1. Classic Red

You simply can't go wrong with a classic red. "Red nails never go out of style and are a strong favorite amongst our clients at Townhouse," says Juanita Huber-Millet, nail expert and founder and creative director at Townhouse Nail Salon. "From bright, bold hues to deep berry tones, red is perfect for that effortlessly chic and timeless look."

2. Nude

If you like something a little more subtle, a nude mani is always a winner. We've seen natural-looking nails grow in popularity this year, but nude nails will never go out of style. "Less is more and I like that," says nail expert Iram Shelton. "My favorite nudes are by OPI. The brand's iconic Bubble Bath and Put It In Neutral are my go-to shades."

3. Vibrant Blue

I've been seeing bold blue manicures everywhere lately, and I'm not mad about it. Although this is a trending nail color and at the bolder end of the spectrum, it's a pretty solid classic too, as it works all year round. "This vibrant pop of color is all you’ll be needing this summer," says Shelton. "It’s so beautiful and really lifts your mood."

4. Burgundy

I always go for a classic burgundy mani during the autumn and winter months. "Burgundy, the eternal color of allure, has solidified its status as the ultimate timeless favorite," says Huber-Millet. "From runways to red carpets, this rich and captivating deep hue exudes sophistication and elegance. With its enduring appeal, burgundy remains a popular choice, empowering individuals to make a stylish statement that transcends trends."

5. Barbie Pink

I'm not mad at anyone who's still in their Barbiecore era right now, but hot-pink nails have always been in style. "It's a feel-good color," says Shelton, and we couldn't agree more. Below are our favorite hot-pink shades of the season.

6. Forest Green

Green nails are definitely a fun option all year round, but if you want something that never goes out of style, then forest green, in particular, is the way to go. "Forest green nails are always a winner," says Tinu Bello, celebrity manicurist and senior brand ambassador for Mylee. "Sophisticated and subtle but still super fun, I love using the Mylee Green Velvet polish, which is an enchanting, rich, glossy shade."

7. Creamy White

Creamy white tones go with just about anything and can add a chic finishing touch to your look. "I prefer a milky nail to a stark white," says Shelton. It's no secret that milky nails are everywhere right now, and we predict they'll be popular for years to come.

8. French Tips

Okay, so this isn't technically a color, but we can't remember a time when a French mani wasn't in fashion. "There are so many versions of French tips," explains Shelton. "Pops of color are so fun for summer, but when you’re going away on holiday and don’t have outfits planned, it's best to go for a classic French manicure as it’ll go with absolutely everything."
