3 Top Nail Trends for 2025 & How to DIY

It's the little things that matter most...and having your nails look cute is one of them! Let's go over some top nail trends and my tips for how you can do them at home.

1 – Butterfly nails

You really only need two colors for this look – black or a dark shade, and another color of your choice. For this particular set I did, I sponged several different blues onto my middle and ring finger before drawing the outlines of the wings with a dark blue. This gives the look a bit more dimension.

2 – Strawberry nails

This nail art is so much easier than it looks. All you need is three colors – a red, green, and yellow. Start by painting the red on all your nails, and then draw small triangles at the base of the nail with the green. Make sure the triangles connect at the base so they look like real strawberry leaves – you can do this with a thin liner brush. Lastly, paint small dots with a dotting tool, or if you don't have one, a bobby pin will work perfectly.

3 – Mediterranean tile French tips

This is probably the most difficult look out of the three. It's difficult to master because of the French tip – doing a perfect French looks so easy, but takes so much practice. I would recommend purchasing a very thin liner brush and practicing with it. If you create the shape with the liner brush and fill it in with the bottle brush, it can be easier.

Once you've mastered the French tip, adding the Mediterranean tile elements on the edges is pretty easy. Start by making three very thin lines that connect at the base. You can then put dots on the ends, add dots to the edge of the French tip, and also add bigger dots if you like that look as well.
