Golden Hour Nails Replace French Manicure as Summer 2025's Top Trend

The "golden hour nails" trend is dominating manicure looks in July 2025, pushing aside the classic French manicure and minimalist nude finishes. The style evokes the golden sky just before sunset, blending shades of peach, apricot, buttery yellow, powder pink, muted purple and magenta in a seamless gradient. A mirror powder finish adds depth and a multidimensional shimmer to the look.
