No matter what time of the year it is, one thing for sure is that we are always looking forward to the warm months. While the snow is a thing of the past, we can dive into all the fun colors and designs we will be sporting this season. For the summer months, experts predict bright hues, chunky textures, and designs that will take you back to the Y2K era.
Whether you like coffin nails or prefer to keep a short length, this season’s nail art trends will guarantee you spark inspiration.
Skittle Nails
These are the perfect nails for those who can’t decide which color to go for. You can fully experiment with these nails and go for different tones on all nails or the same hues and similar color groups.
Airbrushed Nails
If you want to travel back in time, this is the look for you!
This popular Y2K style is taking over all social media. The key is to create the design with gel paint and a hand-held airbrush spray to seamlessly spray the polish on the nails.
Textured Nails
This season, you have free rein to match your favorite garment to your nails thanks to the textured manicure trend. Embrace the trend with embellishments, decals, different patterns, negative space, and more.
Velvet Nails
Fuzzy, textured velvet nails are a top summer pick. You can elevate the look by adding foil, textured glitter or stones.
Ombre Nails
A nail art classic, ombre nails use a gradient technique to blend in two different shades, either in the same color palette or opposite. The key is to create a seamless balance of the two hues.
Chrome Nails
Last year, many celebrities started showing off chormed nails on social media. Since then, many variations on the look have gone viral and the style is still going strong for this season. Silver, bronze, metallic, milky white — chrome nails in any color are sure to turn heads.
Micro French
If you’re looking to move away from long coffin-shaped nails, micro French manicures are on the rise this summer. This style can be done with neutral colors, simple designs, or maximalist embellishments.
Half Moon Nails
Half-moon nails are the simple nail trend experiencing a recent resurgence. As the name implies, it involves painting a single color (or an outline) over the lunula. Make it pop by adding the same design as a French tip.
