Trendy Manicure Colors
The year of the Dragon is characterized by an affinity for naturalness and classics, both in fashion in general and in terms of nail color. According to Natalie Minerva, selebrity nail artist and OPI Global Ambassador, we have to choose between rich, natural tones and delicate pastels, which will be the center of attention this year.
Glossy nude
Beautiful nude nails will be the center of attention all year long. Add small accents to the design, such as delicate pearlescent glitter or delicate micro-strasses to give your nails an interesting twist.

Delicate Milk Nails
There is another nail idea for minimalist fans. Neat square nails with a glossy milky coating do not require additional decorations. If you want to make the design more rich, highlight one nail with an original design.

Natural Green Manicures
Green is not only the official color of 2024, but also a trendy shade of nail art. In spring and summer, natural tones from light green to mint and floral motifs (leaves, flowers, trees) will prevail. In fall and winter, dark green nails with abstract and marble prints will be in the trends.

Black Nails with Silver
If gold decor this year will be considered an anti-trend, then the situation with silver is quite different. To give your manicure a stylish and elegant look, use silver rhinestones, glitter (no fanaticism!) or metallic foil.

The Nail Art 2024 Antics That are Still Worth a Shot
Anti-trends are a very controversial concept. Why is bright neon, which was the main summer trend last year, now considered old-school? We are of the opinion that the main thing is not fashion, but comfort and personal preferences. Here are some examples of a few "anti-trends", which in our subjective opinion can look very beautiful.
Gold Nail Designs
A little bit of gold will give any design a luxurious and sophisticated look. Gold nail decoration is perfect for special events and celebrations, so why forget about them?

Long Nails
Long coffin nails are not for everyone. But if you have thin and graceful fingers, such a design will give your hands an even more graceful and feminine look. Moreover, the length always allows you to realize complex and interesting designs.
