Summer is here and it’s time to switch up your nail design to reflect the seasonal fun! Whether you like a simple look or want to keep up with the current nail trends (like jelly, chrome, aura nails, or velvet cat eye designs), we’ve got lots of summer nail design inspo to keep your eye-catching manicure looking fresh from the pool to the beach.
Whether you prefer long nails or short nails, there are so many ways to add some spring inspiration to your nail game—from dainty looks perfect for summer weddings, bright neon colors, twists on a classic French tip, tie-dye, or summertime beach-inspired designs, you can request your favorite idea to do in gel polish at your local salon or find the perfect press-on nail to DIY your mani at home.
At home summer nails vs. salon nails:
While you can do so many manicure looks at home now with gel manicure kits, it can be a little intimidating to some who are not as steady with their hands or just generally prefer the pampered experience at their local nail salon.
While gel polish manicures will generally last longer than traditional polish (usually 2-3 weeks for a gel manicure), there are traditional polish brands that boast several weeks of wear from their products and you don’t have the longer gel removal process at home if you choose to take off your own polish.
Some of the trickier techniques like chrome or magnetic polish also might be a little easier in the hands of a professional, but if you have a gel nail kit at home, they are looks that are fun to try and master.
Of course, doing a press-on nail is the easiest way to get your perfect summer style at home by yourself, so there’s no shame in finding your favorite look and grabbing your nail glue.
