‘Euphoria’s’ Manicurist Says We’ll See More Fine Art Nails in 2025

In 2024, we saw a resurgence of nail art with funky takes on French manicures and detailed dainty designs, so we’re excited to see what the new year will bring. We chatted with trendsetter Natalie Minerva, the head nail artist for Euphoria and OPI ambassador, which is set to begin filming again in January. Minerva shared the nail art looks she predicts will be popular in 2025.

A renaissance of sorts may be upon us in the new year. “I kind of foresee more fine art-inspired nails with very detailed painting techniques,” says Minerva. “Think Dali, Monet, Magritte-inspired sets. Ideas rooted in fine art techniques brought to life on nails.”

Additionally, Minerva thinks we’ll see patterned nails make a big comeback this year. “I like the idea of bringing back prints because I find it chic and interesting,” she says. Need inspiration? Minerva shared some snaps of her work that fit these upcoming trends.
