Manicure this year too sticks to the spirit of simplicity, naturalness and delicate details. Short, well-groomed nails, understated colors and small decorations that look unobtrusive but perfectly finish the whole look are in vogue. What are the hottest manicure trends right now?
Naturalness first
Beauty lies in simplicity – and that’s exactly what the return to naturally looking nails confirms. A smooth surface, short length and shades of beige, milky or soft pink are what dominate salons and at-home manicures. This style is timeless, elegant and perfectly matches any outfit.
French manicure with a new twist
A classic that never gets boring – but this year in a modern interpretation. Instead of the white line, glitter and metallic shades take the stage. Gold, silver or pastel pink tips give the traditional French manicure a new flair and suit both everyday wear and festive occasions.
Colorful tips and reverse manicure
One of the prominent trends is color tips, so-called “color tips”. Both saturated tones – for example red, turquoise or blue – and delicate pastel shades are in fashion. The reverse French manicure, where the colored arc is placed at the nail bed, is also very popular.
Micro nail art and geometry
Manicure focuses on details. On short nails delicate graphic elements stand out, such as thin lines, dots, minimalist patterns or an accent on one nail. This style is very striking yet understated – ideal for women who love originality but remain true to elegance.
Combination of gloss and matte
A trend that is gaining increasing popularity is the contrast between glossy and matte finishes. Combining different textures creates a unique look – for example a matte base with a glossy stripe or matte nails with glossy tips.
Pearlescent and chrome effects
Also coming to the fore are pearlescent and chrome polishes, which give nails a futuristic look. While pearlescent appears soft and romantic, chrome creates the impression of a metallic mirror. Both effects are excellent for festive events, but also as a stylish accessory to modern outfits.
Tone-on-tone nails
Increasingly common are manicures styled in a single color palette, where each nail is decorated with a different shade of the same color – for example from soft beige through cappuccino to dark brown. This trend is elegant, playful and easy to combine with any outfit.
Natural motifs and floral patterns
Inspiration from nature is also reflected in nail design. Delicate floral ornaments, leaves or small branches adorn mainly one or two fingers and match neutral tones. These motifs feel romantic and feminine, and are suitable for any occasion.
Semi-transparent nails
Also in fashion are semi-transparent manicures that allow the natural nail tone to show through. Because of this they look very light, fresh and elegant. They are often combined with minimalist details – for example just one stripe or a tiny rhinestone.
Textured effects
A new development is textured nails, which are created using special polishes, gels or 3D details. Nails can resemble leather, velvet, or even wool. This original style catches the eye at first glance and is ideal for the autumn and winter months.
Negative space
The technique of negative space, in which part of the nail remains unpainted, is becoming increasingly popular. The combination of transparent and colored sections creates a modern and inventive look. It is often used in combination with geometric elements or lines.
Minimalist rhinestones and details
For a festive look, one small rhinestone or pearl per nail is sufficient. These details give the manicure a luxurious touch without overdoing it. They stand out best on a light pink or nude base.
Monochromatic elegance
One color on all nails can be a strong statement. **Monochromatic manicures** in rich tones such as burgundy, emerald or inky blue are modern, confident and suitable for any occasion.
Current manicure trends celebrate naturalness, detail and subtle playfulness. Short nails have long ceased to be boring – quite the opposite. Today they are a symbol of style, elegance and modern femininity. A little is enough and your hands can look perfectly groomed and trendy.
