12 Balletcore Nail Ideas That Are So En Pointe

Ballet has long served as a source of inspiration in beauty and fashion, from sleek buns to tulle skirts and, of course, the ever-chic ballet flats. And this art form has had a major resurgence as of late thanks to the balletcore trend and coquette aesthetic.

Lucky for us, we have plenty of inspiration by way of nail artists who have taken on the trend via endless iterations of baby pink shades and delicate 3D looks. You can opt for a classic manicure with the staple Essie shade aptly named ballet slippers or put your own twist on balletcore with looks reminiscent of The Nutcracker’s Sugar Plum Fairy and Swan Lake—get as minimalist or maximalist as you like! Keep scrolling for 12 balletcore nail ideas—from chrome accents to sheer aura nails.
