Just when you thought nail trends got boring and the reign of neutral nails and Funny Bunny nails might stretch endlessly into summer, a new contender has arrived on the scene, and it’s refreshingly vibrant. Enter: guava nails.
Equal parts tropical and tasteful, the nail trend takes its cues from sun-drenched fruit and sunset cocktails, offering a punchy, pink-coral hybrid that feels as fresh as a freshly-sliced guava. And while I'm all for a minimalist milky manicure, I'm so here to opt for something a little brighter to see me through the rest of summer. And according to my social feeds right now (and every manicurist I speak to), guava nails are proving the dominating summer nail trend for 2025.
What Are Guava Nails?
A juicy, sun-drenched take on classic pink nails, guava nails are a juicy shade that strikes a balance between playful and polished—think somewhere between a soft coral sorbet and a slice of watermelon. Whether you opt for a more subtle coral hue or go full vibrant pink, it's a sure-fire way to make your manicure instantly more summery and joyful.
