Nail the Look: The 2024 Must-try Nail Trends for Showstopping Manicures!
Chrome Nails 2.0
Nail artist Tara Hayes affirms, 'From the silver chrome hues inspired by Beyonce’s Renaissance tour to Hailey Bieber’s glazed donut nails, the chrome trend is undeniably enduring.' According to Bazaar editors, who noted the chrome nail trend last spring, it's making a bold return in 2024 with a fresh edge. At the LaPointe runway show, celebrity artist Naomi Yasuda elevated the trend by adorning models' silver nails with dazzling gems, creating a distinctive and glamorous look for both their thumbs and ring fingers. Hayes points out that the current chrome craze extends beyond the traditional silver tones, introducing a broader spectrum of colours and various chrome types. As technology advances, we might witness the emergence of even more futuristic metallic shades, redefining the landscape of nail colour trends.
3D Nail Art
2D is so 2023 - say hello to the future! In the New Year, it's all about stepping outside the box (or the nail, in this case). Celeb nail artist Analysee Hernandez predicts the resurgence of encapsulated nails and the growing popularity of 3D additions. Whether it's intricate details, tactile textures, or eye-catching embellishments, 3D nail art is set to redefine your manicure experience. Inspired by Japanese 'Kawaii' aesthetics, expect ultra-feminine palettes and whimsical elements like characters, hearts, gems, and ribbons to add a playful touch to your nail art. Embrace the future—your nails deserve it!
Aura Manis
Y2k enthusiasts, get ready to celebrate: Aura nails are set to continue dominating the trends in 2024. Originating from TikTok's popularity last year, this trend is poised to evolve with the addition of new shades, colour combinations, 3D effects, and rhinestones for an extra touch of glamour. What’s exciting? Now you can achieve these stunning trends at home with our press-on nails without visiting the salons.
Square All The Way
While square nails were the hallmark of the noughties, we've learned from experience that the boxy shape can be high-maintenance, prone to breakages, and snagging. Fast forward twenty-odd years, and the beauty world is now championing the 'soft square' – offering the same classic elegance with fewer pitfalls. It's a win-win evolution.
Celebrity nail artist Iram Shelton believes, "Soft square nails are the most popular shapes, and I reckon it’s going to stay this way. They’re the most flattering nail shapes, and most people can pull off one or the other.”
Nouveau French
French manicures remain a timeless classic, but Sundays Studio CEO and founder Amy Ling Lin believes in adding a unique twist. At Prabal Gurung, modern French styles were elevated with 3-D chrome accents. According to artist Edwards, the intricate details on the tips introduced a free-spirited design element, perfectly aligning with the storyline of a businesswoman's enchanting journey in Mumbai, where she encounters the love of her life.
Block Colours
A timeless classic is making a comeback - a solid wash of colour is back, and it's better than ever.
In the nail art forecast for 2024, there's a notable shift towards simplicity, with a surge in block colour manicures taking centre stage. The era of elaborate hand-painted nail art is making way for more classy and straightforward looks. According to nail artist and educator, Leanne Haycock, with fashion taking a leap back to the early 2000s, the nail world might follow suit, ushering in a resurgence of corner flicks, abstract lines, and possibly even a crackle finish - although the latter's comeback remains uncertain.
In the dynamic realm of beauty and fashion, 2024 marks a departure from excess and a return to the essence of style. The nail trends highlighted in this exploration, from the captivating Chrome Nails 2.0 to the imaginative 3D Nail Art and the continued allure of Aura Manis, encapsulate a spirit of individuality and sophistication. The Soft Square evolution and the Nouveau French reinterpretation showcase a harmonious blend of tradition and contemporary flair. Embrace the elegance of Block Colours or indulge in the convenience of press-on nails – the choices are as diverse as your unique style. Effortlessly try these trends at home with our curated collection of press-on nails, making 2024 a year where fashion becomes a celebration of personal expression, effortlessly blending chic with comfort.
