Sweet summer shine. "Syrup Nails" is the latest trend that fans of delicate manicure love

Forget about glitter and matte finish - here comes the manicure that looks like melted icing. "Syrup nails" is a phenomenal trend straight from the runways and celebrity salons, which will dominate Instagram and prestigious beauty salons in the summer of 2025.

Imagine a subtle shine, as if your nails were bathed in sweet, flowing maple syrup. This is exactly what the hottest manicure of the season looks like - "syrup nails" . It is the answer to the needs of those who are looking for something more than just ordinary nail polish. This trend is a fusion of fashionable jelly nails and classic elegance - the effect is light, sensual and absolutely luxurious.

- Unlike jelly nails, syrup nails are more of a gradient and subtly build color from the tip to the base of the nail - explains Jin Soon Choi, a renowned celebrity nail artist, in an interview with "Byrdie". - The effect looks like the polish is gently flowing, creating a melted glaze effect.

The secret of the "syrup" manicure is in the finish — ultra-gloss, semi-transparency and an inconspicuous play of colors . Even without visible shading, the nails look as if covered with a glassy coating. Loi Lien, a nail artist who works with Hollywood names, notes: "This finish is more shiny than any other manicure. The nails appear almost wet — exactly as if they were covered with fresh syrup ."

Although the classic version of the trend is shades of caramel, milky white or pink, experts encourage experimenting. Playing with color is key. Use transparent pink, coral or purple - it will be light, feminine and modern.

Good news? This trend doesn't require a visit to a fancy salon. Just mix the polishes in a 1:2 ratio - one part color, two parts transparent base. For a perfect effect, use a high-shine gel top coat, preferably on clear Gel-X tips, which are loved by the stars. You can apply the color in layers for a tonal effect or go for a delicate ombré - both versions are equally dazzling.

“It’s a manicure that looks high-end but is surprisingly simple,” Choi sums up. And in a world where luxury is often simplicity with a sophisticated twist, “syrup nails” have all the ingredients for success.
