While summer typically brings bold nail colors—vibrant reds, oranges, yellows, and pastel nudes—another shade is quietly gaining popularity among trendsetters and celebrities.

Spring/Summer 2025 Nail Trends

According to Allurenail trends this year are inspired by nature. Nail artist Cyndia Robinson notes, “This spring, nail colors are really inspired by nature and its elements.” Say goodbye to Pantone’s “Mocha Mousse”—an iced brown that had everyone swooning. In its place are softer and more natural tones like sky blue, buttery yellow, silver, terracotta, and the standout shade: Lavender Milk.

Lavender Milk is a super pale purple with a slight hint of violet, so subtle it almost looks neutral.

Lavender Milk Nails: The Trend of the Summer

This trending color is soft, addictive, and elegantly purple. Perfect for spring, it’s equally chic for summer outfits.

On social media, #LavenderMilk is trending as the season’s breakout hit. Celebs like Hailey Bieber are already on board. She’s been spotted rocking her own dreamy version of the shade.

The Meaning Behind Purple

At the Fashion Trust U.S. Awards on April 8, 2025, Hailey wore a taupe-violet shade, complementing her skin tone and dress. Known for classic nude or bold red, she couldn’t resist this moody purple. With meanings of femininity, independence, creativity, and calm, it’s the perfect vibe to channel this summer.

Now you know it—it’s time to swap your usual nude for a softer, unique hue. Searching for the perfect summer manicure? Look no further.

As for the Shape? That’s Up to You!

Short nails and almond shapes are trending, embraced by Hailey Bieber, Selena Gomez, and Kylie Jenner. Ready to try this fresh trend? Elegant, understated, and totally wearable—lavender milk nails are this summer’s chicest beauty upgrade.
