A new year brings a fresh start, a new calendar year, and perhaps most exciting: A new batch of nail trends. While 2023 was all about a return to simplicity with solid nudes and pale baby pinks, 2024 is ushering in an exciting new era. “More is more,” says Glosslab founder Rachel Apfel Glass. “We’re going to be seeing less simplicity and more vibrant shades. We’re moving away from the naked nail and milk bath nail to more vibrant colors and designs.”
In that vein, expect to see 3D embellishments everywhere. You’ll find little bows adorned to the tips of your favorite celebrities manicures. Spy jewelry-adjacent gold buckles and bling popped on top of even the shortest and sleekest sets. Or, see nature-inspired designs (think: mushrooms or stones) topping acrylics. Should the pros predictions hold true, 2024 is going to be an interesting year for nail art.
