1. Lip Gloss Nails
Keeping it light and easy, lip gloss nails. This is a 2024 nail trend I am looking forward to.
Call me boring if you want but lip gloss nails are so clean and natural, perfect for your everyday look.

Sheer polish with a glossy top coat, and boom you are officially giving “clean girl”, (even if you are on day 5 of dry shampoo).
2. Pastels Please
Soft pastel hues are making a comeback in 2024 and I am here for it!
From muted lavender to baby blue, these dreamy shades offer a subtle yet captivating canvas for various nail art designs.
Experiment with ombre effects, floral patterns, or simply showcase each nail in a different pastel hue for a playful twist.

3. Metallic Magic:
Metallic nails are here to stay, and in 2024, they’re even getting an upgrade!
Explore chrome finishes, holographic effects, and metallic foils that add a futuristic flair to your fingertips.
These eye-catching finishes are perfect for those who want their nails to shimmer and shine. I have personally never felt like I could pull metallics off but I am willing to give them another try this year.
4. Positively Negative Space
Less is more with the negative space trend. Showcase a portion of your natural nail alongside chic and minimalist designs.
From geometric cutouts to abstract lines, negative space nails are the epitome of modern sophistication.
What I like about this trend? Your nails can be super grown out and others will think it’s part of the design lol.
5. Abstract Artistry:
Nail art takes an even more bold and abstract turn in 2024.
Embrace asymmetry, irregular shapes, and vibrant color combinations for a playful and artistic vibe. It’s the perfect trend for those who love to make a statement with their nails.
6. Jewel-Toned Regale
Dive into the richness of jewel tones for a luxurious and opulent look. Deep emerald greens, royal blues, and velvety purples will be stealing the spotlight.
Pair these jewel tones with gold accents for a regal finish that exudes glamour.
I’m looking forward to this nail trend and think it will be my go-to style for events.
7. Naturalistic Nails:
The “less is more” philosophy extends to naturalistic nails. And as busy mamas, we support this message!
Embrace your nails’ natural shape and length, opting for neutral shades or sheer finishes.

8. Mix and Match Mama
Just like our toddlers’ fashion sense, have fun with diversity by mixing and matching different nail art elements.
Combine colors, textures, and patterns on each nail for a playful and eclectic look.
It’s a trend that encourages creativity and self-expression and promotes judgement-free spaces. Mix and match nails are also a great beauty bonding project with your mini!
9. Bold French Manicure:
YES, yes, and more yes!! The classic French manicure gets a bold makeover in 2024.
Experiment with vibrant colors for the tips, or opt for unconventional shapes like zigzags or curves. This modern take on a timeless classic adds a fresh twist to a beloved style.

10. Texture Play:
Texture is taking center stage, with velvety finishes, tactile designs, and even textured 3D elements. Nails as the new fidget toys?
Whether it’s a fuzzy accent or a gritty matte texture, 2024 is all about adding an extra sensory dimension to your nails.
