LONG NAILS
Clean, minimalist nails will always be in, but stiletto nails haven’t lost their edge. It isn’t a Blonds party without towering, intricate tips to accentuate the sultry, spunky looks on the runway. For its spring/summer 2024 show (pictured here), models rocked pointed crystal-encrusted stiletto tips to add another layer of depth to the moody, dark makeup.

For Priscavera’s nail designs, everything was chrome. Key nail artist Sonji curated 30 chrome looks for the show, from metallic green to bronze gold to clear with 3D adornments.

Negative space will have a positive impact on manicure trends for Spring/Summer ’24 and is a fun way to have a minimalist manicure, but still play up design. “Simple lines and dots in black kept this manicure so simple and yet so impactful,” says Minerva.
