It’s 2025, and we are talking about the Pantone colors of the year, the upcoming fashion trends, and all the celeb gossip! But we at Vogue Vocal know what you are really waiting for! Yes, today we are talking about nail trends 2025, all about the acrylic nails vs gel nails debate, and much more! Last year, we saw some great shifts in nail trends, and you will be glad that 2025 brings back some subtle colors and nail trends that won’t damage your nails.
Why are we in this debate? While acrylic nails are great for those who cannot grow their natural nails long but love the details on their nails, we have seen countless stories on social media where acrylic nails have gone wrong! It does cause potential damage to your natural nails, and we need a better way to sort this out! Valentine’s is also just around the corner, so we know you are looking forward to some nail inspo that would give you a new look! Ah! The hopeless romantics that we are!
Like we said, we have a love-hate relationship with Acrylic Nails! We can’t stop gushing over them when they look oh-so flawless in their full glory! But then comes the dark moment when we must remove the acrylics and face the aftermath of our decisions! We can’t deny the damage they do to our nails! When we debate whether acrylic nails are bad for us, we compare them to other artificial nail products like gel nails. So here’s the disclaimer: It’s not as bad for you as the other alternatives. You don’t need to treat it with UV lights like you have to treat the gel nails. And oh, the disasters we have seen with nail glues ruining the natural luster and shine of the nails!
If you are late to the party, let us introduce acrylic nails for you! Acrylics are a blend of a liquid monomer and a powder polymer. This makes a paste that sticks to your natural nails, and it hardens as it dries, and then you can shape it as you will! Acrylic nails are a popular choice among nail artists as they give a larger blank canvas for all kinds of designs you are looking for! Pick your desired length, and you can ask your nail artist for anything you could have dreamed of! Now, do you want to know if acrylic nails will still be trending in 2025? The answer is yes! It might not be as popular as it used to be, but we will definitely see a lot more of these for that statement look!
We know you aren’t over the gorgeous brown shades yet! Neither are we good news nor is 2025! The Pantone Color of the Year 2025 created quite a buzz, and with Mocha Mousse emerging as the color of the year, we are seeing browns still taking over our mood board this year! Yes, the light natural colors like milk white, mineral, and French tips will also be there, but one trend that will go strong is Cat-Eye Nails!
Brown color in cat eye nail trends will take the front seat as an elite color and trend! Milky whites will be the perfect choice for an everyday oomph! A sheer pink look will also look phenomenal! So let’s categorize it this way if you want neutral shades, then you can go for shades of Mocha Mousse, Mineral white, milky white, sheer pink, butter cream, pearl white, and deep dusty rose.
For the shades of green, we know you have done lots of dark emerald greens in the holiday season and now you want a different look. So whether you pick acrylics, cat eye nails, or gel nails, these shades of green look pretty and refreshing in all forms! Pick between sage green, mint green, pistachio cream, or olive green! These shades will trend for a while in January! And make their comeback later this year too!
Have you started planning for Valentine’s already? We are glad you have that special someone who could be your galentines, but let’s get your nails ready! Vogue Vocal is here to spill the tea on Nail trends in 2025! Let’s blow the dust off those pink and red nail colors! While cherry red nails stole our hearts, we are ready to bring that back for Valentine! You can add DIY details to your nails! And once again, you can have acrylic nails for these special events that can add an oomph to your look! The cute hearts and miniature xoxo patterns can add a cutesy look, but don’t go too overboard as it might give that “pick me girl vibes!”
Keep it subtle and go for pink gradients, cute bows, gems, and romantic glam! We love those love notes, red french tips, and kissy art! If you want a more elaborate effect then you can go for a set of acrylic nails!
While we are on the topic, it is essential to discuss how we can keep our natural nails looking healthy and shiny. As we said earlier, nail glue, gel nails, and acrylic nails can all damage the natural nail coating. So here’s a bit of advice from Vogue Vocal: while DIY tutorials on YouTube may seem very promising, professionals will always do better! Trust the professionals when you want to remove acrylic nails and get a new set. Do not wait till the absolute last second to get a fresh pair; when you see cracks or damage, it’s time to visit your nail salon! Use cuticle oil to keep your nails healthy!
Vogue Vocal believes that Acrylic nails will still be trending in 2025! We will see lots of new nail trends 2025 but self care will be really important! Take care of your nails and then shine on!
