1/10
Nudes
A good nude nailpolish goes well with any outfit. This summer opts towards the more pinky nudes to channel your inner ballerina.
Dior Vernis Nail Lacquer in Safari Beige 219, approx. USD24
Butter London Nail Laquer in Yummy Mummy, approx. USD15
FORMULA X translucents in Wondrous, approx. USD11
2/10
Geometric
Fun, Flirty and out of the box... Geometric nails are nothing but hot this season. Although they take a while to do, it is definitely worth it. Simply use nail pen tools to get your desired result.
3/10
Bold Red
Just like nude nailpolish, a bold red never goes out of style - especially with a tanned complexion. Pair it with an all white outfit and you'll be looking hot, hot, hot!
Butter London Lolly Brights Collection in Ladybird, approx. USD15
4/10
Press on nails
Like last season, press on nails are the hot trend. Why waste time and money on a fresh mani when you can get good quality press on nails that you can change whenever you want!
NAILS INC. Crystaltastic Nails in Blue and Gold Foil, Approx. USD19 (on sale)
5/10
Reverse French Manicure
Extremely fun and can be paired with any colour of your choice, the reverse french mani is so easy to do! Experiment with bright colours (yellow and red being our favourite) or tone it down with your favourite neutrals. We think black and white would look pretty cool too!
6/10
Metallic Purple
Ditch your go-to silver chrome polish and opt for something more unexpected. Metallic purple looks good on any skin tone!
Essie Nail Polish in Nothing Else Metals, approx. USD8.50
7/10
Neon
Nothing says summer more than neon nailpolishes! For some added fun, paint each individual nail a different neon colour - this Sephora set has everything you'll need!

Sephora Paint Rio in Neon Nail Set, approx. USD18
8/10
Almond Nails
As seen last season, the almond-shaped nails are making a huge comeback this summer. To really rock the trend, paint your ring finger nail a different colour from the rest (glitter is always a good idea).
9/10
Confetti Nails
Apply a base colour of your choice to your nails (we suggest a neon colour) and then layer coats upon coats of confetti nailpolish...we just can't get enough!
Deborah Lippmann Nail Lacquer - Glitter in Happy Birthday, approx. USD20
10/10
Ombre Nails
Paired with any colours - ombre nails are your ticket to looking on-trend this summer.

Take a look at these 10 awesome nail ideas to keep you looking trendy, all summer long!

As we all start to get ready for our dreamy island getaways for the summer, there is one thing we can’t forget – our nails! Just like clothes, nail trends change every season too … and this time, the colour palettes and designs are more vibrant than ever.

No, that doesn’t mean expensive visits to the nail salon (although, a pampering session once in a while couldn’t hurt anyone). We have rounded down the top 10 nail trends for this summer that will keep you looking in tip-top shape as you hit up VIP beach parties and romantic candlelight dates.
