@harrietwestmorelandFirst up, 2024 will be all about soft pink shades. "The balletcore trend is set to make waves in the coming year in the beauty and fashion spaces," says Huber-Millet. "This look seamlessly blends sophistication, elegance and grace. [To re-create] this must-have look, go for shades of soft pink reminiscent of ballet slippers and milky whites."

@themaniclubThis is such a beautiful colour for the spring and summer months, and looks chic on all nail shapes.
As soon as I saw this Nails. Inc shade I immediately thought of my ballet slippers from when I was young.
This is a lovely, slightly sheerer alternative to the above polish.

@paintedbyjoolsYep, that's right. Chrome nails are here to stay. "Chrome nails been leading the way for two consecutive years and this trend is set to continue in 2024," says Huber-Millet. "This chic look is so versatile and suits all nail lengths and shapes."

@harrietwestmorelandI thought I might be bored of this trend by now, but there's something so stylish about the chrome finish that I'm not sure I'll ever be sick of it.
Want to get the chrome look without all the fuss? This powder pen will be your new best friend.

@harrietwestmorelandAs mentioned above, if you want to lean into the balletcore aesthetic, you can also opt for milky white shades. This colour is ideal for those who prefer a more neutral look, and the best bit is that it won't clash with anything in your wardrobe.

@paintedbyjoolsThis shade complements both gold and silver jewellery and will make your manicure look so elevated.
Max Factor has created a stunning milky white shade.
Chanel has a more nude-toned version, if that's more your thing.

@sofiarichiegraingeFrom Prada to Fendi, sky blue was seen all over the S/S 24 runways, so I don't doubt that this shade will be big in the beauty world too. If you want your nails to pop this spring, then this is the trend to go for.

@buffcsThe pastel shade is such a fun alternative to white nails if you like a bit of colour, but not too much.
The perfect pale blue shade does exist, and it's under £10.
I might have to treat myself to this Gucci nail polish for the warmer months.

@rochellehumesIf you didn't know, Pantone recently announced that Peach Fuzz is its Colour of the Year for 2024, and I'm a big fan. This subtle, warm hue is giving me all of the summer vibes, and there are so many fun ways to wear this trend on your nails. I mean, just look at this cute reverse-French manicure!

@betina_goldsteinIf you want to keep things really subtle, opt for a sheer peach shade to give your natural nails a boost.
If you want to make a statement, opt for this warm peach shade from OPI.
For something slightly subtler, try this sheer peach polish.
