Colorful Summer Nails Ideas

Summer is the season of bright and juicy colors, and that goes not only to outfits or accessories but also to hair colors and nails. If you want to add color to your look, you can do it with your manicure, and the ideas we’ve gathered are the trendiest and will fit almost any taste.

Colorful Summer Nails

The easiest way to bring some color to your looks is to rock super bright colors on your nails: fuchsia, orange, hot pink, emerald, blue, red and so on, anything summer-inspired will do! Matte or glossy, long or short, bright summer manicures will always be in trend. If you want something more eye-catching, these can be colorful French manicures, or at least ones with bright tips – that’s another trend, or ombre nails that are classics. Try mismatching colors on your hands, for example, hot pink on one hand and bold blue on the other. Nude nails paired with colorful tips done with polka dots are one more super cool idea, not in your face.
