Popsugar Beauty Nails "Memo" Nails Are Having a Moment Hollywood's "Memo" Nails Trend Has A Lot to Say 11 December 2023 by Ariel Baker Image Source: Getty / Theo Wargo Have something to say? Write it on your nails. That seems to be what celebrities are thinking, anyway. On 8 Dec., Megan Fox was added to the list of stars wearing "memo" manicures — a trend that uses words or phrases as standalone nail designs. It's similar to the romanic "initials" nails trend that swept Hollywood last year, except with now, you can say whatever you want. Fox's iteration of the trend saw her nails transform into long, chrome tips painted in a gunmetal shade. Each finger held a 3D letter, and together, they spelled "boys suck." Astute observations aside, Fox's manicure follows a template of similar designs worn by people like Beyoncé and Vanessa Hudgens. Queen B wore a set of nails that spelled "unique" on the underside of her stiletto tips during the Renaissance world tour, and Hudgens decked out her hen do nails with the words "bride" and "Mrs. T," an abbreviation of her soon-to-be married last name, Tucker. The best part about memo nails is they leave room to let your imagination run wild. Whether you want to go big and bold like Fox did or take the subtle route by including a hidden message in your manicure, there is no wrong way to interpret this trend. Memo nails also don't have to be relegated to one font or style, as people have tried everything from '90s-inspired block letters to simple yet elegant cursive script to get their message across. If you want to follow Beyoncé's lead (which is extremely relatable), read ahead to get some inspiration for your own memo nails.
