Summer  Nail Trends

Candy-colored nails

We’re leaning into nostalgia here with candy-hued nails reminiscent of your favorite childhood candy. Think Smarties (though whose favorite candy was Smarties? I’d like to know), bubble gum, taffy and the like.

neon nails

We’re still in the nostalgia realm with a doubled-down focus on neon nails for this summer, a trend that’s more Y2K than tearaway pants.

neutral nails

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again: neutrals are always in. But this season, we’re going soooo neutral, it’s like you’re not even wearing polish—the sheerer the better. Gasp!

negative space manicures

A little more expertise is needed for these more complicated manis, but take these to a nail salon for inspo / snag an Olive & June nail art brush set before attempting these on your own. The goal? A clear base with a fun pop of color.

metallics + Glitter nails

All the things that were cool when I was a kid are now cool again. Metallics and glitter nail polish included.

Press-on nails

The last time I tried to do press on nails, I ripped them off after approx 5 hours because I’d put one of them on slightly crooked.  Thankfully, the press ons of today are simpler and easier on your nails.
