Press on nails have come a long way since they were last popular in the late noughties and with almost 8 billion total engagements, they’re the number one biggest beauty trend of 2023 according to the study.
The temporary nail art trend quickly sky-rocketed in popularity after Kim Kardashian revealed on Instagram that her iconic stiletto-shaped French mani was all thanks to artificial ‘stick-on’ nails.

Curtain bangs, with over 4.2 billion engagements is the second biggest beauty trend that’s been everywhere this year, and just behind, with 3.1 billion engagements, is glass skin. Other trends in the top 10 include microneedling, lymphatic drainage, ceramides and faux freckles.
