There’s been no shortage of incredible 2025 nail trends so far, but it’s clear that the most dominating aesthetic of the year is the clean girl manicure. Sure, some of us will always love bright hues and eclectic detailing, but it’s ethereally shiny soap nails, soft sweet pea pastels, and Megan Markle’s quietly luxurious Montecito manicure that have been dominating the most-requested styles in salons. However, now that summer is on its way, there’s no denying that there’s a thirst for colourful nails returning. And while it's pared-back butter yellows and pistachio greens that have proven popular so far, pink is having a moment. Enter: strawberry Jell-O nails.
Shiny, sheer and with an unexpected jelly-like finish, this is summer 2025’s interpretation of the classic glossy pink manicure. It walks the line between that fresh, clean colour palette that’s so big right now, but that thick, glossy top coat adds a playful edge. It makes the finished nails look so juicy that you’ll want to take a bite out of them.
