Top Nail Art Trends for Spring/Summer 2025 | Light Elegance Gel Nails

As the seasons shift and warmer days approach, it’s time to refresh your nail game with the hottest trends for Spring/Summer 2025! From bold designs to delicate details, this season’s nail art trends are all about creativity, versatility, and self-expression. Here’s what to expect:

1. Micro Florals

Florals are a classic for spring, but 2025 brings a fresh twist: tiny, intricate blooms painted with precision. Think dainty daisies, miniature roses, and clusters of wildflowers. These designs work beautifully on pastel or sheer bases, making them perfect for a soft and feminine look. Combine them with negative space or mix-and-match patterns for a modern vibe.

2. Chrome Accents

Chrome is still reigning supreme, but this year, it’s all about subtle accents. Think chrome tips, swirls, or gradient effects that add just the right amount of shine.

3. Jelly Nails

Translucent “jelly” nails are making a comeback! These playful, see-through nails are perfect for summer fun. Try adding a couple drops of your favorite LE ButterCream colors to a clear Lexy Line or JimmyGel to create your own jelly color! Add a hint of LE Glitter Gel or tiny embellishments like stars or hearts to elevate the look.

4. Abstract Geometrics

Bold shapes and clean lines are taking over nail art this season. Asymmetrical patterns, color-blocking, and graphic designs in contrasting hues. Pair neutrals with pops of bright colors like cobalt blue, fuchsia, or lemon yellow for a striking effect. This trend is perfect for those who love a modern, edgy aesthetic.

5. Pearl Details

Pearls are no longer just for jewelry. This season, they’re making their way onto nails as delicate embellishments, especially for the 2025 wedding and bridal season. From tiny single pearls to intricate designs, these accents add a touch of elegance and sophistication to any manicure. Create custom pearls with Builder from the Lexy Line and decorate with a pearly white such as White Swimsuit ButterCream. Or, adhere your pearls with Skinny JimmyGel! Pair them with sheer or nude bases for a chic, understated look.

6. Gradient Pastels

Ombre designs in soft pastel shades are a staple for spring and summer. This year’s twist? Pairing pastel gradients with a touch of shimmer or glitter. Think dreamy transitions from lavender to mint green or peach to baby blue, perfect for capturing the essence of the season!

7. Bold French Tips

The French manicure gets a bold upgrade for 2025. Vibrant colors, glittery tips, or unexpected shapes like asymmetrical or double lines. Whether you opt for neon shades or metallic finishes, this trend is perfect for giving a classic look a modern edge.

8. Textured Nail Art

3D nail art is taking center stage again this season, with textured designs like raised dots, embossed patterns, and sculpted elements. This tactile trend adds dimension and interest to your nails, making them a true statement accessory.

9. Mix-and-Match Designs

Why settle for one design when you can have them all? Mix-and-match nails allow you to combine different patterns, colors, and textures across your nails. From coordinating color palettes to eclectic combinations, this trend is all about showcasing your personality and creativity.

Spring and Summer 2025 are all about self-expression and pushing boundaries when it comes to nail art. Whether you prefer subtle elegance or bold statements, there’s a trend for everyone this season. So grab your favorite shades or book your salon appointment—it’s time to let your nails do the talking!
