With a new year upon us, we thought of bringing you some of our favorite nail trends to watch out for in 2025! Read on to explore some of the most popular nail trends that have lasted across the past year and are set to rule 2025 as well. Read on, nail art lovers!
Top Nail Colour Trends for 2025
From dreamy pastels that feel just as enchanting as our dream wedding, to royal blue manicures that reinforce the boss woman vibe, 2025 is set to tap into your inner ambitions. On that note, let’s dive right into the nail trends!
1. Elegant Espresso
With Mocha Mousse titled the ‘Pantone Color of the Year’ for 2025, these Espresso nails are surely going to be a trendsetter for beauty lovers. Shades of warm brown, brick brown, and grey brown work beautifully to bring harmony to our day-to-day look. These brown nail colours also evoke a sense of elegance and peace.
2. Nude Nails
The ‘Old Money’ aesthetic made a major comeback in 2024, making us all crave for a nude nail manicure. Nude nail colour is like our reliable bestie; always dependable, be it any occasion.
A glossy beige nude tone can complement your work days as well as your exciting date nights!
3. Glossy Lilac
Pastel nail colours look very pretty on makeup counters, but when you actually pick one it ends up making the hands look ‘patchy’. This is quite common with brown skin tones since pastel shades have a tendency to create a strong contrast. Luckily, Glossy Lilac is one such shade that brings the softness of pastels, complementing even the deeper skin tones.
4. Slanting Swipes
The solid application of pastels can really feel like a lot sometimes. So, we have a nail art technique that can make the shade work for you!
Take a nail paint brush and make a small slanting swipe on the tip of the nail. Next, top it with a white nail paint with another slanting swipe from the other direction. Complete the look by applying the nail colour to the rest of the fingers.
5. Art Deco Bottle Green
This bottle green nail colour is inspired by the charm of Art Deco – an era of shiny luxury and sophistication. Art Deco as a French design style uses a lot of strong deep colours and geometric patterns to create a modern look. So go on and French it up with these classy green swipes!
6. Soft Winter Nails
Try a classic French on your ring finger and thumb, adding a few snowflakes to the pinky and index finger. With the help of a stencil and a white nail shade, you can create a cool candy-cane design too!
7. The Royal Violets
The rarity of this shade in the ancient times made violet a symbol of royalty. Anticipated as one of the top colours of 2025, violet evokes jewel-like richness. Make your nails gleam like rare gems with a generous swipe of this enriching shade
8. Ombre Obsession
If you’re someone who’s got ombre nails once, chances are you’re going to get them again! Ombre essentially as a style is where two or more nail colours are blended to create a smooth fade. Having gained a strong popularity in 2024 for its long nails effect, this nail trend is sure to remain a go-to this year as well.
9. Pinterest-y Colour Palette
Colour palettes simplify the beauty surrounding us - whether it’s paintings or movies. We all have, at some point, browsed color palettes to take inspiration for our room decors. Well, the same theory applies to nail art as well! Pick the reds, the blues, the mauves, the yellows - and create your own color palettes with nail art. Break the rules of monotony and go crazy with this nail art trend for 2025!
10. Playful Neon Spacings
Who says you can’t look posh in vibrant, high saturation neon shades? The empty spacing trend combined with the colourful French tips is the perfect summer nail inspo for 2025! The poppy tips pair well with fashion trends, especially the tulle and fringe styles.
So, there you go! Those were some super fun nail trends to stay inspired this 2025! From earthy espresso tones to the vibrant neons, the 2025 season of nail trends is surely going to be a really exciting one!
