The Top 5 Nail Art Trends for Spring 2025
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.
Get the look: Glitterbels Hema Free Gel Polish in More Please is the perfect Tiffany Blue to elevate your nail game.
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.
Get the look: Try Glitterbels Hema Free Builderbel Gel Birdie for that perfect, clean finish.
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.
Get the look: Try Glitterbels Unbelievable Gel in Sass Pot — a stunning deep burgundy that will look fabulous on any skin tone.
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.
Get the look: Try a tonal French mani with pink and a red tip using OPI’s Flamingo Your Own Way tipped with Thrillifying from the Wicked range.
5. Soft neutrals and earthy tones
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.
Get the look: Glitterbels Brush On Builder Gel Cover in Beige.
