One of Edwards’s New York Fashion Week SS25 nail looks that she thinks will be big next year is the smokey quartz effect. Created for the Prabal Gurung show, these nails are elusive yet chic, and just a fun spin to a neutral shade. She used the KISS Bare But Better TruNude Fake Nails in Nude Drama as the base before mixing in a white polish on top for a more sheer look and swishing the shade in a back and forth “S” motion to get that smokey quartz-like look.

A chrome nail is alluring and just all around very cool. For 2025, Edwards says you’ll see many elevate the look with different effects to make it even more mesmerizing, especially in the magnetic chrome realm.

We’ll never be tired of the classic French tips. But for 2025, both Edwards and Bachik say for 2025, it’s all about going all out in color and design. “French manicures will continue to be popular, but with their own 2025 twists,” says Bachik. “For example, the 2025 version might include a line of bright color accenting the entire outside edge of the nail rather than the tip.”
“French nails have evolved from classic to fierce creativity,” adds Edwards. “It has pulled away from your traditional white tip and ventured into vibrant colors, 3D textures, and more.”
