2025 Nail Trends To Try This January
Nail designs are more than an accessory for 2025—they're the main event.
Nail art has officially taken center stage, and 2025 promises to be a year of bold, unapologetic expression. Celebrities and nail technicians alike are embracing maximalist nails, proving that your manicure can be as much of a statement piece as your outfit. From luxury runways to viral social media posts, there is room for endless inspiration. If you’re looking to switch up your nail game, this is your year. Whether you prefer subtle sophistication or eye-catching drama, there’s a 2025 nail trend waiting to reflect your unique style.
One trend dominating the scene is XL stiletto nails. These long, pointed masterpieces are favored by both designers and stars, including Wicked star Cynthia Erivo and pop princess Chappell Roan, who have made them their go-to look for events. Perfect for those who love an edgy, high-fashion aesthetic, these nails demand attention and exude confidence. Don't worry about the logistics of the insanely long nails, just embrace them.
For those craving something shiny, full metal nails and chrome finishes are taking over. These luminous, reflective styles were spotted all over the 2025 runways from Libertine to Theophilio, bringing an ultra-modern edge to nail designs. Not into flashy? No worries. The beauty of 2025’s nail trends is their versatility. For minimalists, understated designs like soapy nails or barely-there nudes are still very much in vogue. On the other hand, maximalists can embrace bold patterns, 3D embellishments, and icy colors. No matter your personality or style, the year’s trends ensure that your nails can be a seamless extension of your self-expression.
