Celebrity crystal manicurist Mazz Hanna agrees, predicting we'll see a variety of different hues with pearly metallic finishes. "It's been a while since frosty colours have been on trend, so I predict this making a comeback in a big way." 

2. Yellow

Editorial manicurist Jin Soon Choi predicts that yellow will see a major comeback due to its "undeniably young and fun spirit." Eva Chen, pictured above, sported a bright yellow Jin Soon shade for the 2019 Met Gala. 

3. Dark Green

Lauren Dunne, co-founder and CEO of Varnish Lane, predicts that dark greens are going to be big. "It's a shade that people weren't comfortable wearing for a long time, and they're just now realising that it's an extremely universally flattering shade that gets tons of compliments." 

4. Garden Party Shades

For spring, Tuttle expects to see shades reminiscent of a garden party. "We are in a sage, sunny yellow and pinky lavender mood," she explains. "Adding a higher concentration of white into shades really makes the colour pop." 

5. Pastel

Hanna predicts that pastel nails will be back in a big way. "It feels like a natural progression of Wholesale Replica Bag '90s craze," she explains."Think Hard Candy inspired colours with glossy topcoats."

6. Soft Orange

Dunne also predicts that we'll start to see "soft orange" colours replacing the typical corals that Varnish Lane clients gravitate toward in the spring. 

7. Blue

"We're so excited to see classic blue chosen as the Pantone colour of the year for 2020 because we already see this colour becoming more popular for nails," says Dunne. Jin Soon Choi agrees, noting that blue is definitely an It colour for next year.

8. Nude

"I used various nudes during the 2020 fashion week shows for Tibi, Phillip Lim, Alexander Wang, Coach and Longchamp," recalls Choi. She recommends experimenting by using nude alone, nude/ombré and nude in a matte finish for a cool spin on the nude trend.

9. Matte

Choi is excited to see vibrant '80s colours back in the mix, with fun designs or a different colour on each finger as seen during several recent fashion shows.

11. Activism

"With the upcoming and much-anticipated election happening in 2020, I suspect that people will turn to their tips to support their political views," says Hanna. 

12. Ombré

Olive June clients are still not over the ombré mani. "I think we'll see this design trend transition from a different shade on every finger to a more subtle two or three shade ombré," explains Tuttle. 

13. Negative Space

According to Hanna, negative-space manicures never go out of style, but she suspects we'll be seeing even more minimalistic designs as the year continues. 

14. Metallics ( Again)

"We're taking cues from our favourite jewellery brands and incorporating subtle swipes of metallics into our manis," says Tuttle. This is a clever way to compliment your favourite ring stacks. 

15. Updated french Mani

This is not your grandmother's French manicure! "For 2020, instead of a traditional crescent, we'll see new tip styles such as heart shapes, double Frenches and asymmetrical placement," says Tuttle.

Hannah agrees, noting that we should expect to see more variations in the tip colour and width of line work on the nail tip as pictured above.

Choi concurs, sharing, "Simple nail art, such as tweaked versions of French manicures and halfway negative space, confetti and one big dot on each finger will be popular." A lot of artists used this modern style of French nail art during the NYFW S/S 20, as seen above at the Rag Bone show.

16. Colour Theory

Tuttle says she is looking forward to applying colour theory to create more nuanced and custom colours. "We'll see the layering of polishes to give even more dimensionality to shades," she explains. Try layering a metallic under a barely there sheen for a subtle glow from within that works year-round.
