New items and fashion trends in manicure 2025

If you keep a close eye on nail trends, you won’t discover anything particularly noteworthy in 2024. But it’s always helpful to wrap up the topics discussed and take a fresh look at well-known patterns. We talk about gorgeous nail designs for 2024 and include up-to-date pictures.

Are you curious about what your manicure will reveal? Use our website to complete a quick test.

Take the examination.

1. 1 Bright stripes
2. Impressionist manicure and makeup continues to excite the imagination of stylists and makeup artists (only abstract artists are more popular today). We advise you not to complicate the task: arm yourself with multi-colored varnishes and a manicure brush. A dozen and a half bright careless strokes applied along (along the growth) of the nail plate will not only look stylish and impressive, but also visually will lengthen the fingers.

Fashionable nail shapes

Which nail design will be popular in 2024? Saying "any" would be more appropriate. Any manicure can be made; you can alter the length and shape to fit your mood. However, some forms went on to become leaders; we’ll tell you more about them.

Almond-shaped

Almond-shaped nails were the most popular nail shape last year, according to search query statistics. Choosing varnishes from a light or pastel range can enhance the image’s visual fragility and softness. Dark, saturated colors, however, are likewise acceptable.

Sharp

Sharp, knife-like nails flash almost as frequently in social networks as the familiar soft square. You won’t be able to ignore this trend in 2024 if you didn’t take it seriously at first. Sharp nails will be noticed even if they are covered in ordinary burgundy varnish. It’s not easy to grow such, but nobody expects you to do the impossibly difficult thing. Simply purchase fake nails if your natural nails are weak or if you need them for a special occasion like a spectacular farewell.

Oval

A nail with an oval shape is one whose edge reflects the contours of its lunula. It is hardly shocking that this nail shape is so well-liked in a time when being natural is in. The oval shape has the added benefit of looking good on both short and long nails.

Round

Round nails are always popular because they are usually connected to a polished, feminine appearance. It is best to go with an alternative shape (the same oval or almond) for long nails, but there isn’t a better shape you can think of for short nails.

Square

Many beauty conservatives still do not know that there are other shapes besides the soft square, despite it being the main character for ten years. If this describes you, you can add some variety to your manicure by selecting unusual hues, textures, and patterns. View the picture below.

Ballerina

These days, this ostentatious shape has a lot of fans, even among the stars, so it deservedly made it into our rating. "Ballerina" is a contentious choice when it comes to a daytime or professional manicure. However, you can take a chance if there isn’t a rigid dress code at work. Start with medium-length nails and build up the strength over time.

What colors for manicure are in fashion in 2025?

Lists of the hottest colors for manicures and makeup appear to be obsolete; instead, go with your personal preference when selecting lipsticks and varnishes. And draw inspiration from our assortment of captivating color options.

Red

A red manicure is not supposed to reveal anything. Pick a varnish color (red, tomato, ruby, cherry) that complements your skin tone the best. And allow the unique approach to be reflected in a unique design.

Brown

Warm, subdued colors that resemble beige will be fashionable in 2024. Even if you don’t normally like coffee or sweets, you will still enjoy a manicure in shades like coffee, cream, toffee, and crème brulee.

White

White polish deserves to be used for more than just classic French manicures, as most people only use it for. It will look unique whether you use it with silver shimmer, create colorful patterns over a white foundation, or apply the polish by itself. This material contains even more ideas gathered.

Yellow

Pastel colors are trendy in 2024 for both makeup and manicures. In this design, yellow has a particularly appealing look.

Burgundy

A classic manicure in one color—burgundy—is timeless. Furthermore, there’s no reason to change it this year. For nails of any length or shape, a monochromatic burgundy manicure is a chic option.

Blue

2024’s primary color is blue. And you have to admit, this is a strong case for getting a manicure in one of its shades at least once. A cobalt, ultramarine, or sapphire manicure in a single color makes a bold and stylish statement.

Pink

Like red, pink polish is always in style, so talking about it is useless. Unless 2024 comes around and pretty pastel pink becomes more important.

Blue

Were you aware that last year’s top ten most popular nail polish shades included soft blue? Don’t worry if you haven’t used it yet; blue hues are still in style this year. You’ll find a few manicure ideas that are worth thinking about below.

Green

We suggest looking more closely at the following deep green varnishes: emerald, bottle, dark turquoise, and moss green. This kind of varnish appears impressive and noble, especially when paired with tanned skin.

Purple

Turn up the brightness to the maximum: there’s no need for explanation or rationale when it comes to a juicy purple manicure. Keep in mind that purple complements gold, cream, and gray the best.

Black

Forget about creating a rock star manicure if you want to create something unique with black nail polish. A stylish manicure should be uneven in addition to being neat (no chips!). The image no longer appears depressing at all, thanks to gold or colorful patterns contrasting with a barely perceptible shimmer in black polish!

Manicure ideas for autumn 2025

Apart from the fundamental nail designs for the year, here are three additional manicure concepts that will help you spice up your look for the autumn of 2024.

1. 1 Three important nail trends of the year: animal print, matte polish and almond-shaped nails. This combination is rather from the category "for the most daring", but you can choose one thing from this set.

Manicure trends in 2024 will emphasize uniqueness and creativity, with a focus on striking colors, abstract patterns, and a fusion of traditional and contemporary looks. Anticipate a rise in vivid, attention-grabbing nail art combined with natural, minimalist looks that let everyone show off their individual style.

New fashionable nail designs for spring – summer

In 2024, what kind of manicure should I get in the spring and summer? We propose four concepts.

1. 1 Pastel
2. Mint, soft pink, sky-blue pastel varnishes lift the mood no worse than sweets. But the former have a significant advantage: you can never part with them for a minute!

French manicure—2025

The upcoming year’s fashion trends are already known to us, but what will happen to French manicures in 2024?

• Take a closer look at the look from the fall-winter show: not only the tips of the nails, but also the lunulae are emphasized with white thin stripes. Note that the manicure is matte and due to this it looks even more impressive. So a matte transparent coating for nails is an absolute must.

Delicate nude manicure

What 2024 should look like for a nude manicure? Unique! Make the transparent or nude (soft pink or beige) varnish the focal point and add an intriguing detail to balance it. For instance, a golden "web," thin geometric lines, a pattern resembling gold leaf, or a thin strip with a craquelure effect.

Original nail design ideas with glitter or rhinestones

Nail artists use glitter and rhinestones voluntarily at fashion shows, which makes sense—a shiny manicure draws attention from all angles. A silver pendant extends a strip of rhinestones that is arranged in the middle of the nail. You can replicate a shorter version of this manicure without a pendant because it is hardly appropriate for everyday wear.

Stylish manicure for short nails

It’s okay to turn down bright images even if you have very short nails and a small nail plate. Apply a rainbow of colors to your nails, embellish with rubbing and rhinestones, add intriguing patterns or simple graphic details, or embellish with symbols or bold inscriptions. It’s good to have freedom of speech!
