This Spring’s Nail Art Trends Are Anything But Mild

Clear Nails – Like Clear fake Nails – After the first moments of 2018, there is a tendency to sneak into the mix. They were discovered at the Spring 2025 show for Muggler and Christian Cowan. That’s what Kandarek plays with using dual foam.

Creating crystal-free edge nails using gel, acrylic or polygel is similar to the AP level of nail art. However, you can replicate it at home using Clear Press-On, Kandalec says. You can decorate your transparent press-on nails if you like. But the important thing is to leave the free edge of the fake nail without Polish. To reproduce the above appearance, press-on part covering the natural nail bed (we love it) Negligy’s CND Vinylux Weekly Polish). “This covers the glue foam on the nail,” Kandarek says. Then, to get a similar effect, a loose piece of sequin can be applied to the free edge of the nail.

Chunky, kitsch and very creative junk are perhaps Tiktok’s biggest nail art trend. If not yet provided on your page, Junk Nails are the extreme, extreme biggest design. It features 3D elements such as rhinestone, pearls, charms, builder gel, and often many Hello Kitty. And while they may not be the most practical, people are certainly fascinated by the design, how they are made, and how people can wash their hands with them. The term “junk nail” is a 106.5% increase in the term “junk nail” compared to the previous year, according to the popular index of Spate, a proprietary algorithm that analyzes Google Search and Tiktok data.

“The rise of junk nails, which has surged over the past year, is a perfect example of the growth of beauty’s “vacantie feather.” “From the appeal of bags to lipstick cases and bows, consumers are leaning towards small, expressive luxury.”

There are no rules for junk nails. 3D appliques can be applied more stylistically and streamlined or thrown together across the nail in a slap dash method reminiscent of a toddler toy box. However, a little inspiration is always helpful. Yulenny Garcianail artists and owners Munjeka Beauty Salon The Bronx creates an incredible manicure for designers Marc Jacobs and Tiktok star Ryan James. If the charms are a little too much for the atmosphere, skip it. You can paint a different design on each nail to nod to the greatest effect.
