Nail Trends to Try: 3 Stunning Looks Inspired by the 2025 Spring/Summer Runway

01/03/2025

The 2025 Spring/Summer runway was a feast for the senses, showcasing bold colors, fresh textures, and whimsical designs that have inspired the latest nail art trends. GlossaryLive’s resident nail artist Lisa Boone has taken these high-fashion moments and translated them into three wearable nail designs perfect for anyone looking to make a statement this upcoming season.

1. Botanical Bliss

Drawing from the floral explosion seen on the runway, Lisa’s first design celebrates the essence of spring. Using a neutral base, she layers intricate hand-painted blooms in fresh and bold designs to carry you through summer. Inspired by the bright florals from Giambattista Valli, Marques Almeida, and Bally, this look is both elegant and playful.

2. Metallic Minimalism

Inspired by the sheer fabrics with metallic patterns seen on the runway, Lisa’s second look features a nude base with layers of glitter and chrome to give the design depth. Metallic, cloud-like patterns float above the skin-colored nails, reflecting the ethereal vibe of Elie Saab and Giorgio Armani’s runways. This style is ideal for those who love edgy, modern aesthetics while keeping their nails versatile enough for daily wear.
