Press Release: The Rise of Male Nail Art – A Trend That’s Here to Stay
As we step into 2025, the sight of men with decorative, polished nails is becoming increasingly mainstream, challenging outdated perceptions of masculinity. Iconic figures such as David Bowie and Kurt Cobain first popularized male manicures in the ’70s, paving the way for today’s male celebrities to embrace this trend without hesitation.
In recent interviews, artists like A$AP Rocky have vocalized the need for men to freely explore nail art, emphasizing that creativity should not be confined by gender norms. The launch of Harry Styles’ beauty brand, Pleasing, in 2021 further exemplifies this shift, offering a palette that ranges from electric blue to soft pink.
Hollywood’s elite have also joined this trend. Celebrities like Jared Leto, Billy Porter, and Machine Gun Kelly have showcased their manicured looks on red carpets, proving that nail art is no longer limited to a specific genre or demographic.
Highlighting the diversity in male manicures, South Korean rapper G-Dragon leads with vibrant, intricate designs, while K-Pop star The8 offers minimalistic yet bold choices. From checkerboard patterns by Machine Gun Kelly to unique designs from other stars, each brings a personal flair to their manicured looks.
As summer approaches, influencers and celebrities are sharing their nail inspirations. Thai actor Win Metawin opts for pastel elegance, while Dokyeom from Seventeen incorporates playful 3D elements into his look.
With fresh styles continually emerging, it’s the perfect time for men to experiment with nail art. From classic black to contemporary metallics, the current landscape invites everyone to express themselves—one nail at a time. The future of male beauty is brightly colored and beautifully diverse.
