In the world of beauty, nails have become one of the most expressive fashion statements. What used to be a simple grooming habit has now evolved into an entire art form — bold colours, textured finishes, intricate hand-painted designs and even tiny 3D embellishments. At Ashtamudi Beauty Salon, we’ve seen a tremendous rise in clients wanting unique nail looks that reflect personality, style and current trends. Whether you’re preparing for a big event or just want to upgrade your everyday look, 2025 is full of exciting nail innovations you can try.
In this blog, we look at the latest nail art and creative manicure/pedicure trends that are taking over beauty salons worldwide — including what’s popular right now, what suits different personalities, and why professional care is essential for nail health.
Soft Minimalist Nail Art – Clean, Elegant and Timeless
Minimalist styles continue to dominate in 2025 because they offer a clean, modern and effortlessly classy finish. Think:
- Soft beige, nude or pastel colours
- Ultra-thin white or black lines
- Tiny minimalist motifs (stars, dots, tiny hearts)
These nails match any outfit and are perfect for women who prefer a fresh, understated look. At Ashtamudi Beauty Salon, our nail experts use high-quality polishes that offer flawless shine and long-lasting wear, keeping your minimal look perfect for weeks.
2. Chrome Nails and Metallic Magic
Chrome nails are back — and hotter than ever. Their mirror-like shine adds instant glamour, making them a favourite for weddings, events and festive occasions.
Popular chrome shades in 2025 include:
- Rose gold
- Silver platinum
- Holographic rainbow chrome
- Deep metallic blue
- Soft lavender chrome
What makes chrome nails special is their versatility — whether you’re wearing a saree, western outfit or party dress, the metallic finish adds luxury to your overall look.
3. 3D Nail Art – The Trend for the Bold and Creative
If you love making a statement, 3D nail art is a trend you should try at least once.
Popular 3D elements include:
- Pearls
- Crystals
- Mini flowers
- Artistic metal pieces
- Textured matte-plus-gloss combinations
These nails are trending globally because they create a jewellery-like effect. For brides, this trend is especially popular — adding a touch of drama without needing many accessories.
At Ashtamudi Beauty Salon, our trained nail artists ensure 3D nails are placed securely, comfortably and elegantly without feeling heavy or bulky.
4. Korean Glass Nails – Soft, Glossy, Beautiful
K-Beauty continues to influence global beauty, and nail art is no exception. Korean glass nails are known for:
- Ultra-transparent shine
- Soft pastel colours
- Crystal effects
- Smooth jelly-finish tips
This trend is perfect for clients who want something cute, feminine and fresh. The glossy finish looks youthful and suits all skin tones beautifully.
5. French Manicure Reimagined
The classic French manicure has received a major upgrade in 2025. No longer limited to white tips, salons are experimenting with:
- Coloured French tips
- Reverse French designs
- Glitter edge French
- Deep smile lines for a more dramatic look
- Minimalist geometric French
This style is ideal for working professionals because it combines classiness with modern flair.
6. Toxin-Free, Clean Nail Care
With more people becoming health-conscious, toxin-free nail care is a big trend. Clients now actively look for:
- Non-toxic, skin-safe nail polishes
- Vegan & cruelty-free nail products
- Strengthening serums
- Nourishing cuticle oils
- Protective top coats
At Ashtamudi Beauty Salon, we use high-quality, safe polishes that are gentle on nails and ideal even for sensitive skin. This ensures beauty does not come at the cost of nail health.
7. Pedicure Trends – More Than Just Foot Care
Pedicures in 2025 are not only about clean nails — they focus on relaxation, hygiene and foot wellness.
Top trending pedicure options include:
- Hydrating spa pedicures
- Crystal or salt soak pedicures
- Jelly pedicures for soft, cushioned comfort
- Aromatherapy pedicures
- Glossy gel pedicures that last over 4 weeks
With Kerala’s humid climate, professional pedicures help prevent dryness, rough heels and fungal issues keeping your feet fresh, soft and beautiful.
