As summer approaches, the excitement surrounding seasonal nail colors reaches new heights. While many enthusiasts focus on selecting shades that complement their skin tones, it’s important to remember that personal preference reigns supreme when it comes to manicures and pedicures. This summer, the mantra is simple: feel free to choose any color that resonates with you.
Summer is often a time for exploration and creativity. From vibrant jelly nails to more subdued tones, there is a wide array of options available to express your individuality this season.
Here are nine nail colors predicted to trend as the temperatures rise, along with insights into each choice:
Tomato Red
Is another “tomato girl summer” on the horizon? Celebrity nail artist Jin Soon Choi believes so. She describes her love for a hot orange-red hue with a translucent finish, which embodies the vibrant spirit of summer. For a striking tomato red, options like Hermès Les Mains Nail Polish in Orange Poppy or Dazzle Dry in Red Hot Chili are excellent choices. For those wanting a deeper red with orange undertones, Addiction Tokyo’s Tokyo Vibe offers a perfect solution.
Latte Beige
If you prefer understated elegance, a latte beige is your best bet. Nail artist Goldstein points to Chanel’s Le Vernis in Légende, a creamy tan that complements a range of looks. For a slightly richer tone, consider Olive & June’s Long Lasting Polish in Caramel Budino. Alternatively, Dior Vernis in 402 Cashmere features neutrals that still stand out.
Yellow Taxi
In New York, summer brings the vibrant energy of yellow taxis. This season’s chic yellow celebrates the lively spirit of urban life. Celebrity nail stylist Kandalec emphasizes its playful charm. Recreate this look with Jinsoon’s Tweety or explore options like Londontown’s Mango, and Hermès Les Mains in Jaune Impérial. For a unique take, try Habit Cosmetics in Yellow.
Capri Blue
The enchanting hues of Capri are encapsulated in a bright blue nail polish. Nguyen suggests this color is perfect for summer days. Products like Nails Inc.’s Seabright Street Neon Light and Zoya’s Breezi showcase this stunning and vibrant color scheme.
Silver Chrome
Often associated with winter, silver chrome is making waves this summer. Choi argues that it adds a modern touch to nail designs. She recommends Jin Soon’s Halo for a sheer silver finish or Nails Inc.’s Wherever I May Chrome for a more metallic look. If you’re after a striking shimmer, try OPI’s Go Big or Go Chrome.
Montecito Mani
Inspired by Meghan Markle, the “Montecito Manicure” is predicted to become a top summer choice. Celebrity nail artist Julie Kandalec notes this look features a combination of glossy whites and pinks. Consider CND’s Vinylux Satin Slipper for the base and Romantique for layering, or popular classics like Essie’s Ballet Slippers.
Lilac Jelly
This trend continues to thrive through summer, with the translucent jelly nail look becoming increasingly popular. Kandalec suggests a pastel lilac for a refreshing style reminiscent of celebrity styles seen at events like Coachella. For a DIY-inspired finish, consider using GAOY Jelly Gel Nail Polish Kit.
Pistachio Green
Kandalec champions pistachio green as a lively summer choice, perfect for adding a fun twist to any nail look. Suggested options include Light Lacquer’s Bikini Bottoms, Manicurist Paris’s Pistachio Green, or O.P.I.’s The Pass Is Always Greener.
Aqua Shimmer
Finally, the mesmerizing cat-eye nail look in aqua blue brings a bold statement to summer nail art. For example, try Olive & June’s Aqua Velvet for a shimmering finish.
