We may not be over 2024 yet, but for the beauty gals that like to look ahead, it’s never too early to contemplate the 2025 nail trends set to dominate our socials and FYP next year.
The last couple of seasons have set a solid tone, with many of 2024’s headliners set to continue to recruit fans going forward, but there are some emerging trends and techniques that are about to become a lot more familiar and OTT artwork in particular is having a major moment.
We spoke to some of the most accomplished nail artists in GLAMOUR’s Little Black Book to find out the biggest nail trends to know in 2025…
Maximalist prints
“In terms of nail art I think we’re going to be seeing more prints next year,” notes international manicurist, Georgia Rae (who was responsible for Sofia Richie’s wedding day nails). “I’m always super inspired by fashion,” she adds. “2024 was the year of understated, ‘quiet luxury’ and as much as I personally won’t be veering too far away from that aesthetic, after watching so many off the SS25 shows, next year looks to be about maximalism – being more daring with fashion, and I see this feeding into the nail world with how adventurous people will be with their manicures,” she concludes. London pro manicurist, Ella Vivi, agrees: “animal prints, colourful mirror chromes and more maximalist nail art will trend in 2025,” she predicts.
