Nail Art Trends For 2024

Nail art offers the perfect way to showcase summer‘s vibrant hues in an eye-catching manner, from pastels to metallic hues – and there are numerous trendy looks you should experiment with this summer!

Yellow nails have made a comeback according to search data, as has the “balletcore” aesthetic (which features pink hues and fun details). Furthermore, squishy jelly manicures will continue to trend in 2019.

Minimalist French Manicures

French manicure is an ever-popular classic style. In 2024, however, its appeal will only continue to evolve through subtle details like cat eye metallic nails with multidimensional effects or chrome nail polishes that provide extra sparkle – both of which elevate this timeless trend to new heights of popularity.

For an unassuming yet classic French manicure look, the micro French manicure may be perfect. This minimalist design features a thin strip of polish about three quarters down your nail without covering its tip; this allows your natural nail color to show through. If you prefer something with more color pop out wavy version or pastel pastel that would suit the summer time.

An elegant but still trendy update is the ‘aura’ nail trend, which features blocks of color fading gradually into another hue along the edge of each nail. This manicure allows users to incorporate color without looking too garish and is easily achievable at home using an eyeshadow palette.

3D Nails

3D nail art elevates manicures to an entirely new level by using acrylics or gels to sculpt raised accents onto nails – imagine flowers, bows and intricate sculptures appearing as unique features for an eye-catching display.

Nail designers can bring this trend to life in various styles. Florals are timeless while geometric lines and triangles add an edge for those seeking something less feminine.

Layering textures to achieve a shiny effect is another fun and creative way to wear this trendy style. Choi suggests applying a jelly finish which emulates transparent gel polish to show your natural nail color through. However, experiment with other textures, such as magnetic velvet polish (as demonstrated above) or cat-eye nail polish combined with chrome powder as demonstrated by Kandalec. After applying your designs seal them off with a top coat to keep them looking their best for longer.

Burgundy Nails

Burgundy shades have taken over fall fashion and beauty trends, from clothing to nail art. Minimalistic chic looks with playful accents or double-finish French manicures in dark tones are both available – something for everyone when it comes to burgundy nails!

Metallic accents add an eye-catching element to classic polish colors, and 2024 has seen this trend take an exciting leap with the rise of burgundy chrome nails. Utilizing negative space techniques, manicurists are placing dots or lines of silver across each nail for an impactful yet sleek finish.

If statement accent nails aren’t your cup of tea, opt for something simpler with this burgundy and gold chevron design instead. The vibrant contrast colors give this classic hue a fresh modern feel perfect for winter.

Floral Nails

For those in search of a fresh floral design, this trendy style makes an elegant impression with just a few flowers strategically arranged on each nail. Perfect for soft girl era looks and even add colorful smiley faces for extra pop.

2024 will see Aura nail art as one of the biggest trends, but artists will add new colors and effects for a more distinct look. You could try adding rhinestones or 3D floral designs for dramatic effects.

Jelly finishes on nails are another growing trend that provides a soft and diffused effect while still allowing your natural nail color to show through. This look works especially well for delicate flower designs as it will really make them stand out. Additionally, this manicure can easily be recreated using just a dotting tool and some patience!
