Spring is a time of new beginnings, and as always, that means some fresh nail trends! Whether your clients want a classic look or something bold, here are the top 5 nail art trends to watch this season.
1. Breakfast at Tiffany’s
Tiffany & Co’s iconic blue has been taking over nail art this season. As timeless as the brand itself, this shade of blue is effortlessly chic and undeniably beautiful. Try pairing this iconic colour with gold leaf or 3D bubble techniques for a luxurious, high-end look.

2. Milky Nails
Low-maintenance yet classy, milky nails are perfect for those who want a chic, effortless vibe. Think of the "clean girl aesthetic" that’s taking over simple but striking nails that are easy to maintain. The milky finish provides a polished look. Not too flashy, this design makes a great choice for those who want understated elegance.

3. Modern Practical
While nail art is known for its bold boundaries in size, shape, and colour, this season, a shorter, rounded nail look is making a major comeback. With inspiration from the Russian manicure, this simple yet elegant style feels like a reset for 2025. Opt for rich, deep hues like cherry red, chocolate brown, dark navy, black, and burgundy. The secret here is precision: a flawless, clean finish is key.

4. Creative Frenchies
The French manicure is a classic for a reason, but spring 2025 is all about making it fresh again. Get creative by experimenting with different tip styles and colour combos. From gold tips and micro tips to chevron designs, there’s no limit to the creative possibilities with this timeless nail art.
For clients who want a slow and easy approach to the season, you can’t go wrong with delicate soft neutrals and flattering brown shades. Think of this colour family as a comforting take on the quiet luxury trend, creating nails that look simply beautiful and cared for, with minimum fuss.
For the soft neutrals, think taupe, cool chocolate and milky pink and take inspiration from Pantone’s Colour of the Year; Mocha Mousse. For the earthy tones, think soft sage, warm cocoa and deep brick red. Even though this trend is about keeping things simple, that doesn’t mean these nuanced nail shades have to stay naked; they can easily be embellished with a rhinestone or two, or perhaps a subtle gold accent.
Browse through Pinterest, Instagram and Facebook, and you’ll see the most talked-about nail trends are hologram nails, chrome/mirror shine and glitter. It must be that time of year!
Ultra reflective with a mirror-like finish, chrome nails are taking social media by storm. If you’re not already obsessed with this seriously shiny trend, you’re about to be.
Summer is a busy time for nail technicians as clients look to the experts to get special and long lasting nail designs for their holidays. If you love all things nails and are after some summer design inspo, these are the Instagram accounts you need to head to.
