Trends in 2024 Acrylic Nail Colors

Recreate an elegant and feminine aesthetic with a sheer milky pink manicure for an irresistibly feminine and glamorous look at any event. Don’t leave without this elegant hue at your next soiree.

Choi anticipates that bold red manicures will be popular this summer, whether with jelly finishes that resemble watery marble (such as she did for Brandon Maxwell’s SS2024 show), or classic tomato red.

Neon Green

Neon green manicures make a statement! Showing off your personality while turning heads are surefire ways of standing out from the crowd with this summery shade that stands out.

Combine it with milky pink for an adorable yet classic nail look that will elevate your style. For added flair, consider adding some rhinestones or chrome finishes for extra dimension and pops of color.

Or channel your inner 90s kid and go bold with a squoval-shaped neon green French manicure! This look is great for those who prefer monochromatic nail art but want to experiment with something different; additionally, it pairs nicely with thin lines of color or swirling features on the nails.

Mob Wife Pink

Mob wives have garnered much media coverage this year for their glamorous and seductive aesthetic. While it may be challenging to achieve this look without accessing an abundance of faux furs and gold bracelets, dressing up your nails is an easy way to add mob glamour into any ensemble.

Attaining the perfect pink look requires selecting a sheer shade that suits both your skin tone and nail shape, and gives them the appearance of being professionally manicured. Chanel’s Ballerina or OPI Funny Bunny provide this effect without overpowering your nails.

Francis Kurkdjian’s BR540 perfume epitomizes mob wife scent like no other; rich and heady at once, its name reflecting their potential danger both to themselves and anyone who crosses their path. Tom Ford also offers excellent options such as Lost Cherry which has fruity and intoxicating notes.

Tortoiseshell

Tortoiseshell nail color will never go out of style! A timeless classic, tortoiseshell works wonderfully for fall months when combined with rich brown tones like malbec or cognac tones and animal print trends that are popular this season.

Tortuoseshell is a natural material crafted from the plates, or scutes, of various tortoises and turtles such as the critically endangered Hawksbill Sea Turtle (now considered endangered). Tortuoseshell can be worked using methods such as heating it before softening with salt water before fusing two pieces together or engraving designs into it.

Integrate tortoiseshell into geometric designs for an eye-catching and bold statement, or use it to create an ombre effect using solid colors as base coat. Either approach will add depth and dimension to your nail art!

Ombre Almond

Short almond nails are an elegant and classic style that pairs beautifully with any outfit. To update this classic style, consider opting for trendy ombre nail designs featuring different hues of one hue applied with a sponge for an understated effect.

Purple nail polishes are an attractive spring choice. Versatile yet feminine, lavender nails make an impressionful statement when paired with shimmery effects like holographic glitter or other shimmery effects. A rainbow manicure can also add flair and elevate an allover glitter trend that looks especially great on almond nails.

These acrylic nail colors take inspiration from Fall/Winter 2024 runway shows, spring fashion trends and mood-boosting elements to craft looks that are eye-catching and fresh.

The Little Mermaid

Disney fans have shown great enthusiasm for the newly live-action version of The Little Mermaid, including Halle Bailey’s stunning nail color that gives her natural-looking results and has a healthy glow.

Like Pantone’s 2023 color Viva Magenta, cobalt blue nails are an eye-catching summer trend that are sure to turn heads. Their vivid shade makes a bold statement when worn alongside darker acrylic designs or worn alone for an eye-catching pop of color.

Sheer milky manicures (think “your nails but better”) have been one of the hottest spring nail trends this year and are set to become even bigger next year. Nail artist Julie Kandalec used this luminous neutral at both Michael Kors and Proenza Schouler fashion shows, and it works for any skin tone.
