International Women’s Day 2025: Nail Gels, Empowerment, and the Art of Self-Care (2025)

Every year on 8th March, International Women’s Day (IWD) unites millions globally to celebrate women’s achievements, challenge inequalities, and champion gender parity. At Ambedo Beauty, we believe empowerment is more than a buzzword—it’s a daily practice. This year, we’re merging the bold artistry of nail gels with the transformative power of self-care, proving that even the smallest acts of creativity can fuel monumental change. Let your nails become a canvas for resilience, solidarity, and unapologetic self-expression.  

Why IWD Still Matters in 2025

 
Since 1911, IWD has evolved from labour rights protests to a global movement celebrating women’s social, economic, and political strides. Yet, the fight is far from over. The 2025 theme, #InspireInclusion, calls for dismantling barriers in tech, healthcare, and leadership—spaces where women remain underrepresented.  

Self-care rituals, like nail grooming, might seem frivolous in the face of systemic challenges. But history shows that beauty has always been political. From the suffragettes’ purple-white-green palette to the 1970s feminist slogan buttons, aesthetics have amplified voices. Today, adorning your nails with vibrant gel colours is a modern act of defiance: a declaration that women deserve joy, creativity, and time for themselves.  

Nail Gel Colours That Tell Your Story

Colour psychology isn’t just a trend—it’s a language. This IWD, curate a manicure that mirrors your values:  
- Purple for Justice: A tribute to the suffragettes, this regal shade symbolises dignity, ambition, and the fight for equality.  
- Green for Growth: Earthy greens connect to environmental activism and reproductive rights, echoing the need to nurture all aspects of womanhood.  
- Red for Rebellion: A fiery crimson isn’t just bold—it’s a nod to revolutionary women worldwide, from Malala Yousafzai to Greta Thunberg.  
- Gold for Legacy: Metallic gold honours the trailblazers who paved the way, while inspiring the next generation to shine brighter.  

Self-Care: A Revolutionary Act of Resistance  

Women are often praised for selflessness, but prioritising *yourself* is radical. A 2024 study by the Women’s Mental Health Network found that 73% of women feel guilt when taking time for self-care. Yet, rituals like painting your nails aren’t indulgent—they’re essential.  

The repetitive motion of applying gel polish becomes meditative, grounding you in the present. It’s a moment to reflect on your worth, away from societal expectations. As author Audre Lorde once said, “Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.”

Feminist Nail Art Trends Dominating 2025 

Transform your nails into mini billboards with these trendsetting designs:  
1. Equality Equations: Use fine-line brushes to paint mathematical symbols (=, ≠)  
2. Floral Fury: Pair delicate botanicals with bold feminist icons (raised fists, Venus symbols) for a juxtaposition of softness and strength.  
3. Retro Revival: Channel 90s activism with geometric shapes and riot grrrl-inspired slogans (“Girl Power,” “Unapologetic”).  
4. Negative Space Minimalism: Let bare nails peek through gel designs—a metaphor for the work still needed to fill gaps in equality.
