2025 Beauty Trends: Manicure and Millennials are the Perfect Combination

If there’s one thing millennials are popularly known for, it’s that they’re willing to try anything new. Like the saying goes, if the shoe doesn’t fit, buy a new pair or a hundred. In recent years, as much as smartphones have taken a clever turn in terms of functionality and design, so too have nail care taken a turn for the better. Yes, we’re going to talk about nails in this article. Specifically, nail care and aesthetics because who doesn’t love a good handful of beautiful and trendy fingernails?

This 2025, gone are the days of natural nails. Instead, millennials and gen-Z sport what they call “claws and paws” with their acrylic nails, gel nails, press-on nails, stick-on nails, and nail stickers. We’ve seen Cardi-B, Nicki Minaj, Kylie Jenner, Billie Eilish, and all these other modern icons sport the long, artfully shaped colourful nails. The thing is these celebrities have makeup artists and nail artists waiting on them hand and foot. For us modern day civilians with ordinary lives who want to try out these stylish new nail trends, we also have to make sure that our bank accounts won’t suffer even if we jump on the bandwagon.

The obvious solution here is to sport nail stickers! Here are 4 quick reasons why we’re such a fan of them:

  • Nail stickers are SO CUTE – That’s such a juvenile reason to want to have nail stickers, but have you seen NSI Australia’s collection of nail art stickers? They’re absolutely fantastic and can suit any personality and style. You’re into gothic? Horror? Kawaii-inspired? Anime? Modern art? Neon? Cottage-core? Or cutesy cartoons? Or cute little butterflies? Whatever design you want, there’s a good chance they have that design.
  • Nail stickers are SO EASY – You don’t even need to have long natural nails for this. After cleaning and buffing the surface of your fingernails, use tweezers to gently peel off the stickers from the backing and apply on each nail. The trick is to gently roll it onto the surface starting at the corner of the nail until you reach the opposite corner. Make sure to press firmly down as you roll to eliminate any air bubbles and to ensure a strong bond to the nail’s surface. Once you’ve applied the sticker, just add an extra layer of protection using a quick dry top coat. There you have it and now you’ve got a beautiful design on your fingernails.
  • Nail stickers are SO CHEAP – Just because it’s cheap doesn’t mean it’s ugly, and this is true for nail stickers. Nail stickers are a much more economical and practical option than gel nails, which cost between $55-$85 depending on the design and length. With nail stickers, you won’t have to spend hours at the nail salon or spend a hundred dollars for a gel manicure. And even with just the nail stickers, you’ll get beautiful designs that complement your personal style, or you’ll get the newest designs as if you got them at a professional nail studio.

If you ask us, nail stickers are a well-kept secret that we shouldn’t gatekeep. It’s an emerging trend on Tiktok and it is quickly taking the spot when it comes to nail aesthetics because it’s easy and practical in this fast-paced modern world. So what are you waiting for?
