Summer 2024 Nail Trends Sweep Europe and the US

European nail artists in Milan and London say the season is dominated by six key styles, including sheer "chiffon" shades that give a glossy, barely‑there look, and darker "summer goth" black nails popularized by celebrities such as Dua Lipa. They note a focus on immaculate preparation, texture and high‑quality finishes, with shorter, natural shapes favored over the longer, bolder designs seen in the United States.

In the US, trend‑setters point to bold colour choices and playful themes. Fruit‑inspired designs, from watermelon to citrus, and three‑dimensional floral art are highlighted as summer‑season favourites, alongside a vivid tomato‑red shade championed by Kylie Jenner. Brands such as Essie are cited for colors like "Like it Loud" that capture the vibrant, experimental spirit of the season.
