6 Nail Trends Straight from Fashion Week

If you’re a huge fan of fashion (duh, of course you are), then your eyes were probably glued to your computer screen as you obsessively calmly clicked through each of last week’s Fashion Week collections, drooling over next season’s trends. But while the clothes were certainly the stars of the shows, the beauty game was strong — like, really strong. We all loved the wet slicked-back hair and over-dramatic smudgy black eyeliner style that dominated the runways, and there was something extra magical when it came to next season’s nails. From chromatic metallics to simplistic negative-space manis, there was something for everyone. Here are the top six nail trends that rocked the runways.

1. Chromat: Forget what you were taught as a child — it’s time to draw outside the lines. Athleisure label Chromat showcased pared-down nails with clean geometric shapes drawn just beyond the cuticle. Because painting on your actual nails is so last season. (Photo via Monica Schipper/Getty)

2. Jasmine Chong: Designer Jasmine Chong embellished nails with tiny jewels, glitter or polish just below the nail bed for an artsy take on a minimalist manicure. Looks like it’s time to think outside the box — err, nail — next season. (Photo via Robin Marchant/Getty)

Negative Space

3. Chromat: Nothing is cooler than a negative space mani, and Chromat capitalized on the go-to trend. Try working with a peachy polish for a modern twist. (Photo via Monica Schipper/Getty)

4. Novis: Check out the charming details of the dual-tone, negative-space nail featured at the Novis show. From the asymmetrical placement to the alternating tones, this style couldn’t be fresher for spring.

5. Michelle Helene: This icy interpretation of the popular manicure made us do a double take. With metallic foil cuticles and an opalescent finish, designer Michelle Helene truly put her own stamp on the look. (Photo via Arun Nevader/Getty)

OTT Nail Art

6. Libertine: Just when you thought nail art was dead, it came back crazier than ever. Fashion designers like Gypsy Sport, Christian Siriano and Libertine (above) all had their models in bold, funky nail designs to complement their RTW ensembles. Libertine’s nails incorporated pics of puppies, strands of hair and loads of colorful bubbles — anything but your average mani. (Photo via Jennifer Graylock/Getty)

7. Alice and Olivia: Trendsetter and all-around cool girl Stacey Bendet had her models sporting various iterations of a botanical nail motif to tie in with her over-the-top outdoor theme. While some were more functional than others, all the designs had a bright and bold personality to inspire your next trip to the nail salon. (Photo via Jennifer Graylock/Getty)

Nude Nails

8. Taoray Wang: On the opposite side of the spectrum are the posh and proper nails in shades of nude. Take note from Taoray Wang and rock this simple, layered look for your night out, or get inspired for your upcoming fall nuptials. (Photo via Monica Schipper/Getty)

9. Creatures of the Wind: Keep it simple, keep it classy — at least that was the motto for models at the Creatures of the Wind show, who wore modern nude-colored nails while they walked the runway. Take a cue from this look and use a polish that’s just one or two shades different from your own skin tone. (Photo via Cindy Ord/Getty)

Color Block

10. Rebecca Minkoff: Why wear one color when you can rock two (or three!) at the same time? Inspired by a Valentine’s Day love letter, designer Rebecca Minkoff donned her models’ nails in sweet combos of pinks and reds. (Photo via Anna Webber/Getty)

11. Desigual: This look is perfect for ladies with long nails and a sense of humor. Quirky design house Desigual had their models rock a triple-layered color to complement their Snapchat filter-inspired makeup. Best combo ever? Yes, yes, triple yes. (Photo via by Arun Nevader/Getty)

Metallic

12. 3.1 Phillip Lim: If you love look-at-me styles, then this trend is for you. Metallic nails were a major highlight on the runways this year, and we loved every minute of it. With chrome nails that featured hints of red and cobalt, Phillip Lim took this trend from outlandish to oh-so wearable. (Photo by Robin Marchant/Getty)

13. Michelle Helene: The key to rocking a flashy mani? Keep your nails super short and simple to let your reflective style take center stage. (Photo by Vivien Killilea/Getty)

Vision boards are one of the most effective tools that you can use to build your business, your life, and your hobbies and I'm so excited to get my 2025 vision board going! Thoughtfully done, this process brings shape to dreams and emotions you're aiming for in the weeks and months ahead. Simply going through the process can bring clarity to your thinking, focus to your plans, and can leave you with a curated visual + tangible reminder of the life you want to build. But not only is the finished product fun to look at — the process is fun to make!

Here's how to get started to create your own vision board for 2025.

SUPPLIES

Brit + Co

Surface

I love white or black foam core board for creating vision boards. There are LOADS of sizes and options for this, so have fun picking the right one for you.

Adhesive

Glue sticks, Washi tape or pushpins work equally well. I prefer something non-permanent so I can revise my board as the year moves along.

Cutting tools

X-acto knife, ruler, scissors or a paper cutter are all great tools to have on hand.

Images

Magazines, old books, photographs all work well.

Set the vibe

A good playlist to inspire creative vibes, a big work area (floors work great for this!) and light some candles to keep it dreamy and inspiring.

Nosh and nourish

A cheese board, some wine, and good chocolate. All things are better with chocolate, right?

GET TO MAKING

Brit + Co

Set an intention. Or many.

I like to make one vision board for my entire world — work, family, love, hobbies, wellness, travel. Others prefer to have a separate vision board for each area of their life, or to only focus on one for the entire year. Let your intuition guide you here and decide the best approach for you. Really think about what you want to accomplish in the coming year. What emotions do you want to feel more of? Less of? How do you want to live?

You might find it best to journal about this prior to starting the image-gathering process to really bring clarity to mind. This intentional thinking will be important as you select images for your 2025 vision board. Try some Winter Journal Prompts For Improving Your Relationship or go for Emma Watson's Daily Journal Prompts!

Brit + Co

Curate images.

Find images that support your intention, and the life you want to build in the year ahead. Images should not just portray the WHAT of what you want, but also the EMOTION. The colors, people, and objects that show up on your final board should bring a smile to your face. I collect LOTS of images in a Pinterest board when I'm in the intention setting phase to have an abundance to choose from as I start my planning. Great resources for images are favorite blogs, Pinterest, Instagram, and Unsplash — really any image that speaks to you is vision board worthy.

Brit + Co

Build your 2025 vision board.

A reminder, this board is JUST FOR YOU so arrange the images in a way that speaks to your soul. You could organize each area by focus (work or home, for example.) Or let the colors of the images guide you in how they are arranged. There is no right or wrong way to do this — so just arrange and rearrange until you find what works for you. Stick the images to your surface once you've found a layout that you love.

Brit + Co

Find a home for your board.

Pick a spot in your home or workspace that you'll see your board regularly. The magic of this work comes in not just the building, but the visual reminder it gives you to give your time, energy, and resources to the things that support the life you want to build.

Brit + Co

Review often.

I'm a big fan of viewing these boards as evolving pieces of work. Take time to review it often and rearrange, add, or remove as needed to keep it as aspirational and inspiring as you need to move you toward your goals.

Giving yourself space, time, and a creative outlet to dream about your future is such a gift. One that can bring more positivity, intention, and purpose to your year ahead.

October 31 may seem light-years away, but if last-minute Halloween costumes stress you out, then you know it’s never too early to start planning for a killer getup. Makeup and hair are a given, but the perfect costume isn’t complete without an amazing mani. This year we’ve pulled out all the stops with a mega-roundup of the scariest, spookiest, and all-around amazing Halloween nails ever. From black-cat French tips to pumpkin-face nail art to the most stellar sugar-skull nails we’ve *ever* seen, here are 40 manicures that are basically costumes for your nails.

Cute Cat Ear Tips

This is a great mani option for anyone and everyone who wants to be on the couch with their cats at any given moment. Just use a thinner brush to make the triangles for the ears. You can use another brush or even the tip of a bobby pin to dot on the eyes!

Wear pastels and eat ice cream, of course! I was SO inspired by @superninjaflyingmonkey’s recent pastel pop art Frankenstein mani that I immediately started planning my own version. Since I do not have the fantastic Frankie eating ice plate Jolene used, I had to get creative. This mani was so fun to do! The down side is that I literally spent my entire day yesterday working on it! I’m quite proud that I managed to use a completely different color combo on of my 10 fingers! That probably had a lot to do with how time consuming it was! 😅Not to mention the tiny details in the ice cream and popsicles almost killed me! And a double layered reverse stamp, too. You better believe I’m keeping these on ALLLLL week, ha. I will try to get some help taking pics of my right hand later. Anyway I hope you guys like my Frankie and his bride pastel pop art mani! #frankensteinnails #popartnails #uberchicbeauty #BMS201 #essieblossomdandy #chinaglazelimeafterlime #chinaglazewhipitgood #fingerpaintshueknew #salonperfectbellini #sallyhansenpinkblink #summernails #halloweennails #everydayishalloween #reversestamping #advancedstamping"

We ring in the New Year with a New Moon on December 30. This is the perfect opportunity to set our intentions with conviction. Unlike many New Year’s resolutions that we often abandon after a few weeks, the energy of the planets this year supports us to follow through with our goals and truly transform our lives.

Read your Weekly Horoscope for December 29 to January 5, including a glittering New Year's Eve horoscope.

New Year's Eve Horoscope Overview: What To Expect Astrologically This Week

Brit + Co

Many of us are aware of vague, innate blockages that prevent us from living life to the fullest, without fully understanding their origins. These blockages—whether insecurities or scars from childhood or even past lives—cling stubbornly to our consciousness, hindering us from achieving our goals and ideals. Chiron, known as the Wounded Healer and Shaman of the Zodiac, often holds the key to these obstructions in our birth charts.

This week, Mercury, the planet of communication and knowledge, forms a harmonious trine with Chiron. This alignment encourages us to delve deep, uncover our impediments, and, in doing so, heal and move forward. Writing can be a powerful tool in this process, as can conversations with a therapist or astrologer.

Big Lessons In Communication Are Coming This Week

Also this week, Chiron squares Saturn, the planet of responsibility and structure. This aspect challenges us to put in the work to remove these obstructions and create a solid framework for healing and learning from our wounds. The Sun in Capricorn sextiles Saturn in Pisces on January 4, further supporting us to uncover hidden hindrances and to find ways to fully express ourselves.

On January 2, Venus, the planet of personal love, enters Pisces, the archetype of universal love. Venus will remain in Pisces until February 5, when it transitions into Aries. During this month-long transit, we are encouraged to express love in refined and dignified ways that encompass humanity and all living beings. This is a time to deepen personal love connections and strengthen bonds with those we care for, including our animal companions. Imagine the impact if we all focused on spreading this healing, loving energy in our interactions with the world!

However, the peaceful and loving energy of Venus in Pisces is tempered by Mars, the planet of war, which will again oppose Pluto, the planet of transformation. This marks the second of three exact oppositions, bringing aggressive and confrontational energy. While this alignment reflects potential escalation in global conflicts, on a personal level it offers an opportunity to channel this intensity toward achieving personal goals. Use this energy wisely to propel yourself toward freedom and positive change, but avoid aggressive behavior and potentially dangerous situations.
