The Hottest Nail Trends of 2025 (You’ll Want to Try Them All!)

I checked out the latest nail designs from the catwalks at London and New York Fashion Weeks this spring.

Pastels, jewel tones, metallics, animal prints, and a fresh take on the French manicure were everywhere. I’ve been keeping up with the trends from the runway and reading expert predictions on what’s set to be big this year.

White nails with gold are tipped to be huge in 2025! I’ve put together the top ten nail designs expected to trend this year. These looks were spotted at both London and New York Fashion Weeks and are gaining popularity with nail artists worldwide.

1. Oranges, Pinks and Yellows

Nails with combinations of orange, pink and yellow are trendy at the moment. In February 2025 Nail Artist Miss Pop sent models down the Oscar de la Renta runway with orange and pink nails against taupes and creams outfits.

Pastel nails are back in trend as part of the latest 90s craze. Expect to see lots of candy-inspired colours with glossy top coats. This white grey marble manicure has a silver stripe which also goes with the latest metallic trend.

4. Double Tipped French Manicure

The French manicure is going to be big in 2025 but it’s coming back into fashion with a twist. Now there’s the double-tipped version! It was first seen at New York Fashion Week at the Kith’s show in February 2025. The image below shows the double-tipped French manicure with currently popular pastel colours.

Animal prints are going to continue to be fashionable throughout 2025. At this spring’s New York Fashion Week models were seen wearing animal print nails at the Jeremy Scott show, similar to the picture below. These were also designed by Nail Artist Miss Pop.

7. Matte

Celebrity Nail Stylist Gina Edwards created matte nail designs for the Rebecca Minkoff runway in New York this year. The image below shows a darker matte nail varnish with diamonds at the cuticles.

8. Barely There / Minimalist

Well-groomed nails with varnish that’s barely there was one of the nail designs seen on the catwalk this year in both London and New York. At the Elie Saab and Emporio Armani runways the models wore only a glossy top coat to add a healthy sheen. Some of the models had a subtle embellishment of a tiny diamond.

9. Geometric Shapes & Negative Space

Mabelyn Martin, owner of New York’s famous nail salon Paintbox created the negative-space manicures at the Ulla Johnson show this year. Negative space designs is where only part of the nail is painted. These nail styles often have geometric shapes. Negative space manicures never go out of style but 2025 will be seeing these designs becoming more popular. In the image below you can see on two of the nails on each hand part of the nail is left bare.

Over-the-top jewels and glitter nail polishes were seen on the catwalks this spring.  Statement making trends are popular right now such as the gold nail below with all other nails covered in gems.
