5 Summer Nail Arts You HAVE To Try!

Summer is all about bright colors, fresh vibes, and playful designs! I love the summer season for nail arts. Whether you’re heading to the beach, a summer party, or just want your nails to match the sunshine, or maybe your sundress, these five nail art ideas will get you in the summer spirit. ☀️💅

1. Fruit Inspired Nail Art - Watermelon & Cucumber 🍉🥒

Juicy fruits are one of my favourite things about summer. And I love me a matching refreshing nailart! Try watermelon nails with a red base, green tips, and tiny black seeds for a fun, refreshing look. If you prefer something more subtle, cucumber-inspired nails with soft green tones and translucent details create a cool, spa-like effect. Both designs are easy to recreate and perfect for summer

2. Neon Nail Art – Bright & Bold ⚡🌈

Summer screams neons like no other! Whether you go for a full neon manicure or mix different neon colors for swirls or abstract design, these electric hues are perfect for pool parties and summer festivals. You can pretty much anything with neons and have the most fun!

3. Sunset Ombre Nails – Summer Skies on Your Fingertips 🌅

Capture the beauty of summer sunsets with an ombré effect blending warm pinks, and oranges. This dreamy gradient looks stunning with a glossy finish or a hint of shimmer. For extra flair, you can add some trees as well! But I like it simple.

4. Cutesy Floral Nails – Playful & Pretty 🌸🌼

Floral nails are timeless, and summer is the perfect time to go for soft, pastel or bright and colorful cute flowers . Try a mix of tiny floral patterns on a nude base for a delicate look, or go bold with colorful flowers over a bright background, or maybe go for a summer-dream meadow with white flowers under bright blue sky. Floral nails will go with any occasion and any mood.

5. Bright Color Abstract Nails– Funky & Playful 🎨💫

Abstract nails are always super fun to do, and they are EASY af too! You can literally play around with them so much. You can do no tool swirls, or maybe a French tip with a bright and funky twist? Everything you do will look great I am telling you! Just go for it.
