Spring 2025: Embrace Renewal and Refined Creativity

Spring is the perfect time to refresh your style with designs that celebrate new beginnings and delicate beauty. Here’s how you can incorporate these trends into your look:

Milky “Clean Girl” Neutrals (Soap Nails)

Imagine starting your day with a look that exudes effortless elegance. These short, squoval nails in glossy, milky nude or soft, sheer pink tones are more than just a style—they’re a statement of refined simplicity.

• Advice for You: If you prefer a low-maintenance yet polished appearance, these nails are ideal. They’re versatile enough for both a busy day at work and a relaxed weekend brunch. At Viet Nail Studio, our nail techs ensure your manicure is impeccably executed, leaving you with a look that’s as natural as it is refined.

Pastel Hues & Springtime Colours

Pastels are synonymous with spring, and this year they’re being reinvented with a vibrant twist. Think mint greens, pistachio, and soft lilacs—each shade evoking the freshness of the season. For the daring, “Skittle Nails,” where every nail boasts a different pastel, offers a playful yet harmonious look.

• Advice for You: Consider your wardrobe and personal style when selecting your pastel tones. If you love coordinating your nails with your outfits, opting for a uniform pastel may be best. However, if you’re ready to experiment and let your personality shine, try mixing different shades for an eye-catching, fun effect. Our experts are here to help you find the perfect balance.

  
  

Floral Nail Art

Flowers in bloom evoke the essence of spring. Whether you’re drawn to delicate daisies or prefer bold, retro floral designs, incorporating nature into your nails can add a touch of whimsy and elegance.

• Advice for You: Think about the size and placement of the floral accents. For a subtle look, opt for one or two accent flowers per nail. If you’re aiming for drama, a full floral pattern can make a powerful statement. We’ll work with you to customize the design to ensure it complements your nail shape and personal style.

  
  

Reinvented French Manicures

The classic French manicure gets a modern makeover this spring with micro-tips, vibrant edge colours, or even a reverse design. This twist on a timeless look adds a contemporary edge without sacrificing sophistication.

• Advice for You: If you’re a fan of the traditional French manicure but want something a little different, this trend is perfect. Discuss with our nail technicians how bold or subtle you’d like the contrast to be. They can suggest options that align with your daily needs—whether it’s for a professional setting or a night out.

  
  

Mismatched & Artsy Nails

For those who see their nails as a canvas for self-expression, mismatched and artsy designs offer endless possibilities. Each nail has the ability to convey a unique story, resulting in a truly unique look.

• Advice for You: This trend is all about creativity. If you love experimenting with colours and designs, consider using your nails to showcase different patterns or textures. Our team is experienced in executing intricate designs that are both balanced and visually striking, ensuring that even an eclectic mix looks harmonious on your hands.

  
  

Summer 2025: Make a Bold Statement with Vibrant Energy

As the days heat up, your nails can serve as the ultimate accessory for expressing your bold, confident self. These summer trends are designed to capture attention and reflect the energy of the season:

Bold Colours & Neon Pop

Summer is the season for high-impact colours. Long coffin nails in vivid hues—from cobalt blue to acid green—are designed to stand out and complement your vibrant lifestyle.

• Advice for You: If you love making a statement, consider how bold colours can enhance your overall look. Whether you’re headed to a music festival or a summer party, these nails are perfect for adding a pop of color that radiates confidence. Our specialists can guide you in choosing shades that not only look amazing but also align with your skin tone and personal flair.

Chrome & Metallic Shine

For a futuristic and edgy appearance, chrome finishes, cat-eye polishes, and metallic accents are in vogue. These designs, especially on medium coffin or ballerina shapes, offer a sleek and modern aesthetic.

• Advice for You: Metallics can be striking when balanced correctly. If you’re new to this trend, our experts can help you decide whether a full chrome look or subtle metallic accents better suit your style. These finishes are perfect for those who love a bit of extra shine and want to add a touch of glamour to their everyday look.

  
  

Animal Prints & Graphic Patterns

Bring out your wild side with animal prints and graphic patterns that add a dynamic twist to your summer nails. From leopard to zebra prints, these designs can be used as accents or featured across the entire set.

• Advice for You: Consider incorporating animal prints as a bold accent rather than overwhelming your look. For instance, pairing a single statement nail with more neutral designs can create a balanced yet daring effect. We’ll work with you to ensure the pattern and placement accentuate your hand’s natural beauty.

  
  

3D Embellishments & Nail Jewellery

Elevate your nails to a new level of luxury with 3D embellishments. Adding rhinestones, pearls, or charms can transform your manicure into a dazzling accessory—ideal for special occasions such as weddings, festivals, or glamorous nights out.

• Advice for You: When planning for a special event, think about how these embellishments will interact with your outfit and overall style. Whether you opt for a few strategically placed accents or an all-out decorative design, our technicians will ensure your nails look both elegant and striking, making you the center of attention.
