As the sun begins to linger and spring turns toward summer, this month’s nail trends are all about light, layers, and quiet luxury. From soft aura glows to glassy jelly textures, 2025’s May manicure mood is modern, feminine, and elevated. At Le Salon Doré, we’ve curated this month’s most requested looks—each one refined, wearable, and undeniably chic.
Let’s explore what’s trending and why these styles are defining the season.
🌸 1. Aura Nails – The Glowing Effect
Delicate. Ethereal. Addictive. Aura nails are leading Pinterest boards this month, offering a dreamy glow that seems to hover under sheer jelly layers. Blended with soft tones like lilac haze, rose milk, or icy mint, they radiate elegance with a modern twist. At our Nail Atelier, we craft each aura gradient with precision, ensuring a seamless transition that flatters every skin tone.
Best for: clients who want soft dimension without drama.
Pair with: almond or short oval shape.
💧 2. Jelly Chrome – Futuristic Meets Feminine
Glazed finishes aren’t going anywhere, but this month they’ve evolved. Think sheer jelly color with a veil of pearlized chrome—light-reflective, weightless, and elegant. We especially love this effect over a nude base or baby blue, with a whisper of sculpted shine at the tip.
Best for: soft futuristic looks with dimension.
Pair with: minimalist negative space or 3D edge art.
🌿 3. Speckled Neutrals – The New Minimalist Art
Neutral tones like clay, sage, and blush are now elevated with hand-applied speckling. Whether matte or glazed, this trend adds texture and movement while keeping the aesthetic refined. It’s natural with an artistic wink.
Best for: subtle statement nails with earthy elegance.
Pair with: clean line art or abstract accents.
💎 4. French Tip Reinvention – Layered & Luxe
The French manicure has entered its couture era. At Le Salon Doré, our clients are opting for layered French tips with soft chrome curves, pastel accents, and aura overlays. It’s a look that honors tradition while embracing high-fashion edge.
Best for: classic tastes craving something new.
Pair with: glossy finish, almond shape, soft pink base.
