Nail Trends That Will Be Huge in 2024
Minimalist Nails

French Manicures
French Manicures are stealing the spotlight in 2024. They maintain their classic elegance but add modern twists to keep things lively. Try out a micro French manicure to follow the clean aesthetic trend. Or, if you want to take it to the next level, how about 3D-lined chrome French nails? It's like minimalism meets the future.

Red Nails

Natural Beauty Nails
This year will focus on flaunting nails that are effortlessly chic. Think pearly chrome pastels for a springtime vibe fresh as morning dew. If you're a fan of the 'less is more' philosophy, you'll love barely-there manicures like a light pink polish. It’s subtle, with a soft, feminine touch that upgrades your nails.
Remember lip gloss nails? Still riding high in popularity, they are ready for spring and summer. The glossy shimmer looks even nicer with a tiny bit of bling. Sprinkle on a bit of glitter or a few rhinestones, and they are perfect for days when you want that extra hint of sparkle without going overboard.
Ombre Nails
Gradient nails in dreamy colors are a lovely mix of sophistication and fun. It’s subtle yet striking, ideal for those days when you can't decide between being understated and making a statement. Plus, ombre nails can suit any mood or occasion and still steal the show.
LAVIS Poly Extension Gel
Metallics and Shimmers
Chrome nails will absolutely still be a thing in 2024. Frosted and pearly chromes are attracting much attention now because finely textured metallics are hot. Go ahead and do those velvet nails you’ve been craving. Wear them all year, if you like, and change the colors to suit the season.

But hold up, there's another color making waves. Blue started surging in 2023 and continues right on trend this year. So you have plenty of single-color manis to enjoy!
Maximalist and Mix and Match Nails
In 2024, you can also celebrate individuality with maximalist and mix-and-match nails. This eclectic style lets you showcase your favorite patterns and colors across various fingertips. Combine 3D textures, plaids, animal prints, or whatever strikes your fancy. Be bold and have fun!
3D Nail Art
Sweater nails have been trending this winter. It’s a cozy look that’s easy to customize alongside glossy red nails and rhinestones.
Pearls are a gorgeous addition to create a textured mani and are easy to apply at home. We predict more charming coquette manicures because of the popularity of Barbiecore and ballerina nails this past year.

Nail Health Trends in 2024
This year, the spotlight is also on nail health. It’s time to do more than simply give your nails a break.
The focus has shifted towards specialized treatments to repair and fortify natural nails. Experts recommend treatments like the vitamin-infused LAVIS Cuticle Oil for deep hydration and healing. Moreover, the LDS Gel Strengthener enhances nail toughness and improves adhesion while being compatible with all gel polishes. Lastly, NailTek's protein formula is effective for peeling nails by reinforcing and thickening them, with no nail lamp needed. Specialized products like these are revolutionizing nail care and emphasizing the importance of nail health, not just beauty.
Furthermore, if acrylics are wrecking your nails, but you love how customizable they are, you don’t need to sacrifice them. Instead, try Poly Gel, an innovative blend of acrylic powder and gel polish. It’s odorless and easier to apply and remove. Plus, it builds lightweight, durable overlays and extensions that last just as long. Choose from several pre-mixed sheer shades you can coat with gel polish.
So please, take the time this year to show your nails some TLC. Include cuticle oil in your morning and nighttime routines. It’s a simple step that works wonders. And indulge in one of the trendy 2024 barely-there looks for even more benefits. It will give your nails time to grow stronger and longer.
