Move over French tips, there’s a new nail art trend on the scene that combines a love of crafting with manicure and we think you might love it. Micro crochet nail art is the latest obsession lighting up our Instagram feeds and it’s every bit as adorable (and impractical) as it sounds.
Crafted with impossibly fine threads and the tiniest of hooks, these miniature crocheted creations are being delicately stitched directly onto nail surfaces or artfully applied as accents.
Think lace-like bows, tiny flowers, and whimsical textures, each no larger than a fingernail but packed with intricate detail.
In a recent Instagram post, micro crochet artist Lucia Dolgopolova shared: “These are all the micro crochet nail art pieces I’ve made recently. They’re not for everyday wear – they’re just for fun, and simply because I love making them.”
The trend seems to have originated from crafty creators blending two beauty worlds: nail artistry and fibre crafts.
Influencers and crochet artists alike are showing off their handiwork in pastel palettes, baby brights, and even bold neons, proof that this trend is as versatile as it is impressive.
Not only does it look unique, but it also doubles as a conversation starter. And let’s be honest: who wouldn’t be impressed by a 3mm daisy crocheted by hand?
Ready to try it? Pair your micro crochet details with a soft nude or sheer polish to let the textile textures shine, or go bold with colour-blocked bases for a playful pop. Because in 2025, your manicure can be both an outfit and a work of art.
