Summer Nail Art Inspiration

If you’re anything like me, you spend the cold months wishing summer would hurry up! I emerge from my winter PJ’s blinking in the sunlight ready for road trips, parties, BBQ’s and all the good times summer brings.

While we all have personal preferences when it comes to our nails, they are the best way to experiment with the latest looks and fashion. Trends are often so fleeting, however there is no need to spend thousands updating your wardrobe which just adds to the ever growing problem of textile waste. Experimenting with your nails the most cost effective and environmentally friendly way to stay on trend as well as a safe way to experiment with bold and exciting new looks.

When considering your summer look, think about your favourite activities. If you love to lounge on the beach with a good book a longer nail may suit your aesthetic. If you’re more sporty and can’t wait to paddle board and get involved with summer team games, a funky short nail will suit you perfectly. 

With neons, nail art, dipping, gel, acrylics, and every colour you can imagine available the potential goes as far as your imagination takes it. Below we’ve included some of our fave summery looks.

These short nails look perfect in contrasting pastel tones – not to mention that pastels are big this summer! 

If you love a long nail, try a neutral tone with a colourful tip for a flirty summer look.

Themed nails are so much fun, especially if they match a specific outfit or occasion. Love this cute nautical theme. Ideal for a day out on the boat.

This pastel ombre is looks amazing on clients of all ages and will certainly be noticed.

This metallic citrus splash is fresh, yet decadent look. We love it!

What’s your fave nail look this season? Let us know!
