Spring 2024 Acrylic Nail Colors

Spring is the season of renewal and reinvention, including your nail color palette.

Cool-toned pastels are poised to become an upcoming trend in 2024. Try the delicate Coquette mani, inspired by balletcore and Barbiecore aesthetics, for Valentine’s Day or any special event; or ask your manicurist for long, almond-shaped acrylics that mimic its playful design.

White

As spring transitions into summer vacation, classic white acrylic manis are an elegant touch for spring looks. Be it Coachella or sipping Mai-Tais under palm trees – these simple manicures will complete any summer getaway look in style!

Jin Soon Choi of Jin Soon Nails in Seattle utilized milky nude manicures at Michael Kors and Proenza Schouler spring/summer 2024 shows, creating the look that perfectly captures spring’s spirit of love and positivity.

If paper-white nails aren’t your thing, try subtler hues like JINsoon Dew or OPI Bubble Bath for a soft yet dainty look that still features glossy shine. Or go bolder by opting for bolder hues like the matcha green nail design featured by celebrity nail artist Julie Kandalec at Staud’s NYFW show!

Yellow

Yellow nail colors provide an adorable feminine style. This summer, try a butter yellow manicure with its creamy richness; it made its debut after Selena Gomez’s manicurist Tom Bachik posted Selena Gomez’s stunning look to Instagram and on Sandy Liang’s runway show.

Start off this season right with a romantic and feminine French manicure featuring yellow base with pastel pink tips, or embrace geometric patterns as an eye-catching trend!

No matter your style – from grid to intricate floral – this trend works for everyone and provides an easy way to transform your Valentine’s Day look. Less is more this year when it comes to rhinestones; strategically-placed crystals have more impact than all-over glitter manis.

Lavender

Negative space manicures offer an impressive way to add minimalism with striking design elements. This style features thin stripes of color with an eye-catching dot in the center for an eye-catching symmetry effect.

Lavender nail colors offer an air of feminine charm and pair beautifully with summer hues.

Hernandez predicts electric blue will also become popular. To create an eye-catching look, pair this eye-catching shade with silver shimmer polish for an eye-catching manicure suited for everyday wear or formal events alike. Long green acrylics make an eye-catching statement.

Gold

Channel the Island Girl look with acidic hues reminiscent of vitamin-rich fruits and exotic flowers, creating the look. This spring nail color trend looks especially stunning on almond-shaped acrylic nails where there’s ample surface area to work with.

No matter where your travels take you this summer, these bold summer designs are ready for any itinerary. From fringe and rhinestones fit for Beyonce to pastel colors that would look at home sipping Mai-Tais beneath a beach club cabana – here you will find it all.

Metallic nails remain on-trend as seen on Prozena Schouler’s runway show, though with less-is-more aesthetic this season; instead of allover crystals, a few strategically-placed gems add much more elegance and class than their crystal counterparts. For something gentler yet still trendy try using periwinkle nail polish, with its gentle blueish-lavender hue which offers feminine charm.

Green

Sage green nails offer a chic hue perfect for winter and spring, perfect for block-color manicures. According to celebrity manicurist Julie Kandalec, models seen at Staud spring 2024 show wearing this hue with metallic polish looked particularly striking when styled by Julie Kandalec.

Minimalism reigns supreme when it comes to nail trends this year, as demonstrated by these minimalist rhinestone-inspired nails at the Sandy Liang spring 2024 show. Even just a few strategically-placed gems make an impactful statement.
