This is your sign to try out a new color, shape, or length this year.

The creamy, latte-brown color can transcend seasons as a warm neutral.

Barely-there neutral nail colors are being asked for even more than your trusty white Funny Bunny.

The goal is for your nails to look natural, but a little bit better.

Groomed, shiny, and slightly washed in color.

It’s basic, clean, and flattering.

However, there is still room for playing with color in 2025.

Aura nails have been slowly replacing the loud abstract nail designs previously made popular in the past few years.

Instead, aura nails offer a dual-toned nail color scheme that looks more like an illusion.

Moreover, metallics seem to be replacing chrome nails, which reigned supreme this past year.

Round Nails

If short nails are the new long nails, round nails are the neweverything else.

Now, inspired by more natural and easily kept-up nails, round nails offer the perfect shape.

Luckily, round nails aren’t nearly as prone to breaking as shapes with pointy tips or square edges.

For winter and fall, that means going for a dark cherry red.

For spring and summer, choose something more mauve-inspired.
