From classic and simple sets to trendy, opulent manis, were 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
Holly Rhue
If this season has been any indication, glazed donut manicures arent going anywhere next year. But 2024s 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.
Autumn Communications
At Sandy Liang, manicurist Holly Falcone used KIKI Worlds 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.
