Predicting 10 Nail Trends That Will ‘Take Over’ in 2024

The beautiful nail trends of 2024 may be divided into two distinct styles: minimalism and maximalism. While not as prominent as hair or makeup trends that are constantly sought after on social media, nails remain a way for us to experiment with ourselves and express our personalities.

Summary:

• 3D Nail Art
• Multicolored Mirror Finish Nails
• Nude Nails
• Ombre Patterns
• Coquette Mani
• 70s Aura Nails
• Peachy Nails for a Sweet Sensation
• Romantic French Manicure
• 90s Grunge Style Nails
• Mix & Match Mani

Looking at the nail trends of 2024, beautiful nail trends are divided into 2 extremes as mentioned above. For maximalism, we often think of combined patterns and bold color palettes. If you prefer minimalism, you may like skin tones, neutrals, and translucent nail polish…

3D Nail Art

Creativity in the nail community will never disappoint us, especially when it comes to 3D nail art. Rianna Basurto, a nail expert from Bellacures, said: “When you are too familiar and bored with French nails or ordinary nail art, 3D nails are an interesting way to add depth to your nails.” She said there are many options for women, from textured nails like wool to floral designs and sparkling crystals.

Multicolored Mirror Finish Nails

Metallic nails are still a beloved trend in 2024, but now they come in more colors. We have previously seen the trend of “cat-eye” mirror finish nails that create a multidimensional effect, combining shiny chrome plating with simpler designs.

Instead of choosing mirrored nails combined with gold or silver, you can paint them in other colors like blue, red, orange, yellow, etc.

Nude Nails

From latte-colored nails to bubble bath hues, nude nails are predicted to be extremely hot trends in 2024. Rianna Basurto, a nail expert from Bellacures, said: “With the rise of minimalist aesthetics, nude nails will become a trend this year. For those who love an elegant look, this nail polish will make your hands the center of attention. By using a thin base coat and a layer of glossy top coat, this is a perfect opportunity to match your mani with your favorite lipstick color.”

Ombre Patterns

Nail expert Eunice Park from Aprés Nail confirms that minimalist nail styles will only become popular from 2024. “People still prefer neat styles and makeup looks. So they are turning to simple, classic nail styles,” she said. Additionally, she loves ombre nails, so she combined them with manicures.

Coquette Mani

If you want to add a feminine touch to your nails, you can experiment with the delicate Coquette mani style. This is also one of the many nail trends in 2024 that follow the Balletcore and Barbiecore styles. This aesthetic aims for femininity and cuteness through pastel pink, cream white colors, and adds delicate details like bows and pearls.

70s Aura Nails

Nail artist Molly Romah from Chillhouse applied a range of colors ranging from skin tones, gold, orange, red, brown, to black. She said this design focuses on layering different colors to create a shimmering effect, where one color develops into different colors.

Peachy Nails for a Sweet Sensation

The color of 2024 has been announced by Pantone as peach, and we will definitely be able to easily spot this juicy color throughout the year. Peach fuzz is a bright blush color that brings a fresh feeling without being too flashy. Since it is a pastel color, it is not too picky and the current minimalist mani trend makes peach color more popular.

Romantic French Manicure

The ‘revival’ of the French nail pattern that we have seen in the past few years has been and is rebuilding a solid position in the nail community and it will become even more popular in 2024. “French nails have always been a classic nail style,” Romah said. – “Currently, we are pursuing a nail style that is deep but must have a timeless, minimalist design.”

90s Grunge Style Nails

If all the above styles are not your taste and you are looking for more maximalist nail colors, then try referring to the grunge style nails from the 90s that are being brought back in 2024. You just need to combine dark nail colors like black, dark blue, dark purple, and dark red.

Mix & Match Mani

Another maximalist nail trend in 2024 that the nail community is ‘crazy’ about is the mix & match mani style. Romah said: “This style is for people who don’t know how to choose between minimalist and maximalist designs. But when pursuing this nail style, you can combine both.”
