Nail trends 2026
The most requested finishes this year, explained from the salon. They work over semi-permanent manicure, BIAB or Russian manicure with BIAB. You can ask for them as a main design or as an add-on at your next appointment.
Magnetic · Velvet
Cat eye nails
Magnetic effect, shimmer in movement and depth. One of the star trends of the year, with velvet as the strongest variant.
Pearlescent · Glass
Glazed donut nails
Pearlescent translucent finish like glass, achieved by buffing white chrome powder over a semi-permanent base. The favourite of the modern bridal look.
Iridescent · Viral
Aurora nails
Iridescent reflections that change colour with the light, like a miniature aurora borealis. One of the most viral trends of the year.
Mirror finish · Metallic
Chrome nails
Mirror-like metallic finish in silver, gold, champagne or copper. The technical base of many other trend finishes.
Reverse french · Modern classic
Reverse french nails
The classic french flipped: the line sits at the base of the nail, not at the tip. Modern version of the most classic design.
Gradient · Natural
Babyboomer nails
The classic french gradient in modern version. Soft transition between nude and white, perfect for a long-lasting natural look.
Old money · Your hands but better
Quiet Luxury
The "silent luxury": nude tones, short length, no nail art. The "your hands but better" aesthetic confirmed as the top trend of the year.
