The summer is the one time that I almost always have my nails done. When you’re in a super cute swimsuit at the beach with a straw hat and rocking a nice tan, gorgeous summer nails really complete the look.

The great thing about doing your nails is that you can try out fun seasonal summer nail designs! And this summer, there are some really cool looks.

Nail trends don’t change a ton from year to year, but there are crucial small differences. A few years ago, stark white nails were not in; last year, white was the color over 85% of women were wearing during the warmer months.

Blue nails in the summer truly remind me of beaches and beautiful oceans. And these particular summer nails are just the perfect design for blue summer nail colors! The wavy patterns on each accent nail just make me think of beach waves and the sound of the ocean as you go for a stroll around the shore.

If you’re unsure of what kind of summer nails to do next, you can always try florals. It’s a simple design that’s wearable every day. Opt for dainty flower patterns for a more feminine vibe. As for summer nail colors, I suggest picking bright shades like yellow, blue, and red, especially during the summer season!

I love matte finishes on a manicure. They just look so chic and they’re such a refreshing change of pace from the usual satin or glossy finish.

The dainty swirl patterns give it a more unique touch too!

Green is an ideal summer color too! But it’s also a versatile color that can fit almost any season all year long. I suggest opting for a sage green shade for a chicer and more sophisticated look on your nails. These summer nail designs are simple but chic and are trending this year.

I usually reserve pastel shades for the spring, but they also look great as summer nail colors too! They give your nails this soft and feminine touch that’s ideal for daily wear. If you’re not into bold and bright colors, go pastel!

The blend of white and a little bit of silver looks so chic and sophisticated.

Whether you want them casual or for formal occasions and events, you can never go wrong with white!

While nails especially look great with a tan and add an important extra element to any outfit.

Make sure to apply either before you do your nails, especially if they’re a light color!
