They make applying your polish seem easy.
To me, there’s nothing more soothing than catching up on the latest nail polish trends. Whenever I desperately need a break from studying or work, I’ll go to the #nails tag on Instagram or visit my favorite experts on YouTube. Not only are these videos completely relaxing, but they’re also fantastic for staying in the know and showing you something to strive for.
If you’re searching for a way to catch up on 2018 nail polish trends, here are the users you have to follow.
You can’t know nail polish trends without knowing Yire Castillo. He has over 50,000 subscribers on YouTube and 420,000 on Instagram. In recent months he’s made more moves towards face makeup, but he still has tons of nail tutorials that’ll blow you away. He tends to be understated on his nails, but with massive amounts of awe-inspiring detail.
Maybe it’s just me, but the acylic nail polish he uses is comforting. It reminds me of clay.
If you like your nails bubbly, you have to follow Gabby Morris. Her style is infections. It’s like a cotton candy unicorn kissed her hand.
You can also always trust her for tutorials on recent nail polish trends since she tries to keep current. For example, one of her recent videos (above) is specifically about summer. She has about 520,000 followers on her Instagram and 75,000 subscribers on YouTube, and her designs are always fresh, cute and pristine.
On top of all that, Morris is also super good at never getting nail polish on her skin. If you’ve ever tried to apply nail polish yourself, you understand that this is no small feat.
The cutepolish YouTube channel is the ultimate guide to all nail polish trends. With over three million subscribers and 1.7 million Instagram followers, you can trust cutepolish to bring fresh, beautiful, creative content to your screen.
The channel is currently split among five talented women: Sandi, Hannah, Juli, Becca and April and they post new videos every week. If you want somewhere to start, my personal favorite is their 3D Seashell & Holo Mermaid Nails video.
Out of all the Instagram nail artists, @yagala‘s videos are probably the most satisfying. They’re short, quick and fun to admire. She’s also talented and able to complete a multitude of designs and tricks with relative ease. She uses stamping plates, acrylic powder and gel with the same amount of talent. It’s hypnotizing.
She also has a YouTube channel with over 130,000 subscribers. I personally like her Instagram better, since her YouTube videos are pretty long, but it’s a great resource for tutorials. Make sure you check out her Geode nails; they’re absolutely stunning.

Cambria’s Insta videos on nail polish trends are definitely the cleanest and most classic. Her nails look like they could have their own TV show if they wanted to.
It looks like her 332,000 followers on Instagram agree. She also has a YouTube, but her channel consists mostly of compilations instead of tutorials, so her subscriber count sits low at around 14,000 (Luckily, she did post the process behind making her amazing galaxy nails).
Although she doesn’t have very in-depth tutorials, you can count on Cambria for fantastic seasonal designs. Between Gabby and Cambria’s recent videos for summer, it seems like bright gradients are among the current nail polish trends!
I hope you found these videos as satisfying and captivating as I did. These five influencers are just the beginning though. Go through Instagram or YouTube to find the nail stylist who works for you.
