Mocha, metallic, and velvet manicures are big this year
—
What’s on the menu for nail art in 2025? We’re so glad you asked. To stay ahead of the curve—and understand the big color and design trends about to happen—we spoke to nail artist and industry expert Mazz Hanna. Hanna has her finger on the pulse of what’s inspiring in the world of nails across tone, texture, and general vibes. Here, we break down the top manicure trends on the rise in 2025 and the polishes you need to get each look. Whether you like your nails short and bold or shaped to an almond tip and glossed with a barely-there pink, you’ll find a manicure trend that will suit your taste, and maybe push you beyond your comfort zone.
At this point, you’ve probably heard about Mocha Mousse, Pantone’s 2025 color of the year. According to Hanna, the warm, creamy brown is a “versatile neutral” that will become a staple in nail salons. “Mocha Mousse feels grounded and comforting,” she explains, “making it a natural fit for a year focused on simplicity and warmth.”
