Red is always trending -So, this spring you can expect to see bright shades of red making waves everywhere. Red is a timeless classic, but this season, it will have a new twist as shades like cherry and apple red will add a lively touch to your outfit.

Consider experimenting with different finishes – matte for a sophisticated look or high gloss for a bold look. You can also try mixing and matching fun touches, like sparkly or wavy details, to elevate your manicure.

If you don't want to use pure red nail polish, try using this color for French tips, as an accent color, or for a simple spring design. I recommend staying away from dark reds, as these colors tend to work best in fall or winter while bright red tones are more suitable for the spring trend.

Pointed nails

Long nails or pointed almond nails are hot choices this spring, as “Models walked down the runway wearing silver chrome claws that were sharpened to a dangerously sharp point.“Setting the trend for the season.

These bold and feminine shapes are perfect for anyone looking to add a touch of drama to their look. The spikes also provide a great canvas for any design. Pair these hues with soft neutrals for a timeless look, or choose bold colors to make a real statement.

The versatility of pointy nails means you can customize them to match your outfit, making them a must-try trend for Spring 2025!

Metals

Metallic accents are a great addition to any nail polish for any season, and Spring 2025 is no exception! Whether you want to go full chrome or choose to add metallic details to bright, spring-themed nails, this trend will give you the perfect combination of sophistication and elegance.

“If you want to go on the metallic train but prefer something a little more subtle, try a gold embellishment like the one you saw on PatBo.“Even simple metallic accents can turn short, classic square nails into a bold design – although this is a design option that complements simple and complex nails alike.

Nail jewelry

According to the nail experts at Cosmo, “In 2025, we'll see more gem-encrusted designs taking center stage in our manicures.”

This trend is all about adding jeweled details to create bold, eye-catching manicures. From charms and crystals to other 3D touches, nail jewelry is great for showing off your bold style and fun-loving personality.

I love that you can use these touches to complement any aesthetic, whether you're going for a glamorous or elegant look, and you don't have to shy away from intricate jeweled details when you're creating this fun spring manicure.

Cat's eye

Velvet manicures and cat eyes have been a hot pick over the past couple of years, and (In the words of Cosmo)”I think we'll definitely continue to see a rise in magnetic polishing.“

With their soft, shimmering effect and the endless color combinations you can use to create this look, cat eye nails can range from simple and elegant to bold and seductive.

Cat eye designs can be kept as is for an elegant look, or you can use this magnetic nail polish for animal print nails, French tips, and colorful manicures. Not to mention, this design is a favorite as cute Valentine's Day nails featuring magnetic heart details!

Soap nails

(@sistersinpalette, @savinieleonora_, @matejanova)

Emerging as a mini-trend of the clean girl movement, soap nails are the latest design to watch! I love that soap nails have an easy appeal, and “They manage to feel classic and modern at the same time.”

The key to achieving this look is a combination of well-manicured nails and chic, neutral and ultra-shiny shades. Milky tones, such as baby pink, creamy white, and nude polish, are some of the best color options for this design.

Soapy nails are perfect for adding simple elegance to your outfit. Plus, this is one nail trend you can wear to any occasion – I love this design as a sophisticated work nail, an elegant accessory for your wedding guests' attire, or even for the holidays.

French is playful

“French tips may have been on the back burner lately, but they're back this year and better than ever.”

This season, we can all expect to see bold and colorful French tips at the center of attention. Of the wonderful shades of spring (Think pink, yellow and blue) to metallic colors and animal prints, the options are endless.

This trend really adds a fun twist to this classic style, so don't be afraid to experiment with colors and patterns. The shiny details, jeweled tips and ombre designs are all gorgeous and will easily create a fun, bold French mani for spring.

If you really want a fun, eye-catching look, recreate the design above by @press_reset_nails, featuring a variety of bright colors and animal prints!

These spring nail trends offer something for everyone in 2025! So, whether you're drawn to bold colors, timeless designs, or glamorous touches, you'll definitely be on-trend and ready to stand out this spring.
