Because just wearing a jersey is too mainstream!

The 2026 FIFA World Cup is officially here! And whether you’re team Argentina or Brazil, Mexico or Portugal, there’s a good chance that you love to take pride in your team, and dress the part while cheering for them. However, this World Cup season, let your love for your team extend beyond just wearing a jersey. Enter: FIFA-inspired manicures! They are fun, quirky, and super colourful! Ladies, if you too would like to embrace FIFA-inspired nails this World Cup season, we have put together for you some major manicure inspiration!
If you are supporting France (and are a maximalist at heart), you will absolutely love this manicure. The french tips with the French flag, the Eiffel Tower, France’s national bird rooster…we love the attention to detail on these nails!
The fans of Portugal (or Cristiano Ronaldo) can opt for this manicure with the team colours, team emblem, Ronaldo’s jersey number, along with an ode to Ronaldo’s iconic celebration ‘Siiiuuu’.
Or, if you are an England supporter, we suggest this super cool french tip manicure. The best part? The 3D World Cup trophy!
England fans with a penchant for minimalism can opt for this “less is more” England-inspired manicure.
If you are team Scotland, you have the beautiful colour combination of white and navy blue to work with. Our pick? These fun nails with the Scotland flag.
Argentina fans are another set of people who get a great colour combination. Sky blue and white look beautiful together. And not just that, there’s a lot they can do with the Sun of May. We’re loving these nails with the Sun of May, a football, and the word ‘Argentina’ written on them.
Brazil supporters, how about this manicure? We, for one, love the colour combination of dark blue, green and yellow, peppered with gold.
Argentina fans can also take inspiration from this manicure with Messi’s jersey number, the trophy, the stars, and the Sun of May.
France supporters can also take inspiration from this short manicure. The World Cup trophy, the metallic star, the stripes in their signature colours, the word “France” written in the most beautiful font…there’s nothing not to love! Swipe to see similar manicures for other teams!
Mexico fans, assemble!
Or, if you’re here just for the love of football, this one’s our favourite: the grass of the football field as the tips of the french manicure, with a little 3D football on top! How cute is that?
