The Biggest Color Nail Trends for 2020

We’re always on the hunt for the freshest manicure trends to complete your outfit and fit into the upcoming season. Don’t let your nail game get boring – stay stylish with this wide range of popular nail colors and nail art that will be covering the streets and runways for the rest of the year.

Unusual French tips

This decades-old trend from the ‘90s has steadily made a comeback every year, but this time, they’re being done in a completely new style. Think metallic gold French tips, heart-shaped French tips, double-tipped tips, and fine-lined, barely-there renditions. You don’t have to paint the whole nail, but it adds a sense of detailed artistry and endless style combinations.

Python print and cow print

Animal prints aren’t necessarily new to the world of manicures, but cow print and python print are going to be the go-to options that are skyrocketing on search engines in 2020. Kendall Jenner made her cow mani go viral, and last year, zebra was a huge trend for celebs and normal people alike, so this seems like a natural progression. Both are edgy, in completely different ways.

Neutral and muted tones

Neutrals aren’t just a safe choice for those scared to go out of their manicure comfort zone – they never fail to look good, and they never go out of fashion. This year, we’re seeing neutral nails and ballerina tones on the runways for brands like Wang and Coach, and not just for fall. Don’t be scared to experiment with a camel or a light brown tone in the summer rather than the usual bevy of light pinks that we’re used to seeing.

Matte topcoat

Versatile on many manicures, this will be used on all kind of nail art or just a simple red one. You can purchase your own matte topcoat and do DIY, since adding matte to a salon manicure often jacks up the price a bit. Matte feels modern, fresh and clean. It can be worn by any age group and is quite versatile – try red, off-white, or black for timeless romance with a contemporary twist.
