Top Nail Trends to Watch This Year

Trends move fast in nails. Stocking the right colors and mastering a few key techniques keeps your salon in demand.

What clients are asking for

Chrome and glazed-donut finishes, soft "clean girl" neutrals, French tips with a twist, and detailed nail art remain strong. Structured gel manicures for natural-nail health are also on the rise.

Watch social media, but read your own clientele too — the trends that matter most are the ones your regulars are saving and screenshotting.
