Summer Nail Trends: The Hottest Colors and Styles to Try

The weather may be heating up, but that doesn’t mean you should give up on your beloved manicures and pedicures just yet! Keep your nails looking great all summer long with these nail trends that are especially trendy this year. So feel free to put away those navy blues, maroons, and shimmery reds from your winter nail days and get out your greens, yellows, pinks, and whatever other colors make you feel ~summery~ for this season’s biggest trends.

Floral Prints

Minimalist floral prints are having a moment this summer. They look chic and put together, but still have a fun summer vibe. To get the look, start with a nude base color. Then, use a thin brush to paint on small flowers in a light color. Add a top coat for extra protection.

It’s best to avoid using dark colors like black or navy blue since they’ll make your nails appear shorter than they actually are. Instead, try using an accent nail with your favorite shades of blue!

Rainbow Colored Manicures

One of the hottest trends this summer is rainbow colored nails. This minimalist approach is perfect for those who want to add a pop of color to their nails without going over the top. In addition, it’s a great way to let people know a little more about you.

To get this look, start with a white base coat and then use a different color for each nail. Be sure to use a top coat to protect your manicure and extend its life.

French Manicures

A French manicure is a classic nail look that has been around for decades. It is a timeless and chic style that can be worn any season, but it is especially popular in the summer. French manicures are usually done with a nude or pale pink base color and white tips.

However, you can also find them with colored tips or even all-over color. If you want to try something a little different, opt for a negative space French manicure. This style uses two colors, usually black and white, to create a modern twist on the classic look.

One Color Polish

This summer, the hottest nail trend is single color polish. Whether you choose a classic nude or a bright, bold color, one coat of polish is all you need to make a statement.

To get the perfect manicure, start with a base coat of polish, then apply your chosen color. For a long-lasting manicure, finish with a top coat of clear polish.

Neon Shades

Neon nails are all the rage this summer! You can rock them in any color you want, but we’re especially loving neon green, neon pink, and neon orange.

To get the look, start with a white base coat, then apply your chosen neon shade. We recommend using a gel polish for long-lasting results. Finish with a top coat, and you’re good to go!

Wavy Nail Art

Give your nails a summery makeover with this wavy nail art. Begin by painting your nails with a base color. Once the base color is dry, use a striping brush to create wavy lines on each nail.

Finish off the look with a top coat. For a fun twist, try using two different colors for the base and accent colors. And you can apply polish to half of the nail, then top it off with a quick coat.

Green Nail

This summer, one of the hottest nail trends is green nails. This color is perfect for a summer day spent outdoors. Whether you choose a light green or a dark green, this color will look great on your nails.

One of the best features is that the color and design possibilities are endless. To get the perfect green nail, be sure to use a good quality polish and top coat.

Animal Print

One of the hottest trends this summer is animal print. You can rock this look on your nails by opting for a leopard print or zebra print design.

To get the perfect animal print nail look, start with a base coat of your favorite color. Then, use a small brush to paint on the animal print design. Once you’re happy with the design, apply a top coat to seal it in.

Hot Pink

A post on summer nail trends would not be complete without mentioning hot pink. This color is perfect for the summertime, as it is bright and cheerful.

Hot pink nails are sure to make a statement, so if you are looking for a bold look, this is the color for you. To achieve the perfect hot pink nails, be sure to use a good quality polish. A top coat can also help to prolong the life of your manicure.

Earthy Tones

This summer, ditch the neon polish in favor of more subdued, earthy tones. Nude polishes are always in style, but this season they’re getting an update with a touch of pink or mauve.

For a slightly bolder look, try a light brown or olive green. These colors are perfect for showing off your summer more tanned. Combine a few neutral colors for a muted manicure that has tons of depth.

Multi Colored Nails

This summer, the hottest nail trend is multi colored nails. This look is achieved by painting each nail a different color, or by painting a design with multiple colors. This trend is perfect for summer, as it is bright and fun.

To get this look, start with a base coat of white or light pink. Then, choose two or three colors that you want to use. Paint each nail with one color, then use a different color for the next nail. Repeat until all nails are painted. You can also paint designs on your nails using multiple colors. Be creative and have fun with this trend!

Ombre nails

Ombré nails are all the rage this summer! This two-toned nail trend is perfect for showing off your personality. To get the look, start with a light base color.

Then, use a sponge to apply a darker shade of polish in the center of each nail. Finish with a top coat for extra shine. Ombre Nails are a type of layered manicure that speaks to a seamless, blended color gradient or transition (light to dark or vice versa) more than a specific type of product
