What’s even better than having an ice cold cocktail in your hand? Having a fresh mani to show off at the same time. The summer nails trends are in and if TikTok has anything to say about it (and obviously, TikTok has a lot to say about it), there are two themes emerging: minimal and milky or fun, colourful and experimental. Summer screen flicks are also impacting beauty trends, which is why you’ll be seeing a ton of Barbiecore pinks (courtesy of the Barbie movie hype) and shimmery mermaidcore chromes in aquatic shades that make a splash or shell-like pearlescent finishes (we can credit the new Little Mermaid for adding to our obsession). Plus, one shade in particular is getting a lot of attention…Can you guess which?
Whatever your mood, there’s a design for you, and to help you along, we’ve edited some of our favourite summer nails below…

Hailey Bieber helped put glazed donut nails on the map, but now she’s moved on from her milky chrome mani with spring and summer remixes. Heading into the warmer weather, brighter glazed neons like these lemonade nails will trend. “Chromes have been around for a while but they’re definitely going anywhere with more and more detail paints and colours becoming available,” confirms The Gel Bottle’s nail pro, Ella Burgess.
