Spring is the season of renewal, awakening, variety, and manicures are no exception. This season, minimalism, natural textures, and tactile elements take center stage. Nail artists are blending refined classics with bold, creative statements. Elle O‘zbekiston highlights the top nail trends for spring 2025 that are already taking over Instagram, beauty shoots, and runways.

Nude as an aesthetic of purity 

Beloved minimalism is not going anywhere, but it’s becoming more intentional. The “bare nails” effect, with transparent textures and pastel tones, is timeless. Warm beige, soft pink, creamy bases, milky and ivory shades pair perfectly with the quiet luxury trend, highlighting understated elegance. To add interest to the design, try replacing a glossy finish with a matte one or add a touch of metallic foil.

French manicure reimagined 

It’s impossible to overestimate the beauty of the French manicure or the diversity of its styles: bridal, Hollywood, millennium, colorful, twisted. The French manicure rose to fame 36 years ago in the U.S., thanks to filmmakers looking for a fast and effective way to keep actresses’ nails looking polished during filming. That’s when ORLY invented this technique, which continues to evolve. The French manicure is trending again – but now it’s pushing boundaries. Artists are playing with color (like mint, lavender, lemon), shape (angular tips, double French), and adding thin metallic stripes for a modern twist.

Textures and natural motifs 

Oil-slick patterns and 3D effects look stunning under the warm spring sun. Pay special attention to chrome powder techniques, which create an incredible glow – a favorite of Hailey Bieber fans. Floral patterns, marble swirls, sky-inspired details, and all things connected with nature remain in style. The flora also inspires the color palette: lavender, olive, cherry, and sky-blue hues dominate. Bare nails are also trending, with Japanese manicure techniques replacing traditional polishes and coatings.
