Ready to discover what’s hot? Let’s dive in.
Micro Nail Art – Tiny but Mighty
Less is more - but with a twist. This summer, micro designs like tiny hearts, stars, flowers, and fruits are taking over. Placed on a sheer or nude base, these miniature details give your nails a fresh, playful look without being too bold.
Try with:
-
Semilac 929 Barely Butter as a soft base
-
Hand-painted dots, daisies, or cherries for a fun finish
Perfect for: Everyday wear, casual dates, and minimalist queens.
Abstract Colour Blocking
Big shapes, bold colour contrasts, and irregular patterns - this trend is a playground for creativity. Abstract colour blocking is perfect for mixing neons with pastels or warm with cool tones.
Semilac colour combos to try:
Great for: Fashion-forward looks and statement nails that pop in photos.
Pressed Flowers & Botanical Prints
Nature continues to inspire 2025’s summer nails. From realistic wildflowers to stylised leaves and vines, botanical patterns add romance and softness to any mani.
Use:
-
Delicate florals as accents
-
Dried flower nail stickers over milky bases
-
Earthy or pastel tones for a natural feel
Ideal for: Outdoor weddings, holidays, and dreamy summer days.
Rainbow & Multicolour Magic
Summer is the season to celebrate colour - and rainbow manis are here to stay. Go all out with a different colour on every nail, or try a pastel rainbow French tip for a subtler effect.
Top Semilac shades:
-
Combine Sunny Dots, Disco Inferno, and Confetti Dance
-
Try a pastel fade from pink to lilac to mint
Perfect for: Pride Month, festivals, and anyone who loves to stand out.
Glitter, Foil & Chrome Everything
This season, nails are glowing. Whether you’re adding glitter flakes, chrome powder, or a foil accent, sparkle is a must. But in 2025, it’s all about layering textures and finishes for a luxe feel.
Pro tip:
Layer a chrome powder over a sheer base and top with confetti glitter like Semilac 932 Confetti Dance for a multidimensional shine.
Best for: Summer parties, evening events, and high-glam moments.
Bonus Trend: Mix & Match Nails
Can’t decide on one design? You don’t have to. 2025 is all about individual expression - so go ahead and mix florals, sparkles, colour blocking, and French tips all in one set. Cohesive chaos is the new cool.
