✔ Trend color: soft peach & beige nude.
✔ Technology: micro French, negative space designs.
2. Chrome & metallic finish – futuristic shine
Chrome nails remain the statement of the season.
From silver and gold to rose and blue metallic – this trend exudes power and luxury .
Perfect in combination with evening looks or minimal outfits.
Pro tip from PRO HAAR: “Use a non-sticky top coat for maximum mirror effect.”
3. Aura & glazed donut nails – soft and ethereal
After the clean girl look of 2024, this style continues to dominate.
Soft pastel shades with a pearly sheen create an 'inner glow' effect – as if light is coming from within.

✔ Color combinations: white, pink, lavender, champagne.
4. Textured nail art – velvet, suede & sugar finish

The key? Precision and balance.

Soft gel-effect shades with translucent colours create a fresh, summery look.
Think candy pink, coral and sky blue.
They give a feeling of lightness and youth.
7. Nail layering – combining techniques
The new level of nail art luxury comes from the combination of different layers:
– French met chrome.
– Aura with glitter powder.
– Matte top with metallic line.
Each nail becomes a miniature work of art.
8. Sustainable nail beauty – eco & vegan formulas
More and more salons are choosing vegan, cruelty-free and breathable nail polishes.
These products offer the same shine and durability without harmful chemicals.
PRO HAAR vision: “Trendy is only truly beautiful if it is also conscious.”
