An absolute trend: why stars are increasingly choosing "bare nails"

The world of beauty is constantly changing, and manicure trends are no exception. If earlier bright colors, complex designs, and long extended nails were in the top, in 2025, a new approach - naturalness - is increasingly being seen.

More and more celebrities are choosing the so-called "naked" manicure, preferring natural nails with minimal or no coating. Fashion experts told us what trends are relevant today.

Last year, nail art was one of the most striking ways celebrities expressed themselves on the red carpet. From delicate floral motifs to bold 3D designs, the stars couldn't get enough of spectacular manicures. However, now the trends have changed, and a new, minimalist style is coming to the fore. Thus, "nude nails" have officially become a major beauty hit, and many of the most stylish celebrities actively support it.

The term "bare nails" began to gain popularity last spring, when stars appeared at major events such as the Oscars without the usual varnish coating. Clean, natural, and well-groomed nails have become a kind of response to the era of complex and rich nail art.

Emily Ratakowski, Carey Mulligan, and Katie Holmes were among the first to demonstrate this style, preferring natural, healthy, and shiny nails without unnecessary elements.

Although initially the idea of "bare nails" was to completely abandon the coating, the trend has evolved over time. Now it has a more sophisticated version - the so-called mannequin manicure. Its essence lies in the use of ultra-thin transparent or nude varnish, which is as close as possible to the natural skin tone. This creates the effect of well-groomed but almost invisible nails.

Among the celebrity fans of this style are Jennifer Lopez, Dua Lipa, and Angelina Jolie. Their choice demonstrates that naturalness does not mean a lack of care, but rather a sophisticated minimalism that emphasizes natural beauty.

The popularity of this trend is explained not only by aesthetics but also by practicality. A minimalist manicure looks elegant in any situation, suits any style, and does not require constant corrections.

"Bare nails" is a trend that emphasizes naturalness and grooming, making hands look graceful and elegant. And, apparently, it will remain on the list of major beauty hits for a long time.
