1 Narrative  

Although the clean, classic style has been popular lately, this nail trend allows you to showcase your creativity. Each nail can be unique, and together they tell a beautiful story. Follow the example of Wicked star Cynthia Erivo, who is renowned for her diverse array of maximalist nails. Think bold colours, shimmery studs, drawings of your favourite cartoon characters in various textures. Let your nails tell a story with this fun summer nail design.

2 Bejewelled  

Who said jewellery was reserved for the skin? Some nail lovers are even sporting nail piercings! While this nail style might seem suited for the more edgy and daring nail enthusiasts, you can blend different aesthetics while staying on trend. A cute teardrop charm hanging at the tip of your nail, diamond-like rhinestones, pearl studs, delicate chains or even gems patterned across the surface – there’s something for everyone.  

 

3 Classic nails…with a twist 

We’ve loved soap nails and glazed donut nails for the past few seasons – and now, the cat-eye manicure is taking centre stage. So why choose between timeless and trendy when you can have both? This look combines the clean girl aesthetic with the captivating shimmer of cat-eye glamour, and honestly… we’re obsessed. 

4 Polka dots 

The itty-bitty line trend, and the plaid pattern nail art showed off how clean lines can lift a look. Now, we’re in our dotty era – and we plan to stay here for a while! Go bold with a bright blue polka-dot pattern on a red base coat. For a simpler, more classic look, try neutral nails with black, white or coloured polka dots — or do a black-and-white French manicure with polka-dotted tips. It’s simple but nostalgic and quirky! 

5 Candy colours 

Summer wouldn’t be summer without colour! And with the sweetness of the season, colours like butter yellow, peachy orange, powdery blues and popping pinks add just the right touch of sugar — reminiscent of an inviting popsicle on a blissful beach day or cloudy candyfloss.
