A bit of fruity fabulousness, some blindly-glittery manicures, and nails that could rival the classics we all know. Following the step away from acrylic nails, many have been swapping out their go-to nail style for something a bit more healthy for the natural nail. This shift has translated into wild pops of color or nails that are even compared to a cat’s eye! All in all, 2025 has been bringing in some of the most cute nail trends that everyone should try out, including you. Here are the hottest nail trends this year has to offer!
Fruit Peel Nails

If you’re into a short nail that gives all of the vibes for summer, then fruit peel nails are going to be your best friend going forward! The trendy nails, designed by nail.nuha, went viral on Instagram for their fresh take on fruity-styled manicures. Between purplish figs or pinky peaches, there’s no room for discussion on why you should try these out. We totally understand the hype!

Chrome, Chrome, Chrome

If you’re a girlie who wants more length and some glimmer, this 2025 trend is for you! Chrome nails have similarly rose to fame in the recent years thanks to Hailey Bieber, who showcased the absolutely gorgeous design. Pick a pink base for a glittery ballerina vibe or try out other light colors for the same effect!
A Cat’s Eye But On Your Hand
Cat-eye nails, also known as glass nails, give that element of shine while maintaining the classic energy of a traditional manicure. Short, long, or medium, whatever your go-to length may be, you can do a cat-eye design on pretty much any nail type! With fall coming up, throw in a pop of red or dark green for a vampy nail perfect for the season.

The New French Tip

Excuse me, but what would a nail trend be without our beloved French tip? As the nail-lovers have been transitioning away from acrylics, many have been exchanging their fave design out for a new take on the French tip. Instead of the white tips we’ve all grown accustomed to, nail techs have begun to spice up French tips with different colors and designs. Leopard print? Done. Bright pink? You bet. The best part about this? Grow your nails out to your heart’s content. Any length works!
