Manicure for August 2024: the most fashionable trends of the outgoing summer

August has already begun, so it's time to think about what kind of manicure will please the eye this month. Colorful designs or a more nude palette? The choice is yours because while the summer is still going on and the holiday season is not over, it's time to embody all your most fashionable and desired ideas in a manicure.

Manicurist Hannah Mazza told InStyle that in August 2024, 3D accents, mix-and-match patterns, stickers, flame designs, fruit nail art, and nostalgia for the 2000s era are in trend.

The trendy manicure of August is a smooth transition or even an addition to what was popular in July. Bright colors, self-expression, neon, 3D... Moreover, the trendy shades of June set the mood for the whole summer, because they all do not lose their positions as leaders from month to month.

Golden stickers

An ideal manicure for those who prefer calm nail colors and do not like to experiment with bright shades. You need to start with a nude base, and then add gold stickers on top and cover them with a transparent top.

Bright abstraction

This manicure can combine colors that, at first glance, do not match. It is very easy to create.

Animal print

We are used to seeing animal prints on nails only in basic colors. So, maybe you should try creating a mixture of glittery colored base and black patterns?

Mix and match

For several years now, mix-and-match ideas have been an indispensable option for super-trendy designs. Cute patterns together look great.

3D flowers

This mi-mi-mi design is almost impossible to recreate at home, but it is worth a visit to a manicurist.

Bright neon

As already mentioned, the trends of August are a complement to what was popular in July. Bright acid neon is proof of this.

Pink waves

"Colorful marbled waves are a great option for August as they perfectly capture the laid-back vibe of late summer. This is a look that you can get creative with as you can choose any color palette you want for the design. It can take a lot of time to get this look as the swirls are hand-painted, but the beautiful result is worth it," said Hannah Mazza.

Pastel aura with sparkle

A sparkle pattern can be a part of a bold manicure, not just a part of a daring one. It is depicted on top of a gradient called an aura, so it adds an accent to it.

Nail art with "barbed wire"

Don't these silver designs remind you of the tattoo style from the 2000s? This is exactly the nostalgia Mazza was talking about.

Strawberry dreams

The strawberry season is over, but that doesn't mean that fruit manicure is a thing of the past.
