"Glitchy Glam" Is 2026's Answer to the Clean Girl Aesthetic

“Beauty is missing the mark—on purpose,” Pinterest declares. Nails were the chief palette to get the overhaul last year and will continue into 2026. So many celebrities sported mismatched manicures, from Doechii and Megan Thee Stallion to Chappell Roan and Addison Rae. Whether you’re treating each nail as an individual canvas for a Reubens masterpiece or are just wearing ten different nail polish colors, there are many ways to make this trend work for your tastes and skill level. 

Former PureWow Assistant Editor Delia Curtis was on to something when they reported on the two-toned Cherry Cola lip trend in 2023. That combo is more relevant than ever with the full-on ‘90s resurgence and the fact that chocolate brown is going to rule the charts. However, given the inspiration for Pinterest Predicts on the two-tone lipstick, Cherry Cola is on the tame side. Instead, think monochromatic lip looks that blend multiple shades in one color family, or swiping on different shades (often neon) in each lip quadrant.

Searches for “asymmetric lob” are up 85 percent, but as I scrolled through Pinterest Predicts’ Glitchy Glam moodboard, I couldn’t help but notice that hair dye was also a wildcard. I’m talking electric shades from pink to platinum, as well as erratic dyeing patterns. Just want frosted purple tips on your bleach blonde locks? No problem. Half a rainbow fringe? Sure. The whole point being, there are no rules.

Blush may have reigned supreme in 2025, but 2026 is the year of eye shadow. Winged liner is so…2010. Your eyelid—and by extension, your face—is your canvas. Rhinestones! Dual-tone eyeshadow! Lines that Picasso would love! Throw your old eyeshadow brushes out the window. This year, people are getting creative and treating the medium like paint.
