Summer Nails

Thissummer the nail trends range from rainbow-colored nails to softer more all-natural milky nail looks. Whether you like the typical vibrant colors that summer brings or would rather keep it subtle and sophisticated, there is a summer nail trend for you!  Another trending mani style is creating negative space nail art with geometric patterns providing a minimalist and modern twist to summer nails. Here are a few of our favorite mani looks for you to try this summer!

Gradient nails for summer are a fun and easy trend. Gradient nails blend multiple shades, creating a smooth transition from one color to another. From soft pastels to vibrant tropical tones, gradient nails create a bright and colorful cheery aesthetic. Whether it's using blue shades for a beach-inspired ombré or orange and yellow shades for a sunset-inspired fade, this manicure style is perfect for the summer nails, adding a splash of excitement to your fingertips.

Rainbow nails, also known as “skittle nails” are super fun for summer nails. This trend has been popping up for a while and was made even more popular when Selena Gomez was spotted with this colorful rainbow-style mani. While the classic is to paint each full nail a different shade of the rainbow, we also love the minimal version of this trend by painting just the tips for a rainbow French manicure! You can also really break out of the box and do a reverse French and paint the colorful stripe at the base of the nail.

The milky nail polish trend is a natural nail look taking inspiration from the color of milk and its creamy, off-white shade. This delicate hue adds a touch of femininity and refinement to your nails, creating a clean, polished, and timeless look. Milky nails are the perfect summer nail look if you want to keep things more minimal. Milky nails are very similar to the glazed donut nail trend and the lipgloss nail trend. All three of these nail looks are great for summer when you want to keep it simple, fresh, and feminine.

Neon nails are the epitome of vibrant energy and bold self-expression. These electrifying shades demand attention, radiating a sense of fun and confidence. From fluorescent pinks to neon greens and yellows, these colors instantly brighten any look. Neon nails make a daring statement and are perfect for those who want to stand out and embrace their inner wild side. If going full-on neon is a bit too much for you, try the negative space nail trend by leaving part of the nail bare and then add geometric neon shapes, or thin or wavy lines. 

Think pink! Having a pink mani is a color that gives summer vibes. With the upcoming Barbie movie creating buzz, it's no surprise that pink is trending for summer nails, and embracing the Barbicore trend is nothing to be ashamed of. The world of playful pink shades opens up endless possibilities for fun nail designs, from floral patterns to modern waves and polka dots. Get ready to rock some exciting and vibrant pink summer nails!

The mermaid nail trend takes inspiration from all the enchanting creatures of the ocean. With a sea of blue hues, shiny iridescent finishes, and shimmering top coats, these summer nails give mystical mermaid vibes. From oceanic blues and greens to iridescent purples and pinks, each nail resembles a mermaid’s shimmering tail. You can add rhinestones, pearls, and seashell nail stickers for an extra touch of whimsy to your mermaid-inspired nails.
