The Best Nail Art Trends You Need to Try

-

There’s something about sitting down to do my nails that feels like a mini therapy session. Just me, my favorite playlist, and a chance to express who I am—without saying a word. If you’re anything like me, then you already know nail art is way more than just decoration… it’s personal.

Lately, I’ve been obsessed (like, Pinterest board full kind of obsessed) with all the gorgeous nail trends taking over 2025. Think dreamy chromes, minimalist French tips, and even 3D charm magic. I’ve tried most of them myself, and let me tell you—they’re even better IRL. So I thought, why not share the ones that made me do a double take?

The Best Nail Art Trends You Need to Try

Here are the nail art looks I can’t stop thinking about—and how you can recreate them at home without booking a pricey salon appointment.

1. Glazed Donut Nails 🍩✨

The vibe: Soft, pearly, clean-girl magic

I never thought I’d be this into a sheer white nail, but then Hailey Bieber came along and changed the game. These nails catch the light just right and look stunning on literally every skin tone.

How I do it at home:
I use a milky white polish as my base, dust a fine chrome powder over the top (a little goes a long way), then seal it with a super shiny gel top coat. The result? Glazed perfection.

🧡 Tip: These look especially dreamy on almond-shaped nails.

2. 3D Nail Charms & Embellishments 💎

The vibe: Extra but make it fashion

Think pearls, rhinestones, tiny hearts… even mini chains. The 3D trend is everywhere right now—and I’ll be honest, it’s a whole vibe.

How I pull it off:
I keep the base simple (a nude or sheer pink works best), then place a few gems using nail glue and tweezers. For everyday wear, I only add a couple on each hand to keep it classy.

💡 Tip: Always finish with a gel top coat so those little charms stay put.

3. Aura Nails 🌈

The vibe: Soft, mystical, dreamy

Aura nails give me that calm, whimsical energy I crave midweek. They blend colors like lavender, blush, and icy blue into this otherworldly ombré that makes me stare at my hands way too long.

How to DIY it:
I either sponge two gel polishes together (a lighter center, deeper edges) or cheat with a portable airbrush pen. Matte top coat adds a velvety finish that’s unreal.

🌟 Tip: Perfect for short or rounded nails—super wearable!

4. Chrome French Tips 💫

The vibe: Classic meets cool

I used to think French tips were a little too safe, but 2025 said “let’s upgrade.” These have all the elegance of a French mani with the futuristic edge of liquid metal.

How I like it:
Start with a sheer nude base, then dab chrome powder only on the tips. A no-wipe top coat locks in that mirror finish.

✨ Tip: Rose gold and silver are gorgeous, but holographic chrome? Chef’s kiss.

5. Velvet Cat Eye Nails 🐾

The vibe: Moody and magical

This trend is like velvet for your fingertips. It shifts under light and gives that luxe, deep dimension that regular polish just can't.

DIY method I swear by:
I apply magnetic gel polish and hover a magnet wand over it before curing. It’s mesmerizing to watch the design form.

🖤 Tip: Jewel tones like emerald and navy bring this look to life.

6. Micro French Manicure 🎀

The vibe: Subtle, dainty, timeless

It’s barely-there nail art—and that’s what makes it stunning. I fell in love with this look during a brunch date when I realized my nails looked polished but not done-up.

How I keep it fresh:
Sheer pink base + a super thin line of white or pastel across the tips = instant elegance. You don’t even need a steady hand—a striping brush does the trick.

🌸 Tip: Swap white for soft lilac or metallic rose for a creative twist.

7. Press-On Nails (But Actually Cute Now!) 💖

The vibe: Lazy girl luxury

Let’s be real—some days I just don’t have the energy. That’s when press-ons save the day. They’ve come a LONG way and look shockingly real.

My favorites:

  • Reusable sets in modern shapes (almond, squoval, short stiletto)

  • Soft matte nudes or classic pinks that go with anything

  • Designs that look custom—without the custom price

🧷 Tip: Use nail glue (not the adhesive tabs) if you want them to last more than a weekend.

Final Thoughts 💭

Nail art in 2025 is seriously next-level. Whether you lean toward understated elegance or full-on glam, there’s a trend here with your name on it. For me, nails are just one more way to practice self-love—and honestly? A well-done mani has the power to shift your whole mood.

So go ahead, paint something beautiful on your fingertips. You deserve it.

💬 Tried any of these trends? I’d love to hear what your favorite look is!

Let’s talk honestly, woman to woman. There are days—ugh, those days—when you catch your reflection and sigh. Your jeans feel tight, your energy’s low, and everything you try on just feels... wrong. The scale might not have budged, but your mood sure did. And somehow, the mirror knows. I’ve been there more times than I can count. Here’s what I’ve learned: feeling “off” in your body isn’t permanent. It’s not your size, not your worth, not even the real you. It’s a passing moment. But the right outfit? That can change your entire vibe in minutes. These are the exact go-to outfit ideas I reach for when I’m bloated, burned out, or just not feeling my best—but still want to look pulled together and feel like myself again . 1. 🖤 The “Everything Feels Tight” Outfit: Black-on-Black with Texture Black is magic. But the secret is texture —not just tossing on basic leggings and a tee. Try this combo: Flowy black palazzo pants Ribbed or wrap black top (something that defines your shape, gent...

Let’s talk honestly for a second. How many times have you bought a lip liner that looked amazing in the store… only to get home, try it on, and realize it either made you look washed out or like you’d drawn your lips with a crayon? Been there. Way too many times. The truth is, finding the right lip liner is a little like dating — you’re looking for one that just gets you . It needs to blend in , enhance , and stay through life’s ups and downs (okay, or at least your second coffee). Luckily, there are a few holy grail liners that do all of the above — no matter your skin tone, lipstick shade, or even if you’re going bare-faced. So let’s break it down. 💄 What Actually Makes a Lip Liner “Universal”? We throw that word around a lot, but here’s what I really mean when I say these go with everything: They mimic or gently boost your natural lip tone They’re neither too pink nor too brown — they sit right in the middle They’re smooth, not dry or draggy They stay put , even after...
