8 Finest London Trend Week 2024 Nail Tendencies to Copy

1. Graphic Tips

Seen at: Helen Anthony

The red tips at Helen Anthony SS25 were proof that graphic nail art is still thriving. This unique take on a French manicure combines your typical French tip with a half-moon design on each side of the nail for a retro, quirky finish.

Get the Look: Replicate the look with nude nail polish on the base—Essie Spin the Bottle ($12) works for this perfectly— and a bright red with orange undertones like OPI A Red-vival City ($12) is spot-on for the art. You can also opt for one of the other colors featured in the show—like a chocolate brown or bright green. Pro tip: use a fine detailing brush like one found in this Liner Brush Nail Art Set ($10) to master the shapes and lines.

2. Glossy Blush

Seen at: DiPetsa

Another set we loved was this look at DiPetsa SS25 which featured glossy blush nails. This look can be recreated on any nail shape, whether you prefer round, square, or stiletto.

Get the Look: Use a blush base polish like OPI Stop It I’m Blushing ($12) and apply a glossy top coat like the Londowntown High Shine Glossy Top Coat Nail Polish ($20).

3. Powder Blues

Seen at: Paul Costelloe

Powder blue polish made a statement at Paul Costelloe SS25 and nicely complimented the pastel-hued collection. This color blue is perfect for Spring or any time of year and we love that it suits a variety of skin tones.

Get the Look: OPI *Verified* ($12) is the ultimate powdery blue for replicating the look.

4. Flipped Tip

Seen at: Chet Lo

The nails at Chet Lo SS25 truly flipped nail art on its head, and it’s like nothing like we’ve ever seen before. The nail is a flipped acrylic placed upside down, with its cuticle end adhered to the very tip of the model’s real nail. While we’re not rushing to recreate the look exactly, we do love the creativity.

Get the Look: Use a press-on nail like the Kiss imPRESS No Glue Mani ($6) and apply each nail upside down if you’re feeling bold. Otherwise, we recommend getting inspired by the nail colors from this show and opting for a cobalt blue like Essie Push Play ($8), or a silvery chrome pick like Londontown Coconut Crush ($16).

5. Pink Chrome Piercing

Seen at: Sinead Gorey

The variety of nails at Sinead Gorey SS25 had us reeling, but we especially loved this light pink chrome set with gold hoops on each pinky. Nail piercings paired with the reflective pink polish gave this set the ultimate blend of elegant and edgy.

Get the Look: PSA: Do not pierce your own nails at home, but if you want to get the look, opt for a press-on extension that you can punch a small hole into to add a charm or hoop. For color, the TFT Light Pink Polish ($7) can get you a similar shiny pink nail at home.

6. Studded Nails

Seen at: Chopova Lowena

Nail artist Ella Vivii took studded nails to the next level at Chopova Lowena SS25. The sets were either frosty white, or jet black, and both were decked out in tiny silver and gold studs and charms.

Get the Look: Zoya Lucy ($20) is the perfect creamy white for recreating the look, or OPI Black Onyx for a jet black ($12). For the studs we love this 3D Mixed Nail Art Studs Set ($6) that you can apply with a tweezer to get the look.

7. Going Neutral

Seen at: Huishan Zhang

If you love a chic, neutral nail, get inspired by this glossy nude nail look seen at Huishan Zhang SS25. The nail polish color is a nice light brown that reads elevated and put-together for just about any occasion.

Get the Look: Deborah Lippmann Fashion ($20) is the perfect nude-brown for getting the look.

8. Dripping Diamonds

Seen at: Nensi Dojaka

Nail artist Ama Quashie stunned at Nensi Dojaka SS25 with this dripping diamond “petal drop” nail look. The base is a silky jet black, complete with 3D crystal charms for major dimension and lots of sparkle.

Get the Look: Start with a shiny black polish like Butter London True Black ($18), and add on diamond rhinestones of various shapes like the ones found in this Crystal White Nail Art Rhinestone Nail Charms Kit ($6).
