Looking for a simple way to boost your mood or manifest your future? Your next manicure just might do the trick—especially since 2024’s trending nail designs are so cool that it’s pretty much impossible not to be inspired.

As for what’s predicted to take over? According to Michelle Nguyen, nail expert and founder and CEO of PLA Nails, the sleek, minimal styles we loved this past year aren’t going anywhere. “It seems like quiet luxury is here to stay for a bit,” she tells Glamour. “Many people are now embracing a sleek, minimalistic look for their nails, and we’re seeing a lot of sheers and pigmented skin tone and nude shades trending for 2024.”

This should come as no surprise, especially after a year filled with bright pink Barbie-inspired nail designs. Our nails—and eyes—need a breather.

That doesn’t mean 2024’s trending nail designs are boring, however. Nguyen adds that while minimalist nail looks are definitely in, loud, vivid colors aren’t gone for good; they’re just evolving. “They can still be seen in more abstract designs and patterns, like bold, bright swirl designs and more-vibrant French tips,” she explains. “French manicures with a sheer base and bold, vivid tip are a look to watch out for, as it blends a classic design with a pop of color.”

Jan Arnold, a nail expert and cofounder and style director of CND, agrees, noting that while 2024 is shifting away from 2023’s over-the-top extremism, the new year’s nail designs will still be spiritual, virtual, and trippy (and therefore, super cool). More specifically, Arnold predicts psychedelic, holographic, and pearlescent finishes to trend for spring, and says summer will be a time to embrace “carefully curated bright, warm and cream palettes, for love, light, and good fortune.”
