The top nail trends for summer – what’s hot and on trend? There are some really great colors and styles that are popular for summer. I’m seeing a lot of classic, muted colors, but also a lot of bold, bright styles as well.
Nail Polish
There are a variety of colors that are trending now. Nudes and neutrals were popular on the runway this year. Charli, a nail tech in Burbank, CA, says that many of her clients are asking for soft pinks and peaches for the summer.
This nude color from OPI, called Mimosas for Mr. and Mrs. is a wonderful color and will look well on all skin tones. You can order it online at Amazon here: Opi Nail Lacquer, Mimosas for Mr and Mrs, 0.5 Fluid Ounce

I love this gorgeous color, Suede, from Jamberry Nails. It’s a perfect cross between nude and pink, with a slight shimmer. It’s a professional grade polish, which means the formula is creamy and goes on smoothly, not streaky. The best part, though, is that Jamberry nail polishes are 5-Free, which means they are free from the top 5 harmful chemicals that you’ll find in most nail polishes. You can order it here.
Bold colors are also popular as well. Natalia, from the Polished Polyglot, loves yellows, corals, bright teals and mint.
This gorgeous color is called, Amazon, and is a wonderful bright, bold teal. Jamberry’s line of polishes go on smooth and creamy. The are also free from the five most harmful chemicals found in most nail polishes. You can order it here.
Matte nail polish or matte top coats are really beginning to gain in popularity. It’s a fun break from the glossy manicure and add an edgy look to your nails.
Nail Art
Kathy, a former salon owner and nail tech who blogs at AskTheNailTech.com, says that negative space manicures are very popular for the summer. Negative space manicures leave a portion of your nail bare, with a design around it. You can get so creative with this. Here are some really great examples that can be easy to duplicate.
Another great trend is so simple and easy – glitter. You can get so creative, though! You can apply glitter to your entire nail, to just the tips or the base of your nails…whatever you prefer! You can use fine glitter or glitter with bigger pieces in it. Here are some beautiful examples.
Even though glitter can look incredible on your nails, we all know it can be difficult to remove from your nails! Here are some beautiful glitter nail wrap options. I love these because you can simply remove the nail wrap instead of trying to get all that glitter off your nails with polish remover. And, the glitter nail wraps never dull or fade so you’re going to have gorgeous, glittery nails for weeks!
This is called Berry Sparkler and can be ordered here.
