The Valentine’s Day manicure trend report gave us many clues as to which nail designs will be a hit this spring-summer. However, the selection we bring this new season includes unusual novelties such as cat-eye nails or naked nails, passing through the triumph of manicures in pastel shades and revisiting classics of the fall-winter 2024 nail design trends, such as chrome nails.
“I think what will be relevant this spring are colors inspired by nature, starting from soft butter and pastel shades to the most energetic hues, such as bright pink or raspberry. I also think that shades like white, silver or multicoloured confetti will be relevant, bringing freshness and variety to your spring manicure,” says Anna Dobrokhotova, International Nail Instructor at Semilac. Yes, this is the sign you’ve been waiting for to make an appointment with your trusted manicurist today.
1. Cat-eye nails
An iridescent manicure created with metallic nail polish that recreates a feline look. Semilac suggests applying “silver drops only in the area near the cuticle, creating the effect of a ‘princess manicure.’ With a manicure like this, you won’t get an excess of metallic shine, but only a slight shiny accent sparkling under the rays of the spring sun.”

2. Naked Nails
“The beauty industry is constantly advancing, and after many years of flashy and elaborate designs, it is completely natural that the demand for ‘naturalness’ and minimalism is increasing,” says Sofya Khasanova. Thus, the co-founder of Siberia Salon appreciates the Naked Nails trend, which advocates for nails with completely natural nail polish. “Naked nails are very elegant and sophisticated. A manicure done well, without polish, reminds me of those elegant and classic women. In the end, it’s the most traditional manicure,” says Judith Garcia, founder of ManiCure Madrid.
