Manicure trends for Fall 2025

This fall, stylists advise you to abandon stereotypes and experiment boldly.

Floral motifs

Delicate patterns add a touch of femininity and lightness. Even on short pieces, flowers look elegant and harmonious.

Burgundy accent

Rich shades of wine or ripe cherries give the manicure a deep, luxurious look. For a playful touch, leave a few nails nude and decorate them with small cherries.

Cat eye nails

The shimmering glow creates the illusion of volume, even on short nails. Adding glitter to one accent finger will make the look even more festive.

Glossy finish

A classic that always works. A mirror shine polish will emphasize neatness and make even the simplest shape look elegant.

As you can see, short nails are no longer a compromise; they're a fashionable base for stylish looks. The right shade or minimal decoration can make a manicure look just as good as one on long nails.
