Bubblegum Nails will replace the classic French - bet on bubble gum nails this season!
Does the traditional French manicure feel too predictable, boring, or repetitive? It's time for something new, exciting, and ultra-fresh! In 2025, one of the hottest summer trends will be bubblegum nails! Bubblegum nails are one of the newest hits in nail styling, gaining more and more popularity. The name refers to pink bubblegum and is characterized by candy-like shades of pink.
You can choose from powdery, intense, or even neon pinks – it all depends on your personal style. We’ll show you why it’s worth trying this sweet alternative and how to recreate it with Silcare products.
What do bubblegum nails look like?
Bubblegum nails are a style that combines subtle delicacy with a modern finish. Although inspired by the classic French manicure, bubblegum nails bring a fresh, fashionable twist. Instead of traditional white tips, we opt for pastel pink hybrid polishes that visually elongate the nail plate and add lightness to the whole look.
This trend features not only pastel pink, but also a characteristic shine reminiscent of glass, making the style stand out. Bubblegum nails are a manicure full of freshness and elegance that fits perfectly into the "quiet luxury" style – subtle, yet very expressive.
What is the ideal length for bubblegum nails?
Bubblegum nails are most commonly shaped into ovals or almonds, though fans of square or coffin shapes are not uncommon. The key is having nails long enough to extend beyond the fingertips. The look is based on natural beauty, and the soft pink visually elongates the nails.
This style adds extra volume and depth to the nails. A minimalist ombre effect combined with a pink shade makes bubblegum nails a perfect accessory for any occasion – from everyday wear to special events.
How to create the perfect bubblegum manicure?
Although bubblegum nails may seem complicated, the look is actually very easy to achieve – especially if you have the right products. Depending on the shade of pink and technique you use, you can achieve a subtle, translucent color or a more intense, pastel manicure.
To create bubblegum nails, you'll need a few key products: a base, a top coat, and a glass-effect powder.
Depending on the thickness of the layer applied, you can achieve a soft, misty look or a more intense color. The pink mist pairs beautifully with summer dresses and elegant outfits, giving nails a fresh and stylish appearance.
Why choose bubblegum nails?
Bubblegum nails are a style that is sure to surpass the classic French manicure. With pastel pink and a glassy finish, your nails will look well-groomed, light, and fashionably polished. This manicure is perfect for the minimalist who wants to stand out in a subtle way.
How to do bubblegum nails at home?
While bubblegum nails might seem tricky, it’s a look you can easily recreate at home. To create perfect bubblegum nails, you’ll need a few essentials:
- A semi-transparent hybrid base that gives your nails a delicate pink tint.
- No-wipe top coat – gives a mirror-like finish and long-lasting results.
- Glass-effect powder – adds a brilliant shine and glassy finish.
- Pink eyeshadow – perfect for creating a soft ombre effect.
Bubblegum nails step by step:
- Prepare the nail plate: Shape your nails, remove cuticles, and buff the surface with a nail buffer.
- Apply the base: Apply a thin layer of hybrid base and cure it in the lamp.
- Apply the polish: Apply two layers of your chosen pink polish, curing each layer in the lamp.
- Extra effect (optional): If you like, add powder, glitter, or pink eyeshadow to create a gradient or sparkle.
- Seal the design: Apply a hybrid top coat and cure in the lamp. Using a glass-effect top will enhance the shine.
