“Thanks to Pantone’s colour of the year – Mocha Mousse, we can expect to see an array of light, creamy brown shades. This is incredibly subtle and versatile working for all occasions. I recommend Mylee’s ‘Cozy Nights’ Gel Polish, which is the perfect creamy beige with a neutral undertone.”
Glazed Cinnabon Nails

“Glazed donut nails will have an upgrade in 2025. Light pearl undertones will be swapped out for warm, cinnamon-brown bases with a glossy, glazed finish reminiscent of a Cinnamon bun. To get the look, try a polish like Mylee’s Gel Polish in ‘Toffee Apple’, with a coat of ‘For Your Eyes Only’ on top. You could also use ‘Masterpiece’ as a two in one.
Clean Nails

“Less is more for 2025 when it comes to our nails. Clean nails are all about sheer or barely-there polish in shades of ballerina pinks, milky whites, and soft nudes. This year we will see them paired with a high-gloss finish and short lengths for a minimalist aesthetic.”
Plum Nails

“Plum nails will replace reds in 2025 – bringing a rich sophistication to your manis. Look for shades that combine the depth of deep purples with the versatility of neutral tones. Plum nails look great with a high gloss, or matte finish, and make a fantastic base for nail art. I love Mylee’s ‘Deep Purple’ polish.”
Mirror Nails

“Mirror nails are the ultimate statement-making trend, without being over the top. A mirror mani has a high-shine finish that reflects light like metal. The finish is achieved by using chrome powders or metallic polishes, like Mylee’s Cushion Powder Pen, or ‘Access All Areas’ Gel Polish. Mirror nails can be in an array of shades form silver, gold, and rose gold – whatever you fancy.”
Short ‘n’ Sweet

“2025 will be about practicality. I predict a lot of short lengths, especially in a soft square tapered shape. These are super low maintenance and versatile for an everyday mani. We will also continue to see a lot of almond shapes, but the length will go from long to medium, to elongate the fingers without any potential inconvenience.”
Oyster Mani

“Inspired by the sea, iridescent oyster mani’s are all about shimmering, pearlescent reflections that shift with the light, creating an ethereal effect. Play with light pinks, greens and blues to really nail the look.”
Lavender Milk

“This unique, sheer lavender shade teams milky tones with soft pastels, offering a clean, minimalistic style that remains timeless and chic throughout any time of the year. Check out mylee’s ‘Lady Like’ polish for an easy route in.”
