A World of Nail Art: Top Trends from 5 Countries
France
Ah! The classic French manicure. It will always be the most iconic and popular, come rain or shine. But these days, we’re seeing a modern twist on a timeless trend – reverse French tips and bold color combinations.
If you aren’t keen on white for this set, take your pick from green, pink, purple, or whatever your heart desires. If the white still does it for you, you’re not alone. It’s a classic, after all.
India
Henna is doing the rounds! Imagine an exquisitely intricate henna design on your nails. These are rich designs inspired by traditional bridal aesthetics. Explore stunning henna nail art designs on Pinterest for some inspo or leave the design up to one of our incredible visionary nail techs.
Japan
This country is known for kawaii (cute) designs, 3D embellishments, and intricate hand-painted details. 3D nails are not just hot in Japan; they’re everywhere now. We reckon we’ll be seeing way more 3D neutral nails incorporating stones, charms, and sculptures in 2025.
And, have you heard of the Japanese Naked Manicure? It’s a renowned, ancient technique that involves buffing nutrients and healthy minerals deep into the nail bed. Expect your nails to be healthy and shiny for up to 3 weeks!
USA
US nail trends are all over the place right now (in the best way). Chrome nails for one, give off a high-shine, mirror-like finish that can be added as a topcoat.
Milky nails are a simple, popular nail color that can elongate the appearance of nails. Barbie nails, a nail trend inspired by the Barbie film. Metallic nails are a bold and modern look that includes chrome tips, foil details, or full metallic finishes.
All are expected to continue trending into 2025.
Russia
Last but not least, Russian nails. Russian manicures are super precise and polished – perfect for the girls after a clean-cut look.
