SUMMER NAILS

It is officially summer, the season of sandals and short sleeves. With our nails being out more than before, a manicure and pedicure are essential parts of summer self-care. In the salon, the exorbitant amount of colors can be overwhelming to choose from on the spot. These summer nail trends are chic, stylish and take the guesswork out of picking the perfect mani.

Chrome:

Chrome is officially here to stay and is absolutely perfect for every season. Chrome can come in many different colors, but to really get the full summer effect try a pearly white color to channel this summer’s mermaid-core trend.

Bright Red:

Classic, elegant, and fun bright red is always a perfect choice when it comes to picking out a color at the salon. There's a reason why red nails never go out of style, this attention-grabbing shade is notoriously symbolic of confidence, love, and power and pairs with just about anything. Heat up your summer and embrace the power of a sleek red nail.

Vibrant Pastels:

Vibrant shades of pastel are this year's alternative to neons. These sorbet hues are the perfect way to add bright colors to your summer aesthetic without going too bright and extreme. With being more subdued they are wonderful to experiment with various nail art trends that you have always wanted to try. The subtle pops of color will pair perfectly with any summer occasion.

Aura:

"Aura" is a Latin word that translates to "air" in English, and is often used to describe the energy surrounding an individual. This whimsical nail trend is created by starting with a base color and consists of gradients of blended shades to create a hazy, blurry effect. The blend of polishes gives the nail art a dimensional element that really stands out.

Barbie Pink vs Ballet Pink:

To be Barbie-core or Ballet-core, that is the question. With these pinks, you can’t go wrong with either one. Ballet-core nails typically consist of baby pinks and softer tints of color in lieu of the bright pops of pink that are synonymous with Barbie-core. The vibrant Barbie pinks are going to be everywhere this summer and are reminiscent of the whimsy of summers as a kid.

Modern French Tips

Forget the classic white French tips, switch it up by using color on the tips instead. With the French tip style, you can get as creative as you want and it is still bound to look good. Try playing with negative space tips, two-toned nails, or multiple colors on the tips, the possibilities are endless.

In addition to these nail color trends, nail shapes are heading in a more natural direction with squared-off, short and natural, and almond shapes. When visiting the salon this summer, you are sure to leave with fabulous nails that people will continue to compliment.
