Keeping an eye on emerging trends is one of my favorite things to do as a beauty journalist, but when it comes to nail trends things move fast. January hasn’t even drawn to a close yet and already my social feeds are awash with so many fresh manicure ideas to inspire my 2025 salon trips.
For the minimalists among us, “soap nails” are cementing themselves as the understated manicure of choice, while the more unexpected scrapbook nails will appeal to those who like their set to resemble a work of art.
However, there’s one micro trend in particular that is currently unfolding as one to watch for the year ahead. Soft, shimmery and oh-so-pretty, we’re coining this pared-back take on glittery nails the “pixie dust” manicure — and, trust me, this one is so good I’d hazard a guess that it will stick around all year long.
