroon - Taylor Swift

Bejeweled

Best believe these nails are bejeweled! All you need are a whole lot of gems* and a whole lot of patience for this design. 💎

@thisiznails Bejeweled inspired mani 💎 should I do any other Midnights inspired nails? 👀 #tsmidnights #bejeweled #gelnails #naildesigns ♬ bejeweled transition - theo (taylor’s version)

Mirrorball

These nails will show you every version of yourself tonight... The gorgeous holographic sequins used in this design are from Etsy ✨

@thisiznails Mirrorball nails / disco ball nails 🪩 🤩 #holographicnails #discoballnails #mirrorball #nailtutorial ♬ mirrorball - Taylor Swift

Snow on the beach

I admit these aren't very beachy but they are very snowy and bright❄️🏖️

@thisiznails Snow on the beach nails, but hold the beach ❄️❄️ #snowonthebeach #tsmidnights #snowflakenails #winternails #diymani ♬ Snow On The Beach - Taylor Swift

Labyrinth

Obsessed with the iridescent green chrome* on these 🤩

@thisiznails Nail art inspired by Labyrinth from Taylor Swift’s Midnights album 💙 what Taylor nails should I do next? 👀 #taylorswiftnails #taylorswift #swiftienails #nailart #taylornation #labyrinth #midnights #theerastour ♬ Labyrinth - Taylor Swift

Lover

This design is inspired by the Lover album cover 💗 I used a small piece of a makeup sponge wedge to dab on all the colours, then painted the outline of a bright pink heart.

@thisiznails Taylor Swift Lover-inspired nails 💗💗💗 trust the process on these, I promise they look better after the top coat 😍 #nailart #taylorswiftnails #lovernails #taylorswiftlover #loveralbum #pinknails #cutenails #nailarttutorial ♬ Lover - Taylor Swift

Anti-Hero

This design was inspired by the ghosts in the Anti-Hero music video. If you wanted to replicate a more simple version, you could just use elements for each ghost, like the flowers, hearts, or the purple glitter.

@thisiznails Replying to @isa_llinz Taylor you’ll be fine ✨This is definitely not an easy design, but to create a more simple version you could try just using elements from each ghost, like the flowers or the hearts and do some sparkly purple nails too 💜 #antihero #tsmidnights #midnights #taylorswiftnails #nails #nailart #theerastour #naildesigns ♬ Anti-Hero - Taylor Swift

Mastermind

These nails feature these cute gear charms* I found on amazon ⚙️ The gears are a bit stiff, so be sure to bend them to your nails shape before applying them to your nails 💙

@thisiznails Replying to @by..min Mastermind nails ✨⚙️ I’ve been watching clips of the eras tour all day, it’s so good 😭 #theerastour #taylorswift #taylorswiftnails #swifttok #swiftienails #mastermind #midnights ♬ Mastermind - Taylor Swift

Would've, could've, should've

To create a stained glass effect, I mixed some gel colours with a bit of top coat to create a translucent jelly. Then, I outlined the colours in black to create the glass outline.

@thisiznails Replying to @by..min I had to attempt stained glass window nails for Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve ♥️ this song hurts so good 😭 #taylorswiftnails #midnights #wouldvecouldveshouldve #theerastour #nailart #jellynails ♬ Would've, Could've, Should've - Taylor Swift

Glitch

I think there's been a glitch 💙🖤❤️ To create this design, I created a shape in black, then outlined one side in blue and the other in red, with horizontal lines coming out of each side.

@thisiznails Taylor Swift Glitch inspired nails ♥️ I think these turned out so cool 👀 #midnights #taylorswiftnails #glitch #nailart #nailinspo #theerastour #erasnails ♬ Glitch - Taylor Swift

Death by a thousand cuts

These death by a thousand cuts nails feature a bunch of hearts with lines through them to represent the thousand cuts, as well as the traffic lights that say "idk." They were inspired by some fun eras tours outfits I've seen on TikTok 💗💗

@thisiznails Replying to @flozapata_ Death by a thousand cuts is probably my favourite song on Lover, so I was so excited to do these nails 💗💗 #dbatc #lover #taylorswift #taylorswiftnails #nailart #theerastour ♬ Death By A Thousand Cuts - Taylor Swift

Invisible string

One single thread of gold tied me to you 💛 I used gold chrome powder* to create the gold thread for this design.

@thisiznails Invisible string nails 🎀 I couldn’t paint an invisible string so i went with the thread of gold 💝 This was my first time attempting to ombre with gel so don’t mind the amateur blending haha #taylorswiftnails #taylorswift #invisiblestring #erastour #nailart #nails #nailideas ♬ invisible string - Taylor Swift

1989

These nails were inspired by the 1989 album cover 💙💙💙💙

Speak Now (Taylor's Version)

Purple, sparkly, starry nails were necessary for the release of Speak Now TV 💜💜💜 I got these cute star and heart charms from this set on Amazon*.
