Nail Trend 2024

Green hues have taken over manicure trends this season, from springy lime and pistachio to winter sage – and according to nail pros this trend fits every person’s style!

Professional nail technicians predict that ultra minimalist nails will remain increasingly fashionable. To add some flare to the minimal aesthetic, consider trying eye-catching finishes like jelly polish or textural designs for added flair.

Coquette Nails

The coquette aesthetic entails embracing feminine features to achieve an irresistibly romantic and girly style. This manicure trend combines pale pink or neutral base colors with various 3D accents for an ultra feminine and chic appearance, such as ruffles, bows and charms on nails. Long nail length is recommended to give more surface area for decorating these nail beds with unique details.

Coquette nails are an effortless way to show off your feminine side without much effort required. From adding sweetness to your outfit to providing you with the ideal manicure for a fairytale or grunge look, this 2024 manicure trend has you covered!

If you want to try this manicure trend at home, we suggest searching Paintlab or Dashing Diva press on nails as they offer many different coquette designs that are simple and quick to apply – without needing paint or gel polish to stay on.

Chrome Finishes

Chrome stands in contrast to its counterpart brushed nickel in that its appearance is both highly polished and highly reflective – which gives off an understated matte silver hue. Instead, chrome features highly reflective surfaces which shimmer beautifully – creating an intensely beautiful silver finish which can read bold or retro modern depending on the shape or style of fixture being installed. A stunning shine adds not only aesthetic value to a fixture but also makes cleaning much simpler. Bright or satin chrome plating has been rack-plated, protecting it from potential damage caused by hard water and harsh chemicals (such as cleaners). Wiping with a soft dry cloth after each use helps avoid water spots and mineral build-up, while commercial Chrome polish should be applied regularly to preserve its gleaming finish. Due to finger print issues, other options like brushed silver or even stainless steel may be more suitable as shower fixtures.

Balletcore

Balletcore draws major inspiration from ballerinas with its tulle skirts and wrap sweaters, drawing upon a subversive aesthetic inspired by ballet dancers. It allows women to dress more feminine than they might feel comfortable doing otherwise; balletcore also helps add theatricality to everyday looks so you feel like wearing something special when just out with friends for drinks!

As for nails, 2024 promises a super glossy manicure by layering different textures. Donut-glazed nails were popular last year and we anticipate this trend continuing into 2024. You can wear these with neutral jelly polishes or create eye-catching combinations of glitter with chrome powder finishes like Hailey Bieber’s recent look. Sally Hansen special effects topcoats feature glitter-infused microcapsules for an easy way to layering. You could even add extra shimmer with clear nail polish featuring metallic shimmer.

Bows

Bows are an easy and stylish way to add some fun and flair to any manicure, and this season they come in various shades – whether that means an icy blue pool water hue or vibrant cherry red cherry shades that celebrate summertime fun! These trends allow us to express ourselves and show our summertime spirit through nail art.

Green is an eye-catching color choice this summer. From lush forests to zesty lime hues, this shade can add visual interest when worn as nail polish or integrated into floral arrangements.

Other seasonal hues include fresh soap nails, which evoke an alluring image of freshly-washed hands. Champagne Chrome adds a sophisticated yet reflective finish that’s particularly beautiful on short almond-shaped nails; look for it among celebrities such as Hailey Bieber and Sarah Chue (who gave Annette Bening her classic chic pedicure at the Oscars with TGB Precious)! For something bolder try holographic nails which offer mesmerizing iridescent finishes.
