Manicure for ballerina shape nails for January 2025: novelties and fashionable designs

Although the ballerina nail shape may be associated with the sombre aesthetic of October, this spectacular style remains elegant and relevant at any time of year. It is ideal for medium to long nails, emphasising their grace and sophistication.
The characteristic feature of the ballerina shape is the square tip that tapers to the base, creating a harmonious combination of strict lines and femininity. This shape offers endless possibilities for experimentation, from understated minimalist designs to luxurious options with sequins, rhinestones and 3D elements. And while some may find the shape's ‘sombre’ associations reminiscent of a coffin, its modern execution absolutely transforms this look, giving it a stylish and bold character.
These expressive and dramatic nails are the perfect choice for those who want to welcome the new year with a trendy and impressive manicure. Scroll down and get inspired by the top 10 best ballerina shape nail designs that will make your January even brighter!

01 Pink and orange aura

Bring vibrancy into your life with a manicure in pink and orange tones reminiscent of a glowing aura. Long ballerina nails create the perfect canvas for design, allowing you to unleash your creativity and add a touch of boldness to your image. This manicure combines sophistication and boldness, turning every moment into a celebration of style.

02 Intense Orange

Combine a vibrant colour, such as deep orange, with a 3D dewdrop design to create a stylish and memorable manicure with an optical illusion. The ballerina shape gives the design a dramatic and elegant silhouette, emphasising its expressiveness.

03 Rich burgundy

Add a twist to a simple manicure with a piercing - it's like nail jewellery. We especially love how the ring looks both understated and spectacular at the same time, giving your manicure a unique look and creating a striking visual impression that's impossible to ignore.

04 French manicure

At this time of year we often enjoy the cosiness of our most favourite jumpers. Why not bring that atmosphere to your manicure? We especially love how this design uses rich, dark French tips to accentuate the stylish plaid pattern, creating a dramatic and warm look for your nails.

05 Extra! Extra!

Treat yourself to a newspaper print manicure that will be the highlight of your look and emphasise your uniqueness.
