Absolutely Gorgeous Summer Nail Polishes You Need to Try RN

21 Aug, 2018

Summer is on the horizon and we are so ready to swap all the black and moody tones in our wardrobe for happy colour and pretty prints, and the same goes for our makeup bags. Pack away your basic nudes and subtle shades because this summer is about making a splash with colour.

In terms of nail colour, this season is about bright and bold primary tones, pretty pops of pastel and for the less playful amongst us, neutrals but with a cool, modern edge.

Summertime means less stockings and boots and more peep-toes and sandals so don’t you dare neglect the pedicure when painting your nails. Use the same colour on both fingers and toes for a chic and put-together look, or mix and match with complementary shades within each trend to make a cute statement.

Here are the three biggest nail trends to try out as the days get warmer and you want your nails to look cute for that Instagram of you holding an ice cream…

Crayola Brights

This season we’re updating our makeup bags with shades from our pencil cases. Bright colours are going to be everywhere; think electric blue, bold red, shocking pink, sunshine yellow and shades of orange that look good enough to drink.

The 80s are back too, but we’re not talking shoulder pads or perms. The peppy shade of pink that dominated the scene in the 80s is having a moment; think Madonna in her prime.

Our product picks: Essie Gel Couture Nail Lacquer - Looks To Thrill, Naillusion Nail Polish - Moody Mood, Sinful Colors Sinful Shine Nail Polish – Bananappeal, Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Nail Polish - With Her Red and Morgan Taylor Nail Lacquer - Manga Round With Me.

Pastel Attack

It’s hard to name a more iconic duo than pastel shades and spring days. If statement nails are not your thing then update your nail polish collection with feminine and pretty muted tones.

Blue nails can be hard to pull off but the periwinkle shade that is having a moment right now looks amazing on all skin tones. Other pastels you need to try are a minty green, pale yellow, a warm pink, and an icy lavender, which was seen on almost every runway this spring.

Our product picks: Essie Nail Lacquer – Lilacism, Michelle Ori Nail Polish – Mint, Essence The Gel Nail Polish - Electric Blue, Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Nail Polish - Pinky Promise and Rimmel 60 Seconds Nail Enamel - Daisy Days.

New Neutrals

The neutrals of this season are modern takes on classic shades. Think white with a subtle yellow undertone that gives an ivory feel, using cream instead of white for your French manicure, gorgeous but subtle metallics and nudes with a slightly pink hue to them.

If you want to use a neutral with a bit of shimmer in it just apply one layer. It will add interest without making too-bold a statement.

Our product picks: Sinful Colors Sinful Shine Gel Nail Polish – Prosacco, Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy Nail Enamel - Beginners Luck, OPI Nail Lacquer - Int'l Crime Caper, Morgan Taylor Nail Lacquer - Prim Rose And Proper and Morgan Taylor Nail Lacquer - Tan My Hide.
