Nail Trend 2024
There’s plenty of hip nail trends for cool girls this winter, from velvet nails to an updated take on chrome polish – Ganzorigt predicts that coffin shapes will become even more prevalent this season!
She anticipates a lighter and “balletcore” take on minimalist nail trends will become popular: think pink nails adorned with crystals or bows for example.
Bubblegum Pink
Adopting pink as part of your nail polish collection is an effortless way to express yourself. Wear it during casual outings or special events; its bright hue will attract attention and boost confidence.
Bubblegum pink nails can add a playful aesthetic. Celebrities such as Hailey Baldwin have made it popular by pairing this shade with short bob hairstyles. Try adding thin abstract lines or floral designs for an aesthetically pleasing result.
As with bright pink hues, rosy gold nail colors offer the ideal balance between current trends and timeless elegance, offering endless styling opportunities.
Florals
Floral nails are an eye-catching manicure trend that won’t go away anytime soon. From delicate blooms to more elaborate three-dimensional embellishments, floral nails make for an eye-catching spring and summer manicure.
Your best option to achieve this look is either asking your nail tech for a floral French manicure, or using a press-on manicure kit at home. Either way, the result will be stunning: an easy yet beautiful garden at your fingertips!
While pastels remain the go-to hues for floral patterns, darker color shades also work beautifully. Sage green nails in particular are timeless classics; pairing your manicure with metallic accents such as silver chrome, rose gold, or copper is sure to elevate its beauty even further.
Chrome
Since Hailey Bieber debuted her viral “glazed donut” manicure last year, ultra-glossy metallic looks have become immensely popular. However, this trend continues to evolve into subtle yet delicate chrome designs that appear more sophisticated than flashy.
From ombre effects to gradient nails, this trend offers something for every taste and style. Nail artists can use chrome to craft intricate nail art such as drippy tips or floral designs on nails.
Earthy tones like brown chrome have recently seen a surge in popularity as an earthy take on this season’s trend, providing a more casual yet elegant style suitable for fall.
Minimalist Nails
As we move into 2024, minimalist manicures have become increasingly fashionable. This trend emphasizes simplicity and elegance – the ideal style for anyone who prefers an understated manicure that still manages to stand out. Metallic elements often complete this style for an eye-catching yet sophisticated appearance.
Minimalist nail art requires only simple lines in contrasting colors for maximum impactful yet subtle results. A pastel French manicure with chrome tips combines classic and modern elements for maximum visual impact while remaining relatively understated.
If you want to add some flair to a minimalist manicure, try wavy lines. Made famous by Ganzorigt’s now viral glazed donut nails worn by Hailey Bieber, this trendy nail design adds texture and dimension without overwhelming your polish. Metallic stripes on a nude base may also transform your look from basic to chic.
Soap Nails
Fans of the “clean girl aesthetic” can show their minimalist side with this trend that seeks to look as though your nails just emerged from a bubble bath. First seen on Selena Gomez at an Atlas premiere wearing a Tamara Ralph dress, Camila Cabello and Jennifer Lopez have since also worn this signature look.
This style features flawlessly prepped, buffed and smoothed nails with sheer polish hues that mimic your natural nail color. Color options may include milky white or nude tones; or create an ombre effect with various creamy pink shades for an understated effect.
This minimal manicure can be enhanced with simple designs that won’t distract from its soapy sheen, such as sheer polka dots or neatly lined stripes. To add an elegant flourish, add small metallic accents on one or more fingers for added sophistication.
