What Nude Nail Styles Dominated the 2025 Runways?

We reviewed what the biggest names in fashion showed us on the runways and made a list of the top nude nail designs predicted to dominate this year. Here they are, fresh from the beauty editors at Vogue, Glamour, and Elle:

French tips

This category includes every minimalist variation you can imagine including micro French, reverse French, sideswipes, outlines, and ombre tips. In other words, French tips are the number one pick for nude nail designs. However, don’t let the “nude” part trick you. Feel free to innovate with pastel, metallic, or black tips on top of that lovely sheer base. Go to town with ombre looks, whether they are Boomer nails with a pale white frosting, delicate tricolor sunsets, or smoky quartz tips.

Barely-there nude nails

Once you find the ideal color that illuminates your skin tone, add a glossy top coat and enjoy the results. This nail style goes with everything, and no, it’s not limited to short nails only. Moreover, milky looks like soap nails were favored by several fashion houses. The sheer pink, peach, and beige bases are more than a safe go-to style. Instead, compare nail brands and you’ll see there is intense competition to come up with the perfect nude shades for everyone.

Negative space nail art

What matters is how you use the space to highlight the sparse embellishments. They can be anything from solitary crystals, tiny hearts, swirls, or geometric designs. Show the world that “less is more.”

Glass nails

Brush a top coat over jelly polish for super shiny glass nails. Give them enough gloss and you’ll get second glances every time.

No one can say that nude nails are boring when there are this many styles to master.

Blush Pink Nails with Iridescent Tips

Tiny Accents

Tiny Accents

Personalize nude nails with a solitary symbol like a lemon, flower, or star. These tiny additions make the manicure memorable and can adapt it to different seasons.

Metallic Highlights

Just because you wear sheer polish and a natural look doesn’t mean you have to give up chrome or glitter. Instead, delicate metallic highlights stand out even more while setting off the perfection of your manicure.

Cat Eye Glass Nails

Show off extra shimmer on your translucent tips by using cat eye polish. The fun part is magically arranging the sparkles with a magnet. Or you can simply create a uniform velvet finish that enhances the entire nail.

Mannequin Nails

Mannequin Nails

It’s kind of a game to find the right color for mannequin nails. No, not for dressing up store displays, but for making your fingers look longer! This nude nail style was famously popularized by J.Lo.

Double Cuff

Double Cuff

Remember this double reverse French look? Well, it’s back, thanks in part to pop art nails. We love it because it gives us a subtle way to wear colors we’ve neglected or try something completely new.

Textured Nails

Textured Nails

You can think of 3D accents as a maximalist fashion, but they can also be delicate and precise. Here the artist has turned the nude base into a touchable garden of pretty flowers and confetti.

By the way, with regards to nail shape, celebrity artists say that oval nails are on the rise while the almond shape continues in style. However, if you’re a fan of square tips, you don’t have to give them up just yet. Try a squoval shape and see what you think. Visit our selection of soft gels to find what you need or sculpt them yourself with acrylic or poly gel.

Ombre Nails

Let’s stretch the definition of “nude” just a bit to get your creative wheels turning. What do you think about the gold tips on these matte ombre nails?

Does Beige Count?

Does Beige Count?

This soft shade is a neutral color, but is it a nude hue? No matter because it looks lovely.

Isn’t it fun how the fine white line creates the illusion of darker tips?

Nude Claws

Nude Claws

If there’s anything we’ve learned, “nude nails” is not one-size-fits-all or one style for everyone. Although we can’t guarantee that this particular look will dominate the runways in 2025, we wouldn’t be surprised if a stylist somewhere is brainstorming something equally remarkable.
