Seasonal Nail Trends to Try This Year

Nail trends evolve with the seasons, and at McDonogh Nail & Spa we love helping our clients stay on top of the latest styles. Here is your guide to the hottest nail trends for every season this year.
Spring is all about renewal and fresh starts. Soft pastels like lavender, mint green, and blush pink are perennial spring favorites. This year, the trend is leaning toward glazed or dewy finishes that give nails a luminous, healthy glow. Our Gel Manicure at $44 is perfect for achieving that smooth, glossy spring look. Floral nail art, from tiny daisies to abstract botanical designs, adds a seasonal touch.
Summer brings bolder choices. Neon brights, tropical oranges, and coral shades dominate the summer palette. Chrome and metallic finishes are hugely popular for summer nights out. Our Ombre Full Set at $75 is a stunning summer choice, with gradient effects in sunset-inspired color combinations. Think hot pink fading into coral, or turquoise melting into white.
Fall is when nail art gets rich and moody. Deep burgundies, forest greens, burnt oranges, and chocolate browns create a sophisticated autumn palette. Matte finishes are particularly striking with fall colors. Our Dipping Powder service at $55 offers excellent color saturation for these deeper shades. Tortoiseshell patterns and abstract earth-tone designs are trending for fall.
Winter calls for glamour and sparkle. Jewel tones like emerald, sapphire, and ruby create a luxurious look perfect for holiday parties. Glitter accents, foil details, and snowflake nail art add festive flair. Our Acrylic w/ Gel Full Set at $60 provides a strong foundation for elaborate winter nail designs.
Beyond seasonal colors, several year-round trends continue to dominate. French manicures with a modern twist using colored tips instead of white are everywhere. Minimalist nail art with clean lines and negative space designs appeals to those who prefer understated elegance.
The best part about trends is that they are meant to inspire, not dictate. Our technicians at McDonogh Nail & Spa can customize any trend to match your personal style. Bring your inspiration photos and we will create something uniquely you.
Stay trendy all year long with McDonogh Nail & Spa.
