Mauve lives somewhere between pink and purple, but refuses to commit to either, which makes her perfect for any vibe. And in 2025 we’re doing mauve manis every way: chrome, jelly, velvet, aura, cat-eye, swirls, florals—you name it, she’s serving it. So scroll for 30 mauve nails that’ll make your next set a personality trait.
1. Jelly Mani
Semi-sheer mauve with blush undertones = jelly nails you can’t stop staring at. This finish is huge right now for clean-girl nail stans who still want pigment.
2. Mauve Gradient
Gradient nails? Still the moment. Do it in mauve tones and you’ve basically curated a whole color story. Soft rose to that deep, brownish hue = your new fave fade.
3. Chrome Effect
Chrome is still booked and busy in 2025, and when you coat mauve nails with that high-gloss glaze? Catching light AND compliments, obviously.
4. Glitter & Swirls
Gold detailing is THE nail flex this year—especially when paired with swirly abstract art. Add it over a mauve-pink base and suddenly your nails look like they belong in a gallery.
5. Blush Nails
The blush nail trend is blowing up again, and this one hits that pink-mauve undertone sweet spot. The transparency is key—makes your natural nail look like it’s glowing from within.
6. French Tips
French tips are forever, but the new wave is warm-tone mauve tips. It’s dainty, but it slaps. Ask your tech for double-line gold detailing to get that outlined effect—makes it look designer.
7. Daisy Nails
Chunky daisies on mauve nails feel super fresh again for 2025, especially with this dusty base that tones down the sweetness. It’s cottage-core with taste.
8. Micro French
Micro French tips are fully back and breathing. Whisper-thin white lines on a mauve base = soft flex. Bonus points if you slap a chrome topcoat on it—glazed everything is still trending hard.
9. Aura Effect
Aura nails are STILL all over TikTok, and brown + mauve is the sleeper combo no one saw coming. It’s earthy, moody, and looks way more elevated than the usual bright aura sets.

Sharp French lines are cute, but mocha-mauve and white with a snatched almond point? These are the nails of a villain in a soap opera and we’re rooting for her every time.
19. Leopard Print
Yes, leopard is back. No, not in a tacky Y2K way. This is mauve meets wild print, aka “I’m chaotic but chic.” Animal print slander ends HERE.
20. Mauve Purple
This deep, purple-leaning mauve doesn’t need accessories. Just two coats and you’re THAT girl. Statement color without screaming. We love a confident quiet slay.

You haven’t lived until you’ve seen mauve cat-eye nails under LED lighting. It’s magnetic. It’s shifty. It’s basically intergalactic. Throw some gold chrome in there? OBSESSED.
