Colours of the summer
Buttery Yellow
This just in... Yellows are the new summer neutral.
You heard us right - for the girlies that often shy away from colour, this option might be for YOU! You may be a fan of the french tip effect, but if not, a simple all over look is definetly sweet. Go ahead and embrace the sunny vibes with yellow nails. 🌼
Ocean Blue
Now, blue can often seem like an intimidating colour if you aren't used to it. But we just can't get enough! It really is like having a piece of the beach at your fingertips, who doesn't LOVE that? You can always opt for a cute pastel blue, or, if you are feeling like matching the deep blue sea go for a darker shade! Whatever matches your vibe best, you'll rock them either way ! 🌊
Bright Orange
A timeless summer classic. The colour that's going to elevate your summer glow! Orange has got you covered this holiday season. If you love a sunset as much as we do, this colour will be for you - you'll resemble all those hot summer evenings sitting with your pals having a BBQ or even embody those tropical vibes on your vacay to Barbados! We would be ever so jealous.. 🌴
Bikini Pink
As Barbie said.. and PINK! Goes with everything 🎶 A colour that you'll slay all year round. A stand out option for all you confident guys and girlies! You'll be sure to emit all that fun party energy. Whether you are going bottomless brunching , boat tripping or dancing the night away, your nails will still be the topic of conversation! Embrace that pink 💗
Lets talk designs
KEEPING IT FRUITY!
Who said food on your nails wasn't cute? We love this vibe! The brightest Spanish lemons and the juciest Italian cherries! Transporting you to the lushest Europe destinations. A playful and classy look, yet so effective. Giving your nails a pop of colour in the most elegant but fun way! We love these little fruit designs mixed with a French tip detail. Don't worry though - you are not just limited to cherries and lemons.. why not try oranges, strawberries or even watermelon! All of these really bring the summer vibes to your fingertips. Carrying around a slice of summer everywhere you go... IMMACULATE! Now i'm hungry 🍉
FLOWER POWER
Now, this might be the cutest summer design yet! Spring has sprung and now you're in the height of summer, flowers all around. Floral designs are cheerful and bright, capturing that sunny day aura. Incorporate delicate petals, romatic roses, playful sunflowers or a funky mixture into your design. The hibiscus flower is also a HOT trend we've been seeing lately! So grab yourself some sun cream and channel your inner Island vibe with this look, bringing the Tropical hemisphere to you at home. 🌺
THE EVIL EYE
Warn off the negative energy this summer with an Evil Eye look. This look is often for the blue lovers, but you can always go for a simple look (as seen on the right)! Those vibrant blues reminding you of those clear skies and warm waters. Now.. If you aren't used to having designs on your nails either, this will be the perfect first step as it's often designed small and won't overwhelm you opting for a change! Summer of 2024 is all for the carefree vibes. Now girls and guys, grab yourself an iced coffee (decaf or not!) and get ready to soak up those compliments you'll get from this look. 🧿
ITS GIVING AURA
The aura nail trend is here to stay for Summer 24 and we think it's super CUTE! Especially if you are mixing pinks and orange, your really emitting those sunset vibes! This design is simply dreamyyy. A trend that grew on tiktok with over 95 million views under #auranails...that speaks for itself! A little tip if you believe more is more, add white lines, swirls or sparkles and stars to this look to maximize that aura! Often bright and colourful, this design will radiate positive sunshine energy and is definitley an option for you astrology lovers out there! You'll look out of this world 🎇
Perfect nail shapes for holiday
ROUNDED
A natural and classy option this summer. Rounded is a great nail shape that will suit all designs, whether you've gone for lemons or flowers. For you lovely lot who aren't the biggest fan of long nails, the rounded nail is perfect when short. And who said comfort wasn't imporant? Not us! Comfy vibes, happy lives.
SQUARE
Embrace your inner chic with square nails. The smooth cut line is seriously sophisticated! This nail shape will look great with both long and short nails. Extremley verstaile, YAY! This shape is pretty easy to maintain, especially during your holiday, but pack your emery board in your beach bag just incase! Got to keep that edge clean!
ALMOND
The perfect mix of stylish and modern. The sharper tip is bound to add some sass to your look. We think the almond shape often better suits a longer length. Giving you that elongated look to your fingers! Fierce and cute! Deffo slightly less scary than a stiletto shape but still adds a little fire to your fingertips.
Happy Holidays
I don't know about you, but I feel the need to book some flights! I am ready for a holiday... So hopefully you are now bursting with inspiration for your nail looks this summer. We sure are! If you do recreate any of the above or fancy putting your own spin on them, we would LOVE to see some pics!
