Have you seen Episode 1 and Episode 2 of the Nail Art Trend for 2024? Today, we bring you the final part of this gel nail trend series!

11. Animal Prints

Animal prints are a classic choice for Nail Art – leopard, tortoiseshell, and even cow prints – creating fun and timeless manicures. Hernandez combines leopard print with a touch of green to create a bolder nail design.

“I use gel-like brown-orange tones, adding layers of brown from dark to light to create a three-dimensional and realistic effect,” she says.

12. Pierced Nails

Add some edginess to your nail art by incorporating pierced details. “This trend briefly appeared in 2023, and I believe it will have its moment in 2024,” says Hernandez. You can add a piercing to any nail design you like, whether it’s with neutral nail polish or a chrome silver effect. To achieve this, she suggests using a thin nail drill to carefully pierce the nail and then adding a stud or charm.

13. Short & Square Nails

Long nails never go out of style, but with celebrities like Olivia Rodrigo and Sofia Richie Grainge embracing natural nails recently, shorter nail lengths will be more popular in 2024. Saunders predicts that ultra-short and square nails that “harken back to the minimalist style of the ’90s” will become a new trend. She recommends pairing this style with a light pink shade like Chanel’s Ballerina or Essie’s Mademoiselle.

14. Aura Nails

Capture the energy of 2024 with aura nails. Hernandez says this trend is highly popular in the nail art community and will become a fresh gradient nail style in the new year. You can achieve this effect by using an airbrush or pigment powders, combining multiple colors that suit your personal style.

2024年 Nail Art 美甲趨勢 第1集 和 第2集 大家看過沒有？今天為大家帶來這個 Gel甲潮流系列的最後一篇!

11. 動物印花 (Animal Prints)

動物印花是 Nail Art 的經典之選——豹紋、玳瑁紋甚至牛斑紋——打造出有趣且永恆的美甲。Hernandez將豹紋與一抹綠色結合，打造出更大膽的指甲造型。

「我使用類似啫喱的棕橙色調，從深到淺添加棕色層次，營造出立體逼真的效果，」她說道。

12. 穿孔指甲 (Pierced Nails)

通過添加一些穿孔細節，為你的美甲增添一點前衛感。「這一趨勢在2023年短暫出現，我相信它在2024年會有它的時刻，」Hernandez說道。你可以在任何你喜歡的美甲造型上添加一個穿孔，無論是中性指甲油還是銀色鍍鉻效果。為了實現這種效果，她建議使用薄的指甲鑽頭小心地在指甲上打孔，然後再添加一個穿孔或吊飾。

13. 短而方形的指甲 (Short & Square Nails)

長指甲永遠不會過時，但隨著像Olivia Rodrigo和Sofia Richie Grainge這樣的名人最近接受自然指甲的風潮，2024年將更受歡迎的是較短的指甲長度。Saunders預測，超短而方形的指甲「讓人回憶起90年代的簡約風格」將成為新的潮流造型。她建議將這種風格搭配淡粉色，如Chanel的Ballerina或Essie的Mademoiselle。

14. 光環指甲 (Aura Nails)

用光環指甲捕捉你2024年的能量。Hernandez表示，這個趨勢在美甲界非常常見，並將在新的一年中成為一種新鮮的漸變指甲風格。你可以用氣槍或顏料粉末結合多種顏色實現這種效果，選擇適合你個人風格的組合色彩。

Last time we shared a few nail art ideas predicted to be popular in 2024 by nail art experts Michelle Saunders and Analysse Hernandez. This time, we will introduce a few more.

6. Squoval Nails
Saunders says, “Despite almond-shaped nails being popular in the past few seasons, they have evolved into a more classic look, and squoval nails will be more prevalent in fashionable nail art.” Squoval nails go well with almost any color, from chocolate brown to neon yellow, so you can choose shades that match the season and your mood.

7. Bows
Bow nail art is not just for the holidays. Hernandez predicts that in 2024, nail designs featuring bows inspired by a playful style will become popular. She suggests freely drawing the outline of bows on the nails to “give them an artistic touch.” You can also use bow charms or diamond embellishments to create a three-dimensional effect.

8. Mismatched Nails
Do you find yourself attracted to various shades or designs? As they say, why choose just one when you can wear them all! Hernandez suggests being as “creatively limitless” as possible with this style because “there are no wrong choices” among these diverse and beautiful options. If you prefer a simpler look, you can opt for solid colors to create an elegant and unique nail design.

9. Peach
“Pantone has introduced their color for 2024 called Peach Fuzz, and in spring ’24, I can see us all going for peachy glossy nail polishes,” says Saunders. This warm and cozy peach shade is perfect for spring and summer, creating a simple yet fashionable nail look.

10. Stars
Stars are destined to adorn your nail designs in 2024! Hernandez states that hand-painted stars, despite being time-consuming, will be a trend in 2024. “Simple star designs are versatile for any season or occasion,” she says. “Practice, practice, practice is key for this style.”
Stars can not only embellish neutral nail art, but you can also combine this design with bold nail polish colors to create eye-catching looks.

上次我們分享過 Nail Art 名師 Michelle Saunders 和 Analysse Hernandez 預測在2024年流行的幾種美甲點子，今次會介紹另外幾款。

6. 方圓指甲形狀 (Squoval Nails)
Saunders表示：「儘管杏仁形狀的指甲在過去幾個季度一直很流行，但它們演變成更經典的外觀，方圓（軟方形）指甲形狀將更常出現在時尚的美甲中。」方圓指甲與幾乎任何顏色都很搭配，從朱克力啡到霓虹黃，因此您可以選擇與季節和心情相配的色調。

7. 蝴蝶結美甲 (Bows)

蝴蝶結美甲不僅僅是假日美甲的必備款式。Hernandez 預測，在2024年，受到俏皮風格啟發的帶有蝴蝶結的指甲造型將會流行起來。她建議在指甲上自由繪製蝴蝶結的輪廓，「以賦予它們一種藝術感」，但您也可以使用蝴蝶結吊飾或鑲有鑽石的裝飾品，營造出立體感的效果。

8. 不匹配的指甲 (Mismatched Nails)

看到很多種色調或設計都吸引著你? 正所謂小朋友才要選擇，我們可以不只選擇一個，就直接全部都戴上！Hernandez建議在這種造型上盡可能地「創意無限」，因為「在這些多樣美麗的選擇中，沒有錯誤的」。如果你喜歡保持簡單，可以選擇純色調，打造出優雅又獨特的指甲造型。

9. 桃色 (Peach)

「Pantone在2024年推出了他們的顏色，叫做Peach Fuzz，在’24年的春天，我可以看到我們都會選擇桃色光澤的指甲油，」Saunders說道。這種溫暖而舒適的桃色非常適合春夏季，打造出簡單時尚的美甲。

10. 星星 (Stars)

你的指甲造型在2024年注定要有星星點綴！Hernandez表示，手繪星星，儘管有些費時，但將成為2024年的趨勢。「簡單的星星造型在任何季節或場合中都非常多變，」她說。「在這個造型上，練習、練習、再練習是關鍵。」

星星不單止可以點綴中性的美甲，你也可以將這種設計與大膽的指甲油結合，打造出特別引人注目的造型。

I wish everyone a successful and beautiful 2024! Recently, nail art experts Michelle Saunders and Analysse Hernandez shared their predictions for popular nail art ideas in 2024. They expect a trend that combines classic designs with fashion and vibrant energy. Let’s introduce a few of them.

1. Chrome Nails

After Beyoncé’s Renaissance tour, the metallic trend was everywhere in 2023. In the new year, we will still see the chrome effect, but with more diverse colors. Saunders predicts that soft chrome shine paired with subtle tones will be a trend in the spring and summer seasons.

2. Textured Designs
If you’re new to nail art, textured designs are a great starting point. Saunders and Hernandez believe this trend will continue to evolve in 2024, creating super cool and modern nail looks. Whether added to classic French manicures or different designs like 3D bubbles, this style is versatile. Hernandez suggests using 3D gel tubes or sculpting gel to achieve this effect.

3. Hazy Blue
The “cool girl” makeup trend gained popularity in early 2023, and now it’s making its way into manicures in 2024. Saunders sees a trend of hazy blue, combining light blue nail polish with a touch of gray, rising in the winter months. To add some sparkle, you can apply a layer of silver on top of the blue.

4. Electric Blue
If you prefer vibrant colors, according to Hernandez, electric blue will also be a trend in 2024. She recommends The Gel Bottle in Electric Blue for an elegant and eye-catching nail look that can be worn year-round.

5. Shades of Red
Red was the biggest color trend of 2023 and remains popular in 2024. Saunders says, “Even though red polish is often associated with classic looks or seasonal options like holidays and Valentine’s Day, it’s actually currently trending.” She recently used Chanel’s Le Vernis Longwear Nail Colour in Rouge Puissant for an editorial, and it gave a stylish and modern look.

Saunders and Hernandez also predict that a slightly darker shade of red, known as “Cherry Cola,” will be popular for those seeking a deep, wintery nail look.

先祝大家在2024年事事順利越來越靚! 最近 Nail Art 名師 Michelle Saunders 和 Analysse Hernandez 分享了他們預計在2024年流行的幾種美甲點子，預計今年趨勢是將經典設計與時尚結合，而且充滿活力! 今次我們先介紹幾款。

1. 鉻鍍指甲 (Chrome Nails)
經過 Beyoncé 的文藝復興巡演，金屬質感在2023年無處不在。在新一年我們仍然可到處看到鉻鍍效果，但顏色會更多樣化。Saunders預測，柔和的鉻鍍光澤搭配淡雅色調將在春夏季將成為流行趨勢。

2. 紋理設計 (Textured Designs)
如果您對 Nail Art 還不熟悉，紋理設計是一個很好的起點。Saunders和Hernandez認為這一趨勢將在2024年繼續發展，打造出超酷和現代感的指甲造型。無論是添加到經典的法式指甲還是不同的設計中，如3D氣泡，這種造型都非常多變，Hernandez 就建議使用3D凝膠管或塑形凝膠來實現這種效果。

3. 藍色霧感 (Hazy Blue)
“冷酷女孩”妝容在2023年初走紅，這一趨勢正在2024年進入 Manicure 美甲領域。Saunders看到淺藍色指甲油加上一點灰色，形成一種霧感藍色的趨勢在冬季月份崛起。為了增添一點閃爍效果，可以在藍色上塗上一層銀色。

4. 電光藍色 (Electric Blue)
如果您喜歡充滿活力的顏色，根據Hernandez的說法，電光藍色在2024年也將成為流行趨勢。她推薦 The Gel Bottle 的電光藍色指甲油，打造優雅且引人注目的指甲造型，全年都可以佩戴。

5. 紅色的色調 (Shades of Red)
紅色是2023年最大的色彩潮流，並且在2024年仍然非常流行。Saunders表示：「儘管紅色指甲油通常與經典造型或季節選項（節日和情人節）相關，但實際上它目前正處於潮流之中。」她最近在編輯時使用了Chanel 的 Le Vernis Longwear Nail Colour系列中的 Rouge Puissant，效果非常時尚和現代。

Saunders和Hernandez還預測，如果您正在尋找冬季的色彩深沉指甲造型，稍微深一些的紅色，即所謂的“Cherry Cola”，將會很受歡迎。
