These Are the Hottest Nail Trends from New York Fashion Week S/S 2024

From classic and simple sets to trendy, opulent manis, we’re always here for nail inspo. And while we often glean it from our social feeds and the red carpet, twice a year, we get to add New York Fashion Week to the list. Not to say these sources are at all exclusive: Often, runway trends make their way to the ‘gram, and vice-versa.

So which trends will we see all over #NailTok this spring—and which manis already beloved by social media made their way to the catwalk? Read on for the standout manicure trends spotted at New York Fashion Week S/S 2024.

Frosted Finish

If this season has been any indication, glazed donut manicures aren’t going anywhere next year. But 2024’s iteration will feature a more subdued, frosted finish. Backstage at Alice + Olivia, Sundays Studio created frosty, snow-capped manicures that let the nail tips shine through for a subtle, muted French.

At Sandy Liang, manicurist Holly Falcone used KIKI World’s Pretty Nail Graffiti in the shade Pearl ($29) to give the models ethereal nails that are also surprisingly easy to recreate: To get the look, she applied two coats of polish, then randomly placed dots of eyelash adhesive to the nails and fingers. After the glue dried for a few seconds to a tacky texture, she added crystals.

Inspired by designer Patricia Bonaldi’s (AKA PatBo) love of embroidery, celebrity nail artist and KISS brand ambassador Gina Edwards used the brand’s Glazed Donut Nails in Frosted ($12) as a canvas on which to create stunningly detailed accent nails with real lace and crystals.

Magic Chrome-nts

Prabal Gurung hit three mani trends at once: Futuristic silver chrome, sculptural 3D accents, and unusual French tips. Edwards added the chrome-powdered gel accents to the brand’s Bare But Better Nails in Nude Drama ($10).
