It may be early, but we already have a good idea of what nail looks will be trending in 2024. Thanks to the spring 2024 runways, celebrity manicures, and trend forecasts from Pinterest Predicts 2024, we already have some of the biggest trends on our radar (and perhaps, even, on our fingertips). Ahead, find the seven nail trends we think will be everywhere this year, plus products that will help you get the looks IRL.
Bows and Pearls
All things coquettish will continue to trend in 2024: “Bow aesthetic” searches increased by 55 percent, according to Pinterest, and this manicure by Tom Bachik for Camila Cabello is going right on our mood boards.
Coca Michelle Rising Nail Art Box
The charms are designed by Meg’s nail artist Coca Michelle, and include interactive lockets, keys, and more you can add to your mani.
Deep Blue
“Peach fuzz” may be the Pantone color of the year, but nails are going a different direction. According to Pinterest, searches for “fun blue nails” increased by 260 percent. Bring this look Tom Bachik created for Jennifer Lopez to your manicurist for inspo.
Zoya Nail Lacquer in Jen
Any blue fits the trend, but this reflective navy will help you emulate JLo’s look at home.
Graphic French Tips
The latest iteration of the French manicure is modern and unexpected, like these semi-transparent tips Julie Kandalec created for the Christian Cowan spring 2024 show.
3-D Texture.
3-D nails have been slowly gaining popularity for a while now, and they’re finally becoming mainstream. Expect transparent jelly finishes to make waves.
The Return of the “Squoval”
Short-nail fans, rejoice: The squoval—that is, a hybrid shape between square and oval nails—is back, and looks great with natural, not-too-long nails.
Molten Metallics
Another look gaining traction for the new year, according to Pinterest? Metallic nail art, which is up 295 percent. Our takeaway? Chrome looks won’t be going anywhere just yet.
essie Nail Lacquer in Penny Talk.
For a quick DIY take that isn’t overly shiny, try this classic rose gold shade from Essie.
