Every year seems to get better and better when it comes to innovative nail trends<\/a>, but 2025 has already proven to be something of a standout year for manicure inspiration. While maximalist designs like Amalfi-inspired \u201cItalian summer\u201d nails<\/a> and 3D beach nails<\/a> <\/strong>have been taking off for summer<\/a>, we\u2019ve spotted a simpler take on nail art emerging as one to watch for the season ahead. Enter: polka-dot nails.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Somewhat of a retro print, this summer\u2019s polka-dot manicures balance \u201880s charm with a modern minimalism, taking a simple dot and transforming it into endless creative nail art looks. Whether it\u2019s a monochromatic polka print or a rainbow of mismatched dots, the beauty of polka-dot nails is that they are so versatile. Plus, they pair nicely with basically every other trend out there, from French tips<\/a> to neon hues<\/a>. Ahead, find 11 of the very best polka-dot designs dotting our social feeds right now.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Proving that polka dots are the <\/em>perfect nail art look for minimalists, this manicure created at Amiri nail salon<\/a> layers monochromatic polka dots over a groomed and glossy princess manicure<\/a> for an ultra-polished look.<\/p>\n

Espresso Shots<\/h2>\n

Our collective obsession with Pantone\u2019s color of the year, mocha mousse<\/a>, is continuing into the summer with Caselyn Grover<\/a>\u2019s coffee-toned manicure proving it. Try Manucurist\u2019s Green Nail Polish in Clove, $14<\/a>, to recreate it at home.<\/p>\n

Why pick just one color when you can have, well, 20? This riotously bright nail look by GetNailed salon<\/a> is essentially a dopamine hit in manicure form. Obsessed.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t fancy an all-over print, then polka-dot French tips are proving popular right now. This look by Gia Artistry<\/a> uses a warm chestnut brown tone with bright white microdots for a wearable everyday manicure.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mismatched polka-dot manicures are a huge trend, but if you prefer something a little more subtle, then opt for two tonal colors rather than a clash, much like this blue look by nail content creator Melanie Graves<\/a>. Try OPI Shore Is Something!, $12.99<\/a>, with Essie Gel Couture in Caviar Bar, $13<\/a>.<\/p>\n

An homage to the more-is-more aesthetic of the \u201880s, where polka-dot power two-pieces once reigned supreme, this jewelry manicure<\/a> by Hattonnails<\/a> embraces opulence in the best way. Quiet luxury? We don\u2019t know her.<\/p>\n

Between soap nails<\/a> and juicy nail tints<\/a>, it\u2019s clear that sheer and dewy manicures have dominated this year. So it makes perfect sense for nail artist Shannon Elias<\/a> to opt for a pink jelly base for this microscopic polka-dot design. Essie Jelly Gloss in Blush Jelly, $13<\/a>, makes the perfect at-home color for this look.<\/p>\n
