Nail Trends We’re Currently Crushing On
From playful polka dots to glossy chocolate tones, these are the manicure moments taking over 2025 right now (and how to wear them).
When Refinery29 recently spotlighted polka dots as the “sweetest micro trend” - we weren’t surprised. This playful, retro-inspired style has been one of our most requested looks at AMIRI Studio, landing us #1 in the Refinery29 article. But this not the only nail trend making waves this season.
Whether you’re heading to your next nail appointment or or just browsing for inspo, here’s our studio edit of the nail looks that are trending right now (and how to make them yours).
1.Polka Dots are (obviously) Having Their Moment:
Spotted, quite literally, on runways, celebs, and now Refinery29, the polka dot trend is back and bolder than ever. Whether you love a minimalist neutral dot or want to experiment with colour pops and playful placements, this look is surprisingly versatile and wearable. Bonus: it works on any nail length or shape.
Try it at AMIRI: Opt for a sheer nude base with micro white dots for a clean, elevated finish, or go bold with contrasting tones like cherry red and blush pink.
2. Chocolate Nails are the New Nude:
Move over beige - deep chocolate tones are the new it-girl neutral. Rich, glossy and a little moody, this shade is perfect for cooler months and works beautifully with any outfit (or coffee order).
Think: espresso, cocoa, mocha, basically, your entire winter palette bottled into one ultra-flattering mani.
3. Lemon Drop Nails (Hi, Hailey Bieber)
You’ve seen the glazed donut, and now it’s all about a lemontini-summer. This soft yellow-beige hybrid is trending thanks to Hailey Bieber and we’re here for its creamy, understated glow it gives, perfect for your Euro-summer.
The vibe: warm, milky and polished. Ask for a sheer yellow-toned nude with a high gloss top coat to nail the look.
4. Chrome Still Isn’t Going Anywhere
Metallic finishes are sticking around. From full silver chrome to subtle chrome accents layered over sheer shades, this trend continues to evolve into new, futuristic territory.
Hot tip: try a french tip with a chrome glaze over the top to mix a timeless style with a 2025 upgrade.
5. Micro Details & Fine Nail Art
Minimal doesn’t equate to boring. This year we’re seeing a rise in micro florals, abstract squiggles and negative space designs.
It’s all about the little things: thoughtful, subtle details that elevate a simple mani into something special.
