Warm weather is here, and that means one thing—fresh nails! Whether you're into soft and simple or bold and artsy, this season’s nail trends are all about fun, creativity, and a little glow-up. We’ve rounded up the must-try nail looks for spring and summer 2025 that our clients (and techs!) can’t get enough of.

✨ 1. Glazed & Chrome Everything

That dewy, glazed donut look? Still going strong—but now with a twist. We’re layering soft pastel chromes over sheer bases for that subtle shine that hits just right in the sunlight. Think baby pink, lilac, pearl white… yes please.

💅 2. Milky Neutrals

Can’t go wrong with a clean, milky mani. These sheer whites and soft nudes are perfect if you're into a natural look with a little elegance. Add some micro nail art or a single gold flake for something extra.

🌿 Vibe: Effortless but expensive

🎨 3. Pastel French Tips

French tips are getting a cute little update—this time in sorbet shades. We’re loving soft greens, peach, butter yellow, and baby blue. Still classic, just a little more fun.

🍦 Pair it with: A short square shape for a chic, wearable look

🔮 4. Aura Nails

This trend is SO satisfying to look at. Soft gradients, dreamy color halos, and vibes galore. Perfect if you want something different without going full-on design-heavy.

💎 5. 3D Nail Art

Want to stand out? Tiny bows, crystals, pearls, even mini flowers—we’re doing more textured, sculpted accents this season. Definitely a go-to for weddings, events, or just feeling extra.

✨ Hot tip: Add to one or two nails for a balanced, luxe look

💖 6. Micro Nail Art

We’re keeping it cute with teeny designs—hearts, smiley faces, dots, daisies, you name it. These tiny details are perfect on nude or milky bases, especially if you’re keeping your nails short.

🌼 Good for: Minimalists who still like a little pop

🎲 7. Mismatched Manis

Why pick one design when you can have five? Mix and match different patterns, colors, or finishes for a fun, playful vibe. We’re seeing a lot of florals, checkers, French combos, and swirls.

🌈 Just ask your tech to freestyle or bring inspo—we love to get creative!

🍬 8. Jelly Nails

Sheer, juicy, and fun—jelly nails are giving summer candy vibes. We’ve been doing pinks, reds, lime green, and even purple. Add a little glitter or a fruit charm if you’re feeling tropical.

🍓 These are so cute for vacation nails.

📏 9. Short & Square

Not into long nails? No problem. Short, square shapes in soft pinks, nudes, or pastel tones are making a comeback. Add a high-gloss finish and you’re golden.

💼 Perfect for everyday or office-friendly glam.

🎯 10. Matching Vibes

Coordinated nails are in. Match your mani to your outfit, your lipstick, your iced latte... whatever’s giving you life. We love soft sage, lemon yellow, clay tones, and ocean blues this season.
