Minimalist Tiara Nails
Keep it subtle with a sheer base and a hint of sparkle. Nude nails are hot right now, especially when the shade flatters the skin tone. Rounded tips and soft shimmer complement the carefully placed jewels along the cuticle.

Historic Tiaras and Crowns for Inspiration
Here’s a peek at crowns that inspire nail tiara ideas. Let’s start with one that belonged to an ancient Egyptian Princess. It’s called the Diadem of Sit-Hathor Yunet. She was the daughter of a 12th Dynasty Egyptian pharaoh.
How would you feel about having a cobra on your tiara nails? Snakes are a symbol of wisdom and definitely a power move for a manicure.
If you hopped over to the Korean peninsula during the Middle Ages, you could visit the Silla Kingdom. You might even have seen one of the rulers wearing these crowns. They were created around 1500 years ago from gold and bronze. These materials are resistant to corrosion, so the buried crowns remained intact for centuries.
If you’re on the hunt for a durable but comfortable nail enhancement, give poly gel a try. It’s as durable as acrylic, but flexible, odorless, and easier to apply and remove.
This is called the Bohemian Crown of Princess Blanche. It was made around 1370 A.D. and was part of Blanche’s dowry (she was the daughter of King Henry IV). The Gothic design is considered one of the finest ever. It’s absolutely loaded with diamonds, sapphires, emeralds, rubies, and pearls.

Pearl lovers are enchanted by this natural pearl and diamond tiara. It belonged to Maria Vittoria dal Pozzo and made quite a statement on her wedding day. She married the man who would become king of Spain in 1867.
Tiaras differ from crowns in that they don’t surround the entire head, so they are ideal for decorating a manicure.
If you’re a fan of Queen Elizabeth II, you might recognize this headpiece. It’s called the Fleur de Lis and Brazilian Aquamarine tiara. The tiara that forms the base was worn by Queen Letizia of the Spanish royal family. Then the artist included aquamarine and diamond gems from Brazil presented to Elizabeth when she was crowned. But she didn’t wear the tiara on that big day. Instead, its first public appearance was when Elizabeth went to see a film at the Odeon Theater. It just goes to show you that tiaras (or tiara nails) are perfect for every occasion!
