The beauty of this year\u2019s nail trends<\/a> is that they work regardless of the weather. Take the versatile \u201cno-makeup\u201d makeup manicure<\/a>, shimmering pixie dust nails<\/a> or chrome French tips<\/a>, for example, all of which have proven timeless. And while minimalist manicures have ruled thanks to their classic color palettes, summer always brings bolder, head-turning nail looks.<\/p>\n

Whether you love a pared-back Californian beach vibe or a heatwave-worthy riot of brights, this summer\u2019s hottest nail trends are undeniably fun. Ahead, we caught up with our favorite nail experts and top manicurists to bring you their predictions for 11 of the very best summer nail trends to try once the sunshine hits.<\/p>\n

Pastel hues are a staple for summer, but they\u2019re about to get even cooler. \u201cInspired by ocean hues and breezy holiday vibes, pale icy blue is a contemporary color choice for summer 2025,\u201d says session manicurist Ami Streets<\/a>. While blue might sound bold, it\u2019s surprisingly fresh and subtle when worn all over like this color block manicure by manicurist Rayhana Osman<\/a>. Streets recommends Chanel Le Vernis Nail Color in 125 Muse, $33<\/a>, as \u201ca beautiful powder blue that\u2019s perfect for summer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Originating in Korea and Japan, the jelly nail trend has been slowly emerging as one to watch \u2014 and it recently exploded on social media when Hailey Bieber stepped out in her own jelly manicure<\/a> at Coachella this year. Defined by its slightly translucent finish and playful color palette (often combined with 3D details), jelly nails are fun and fresh. We love this pink-toned marble set by Paris-based nail artist @camillegdzle58.<\/a><\/p>\n

For the minimalists among us, manicurist and Bio Sculpture top tech Julia Diogo<\/a> predicts there will still be a space for nudes this summer: \u201cA creamy, whipped vanilla is perfect for summer as it gives off the most amazing sunset hues in certain lights while still being neutral,\u201d she explains. Her color pick? Bio Sculpture\u2019s Vanilla Skyline, $14.50<\/a>, as seen in this chic set by manicurist Amy Burvill.<\/a><\/p>\n

Micro nail art will continue to be hugely popular for summer, and session and celebrity manicurist Sophia Stylianou<\/a> thinks that polka dots will be everywhere. \u201cSmall polka dots are a great way to begin adding more playful color to your manicure,\u201d she explains. This set by Studio Bloom<\/a> takes two breakout shades of the year \u2014 butter yellow<\/a> and mocha mousse<\/a> \u2014 and elevates them for the season ahead with a dotty design.<\/p>\n

Green nails<\/a> took off in spring and will continue to do so, but it\u2019s avocado in particular that nail artist Carmelina (aka @hicarmelina<\/a>) is most excited by. \u201cAvocado green, especially when used for French tips, has that fresh \u2018cool-girl\u2019 twist and works perfectly with sun-kissed skin,\u201d she explains. Recreate this double French look by digital creator Mateja Novakovic<\/a> with Mancurist\u2019s Nail Polish in Sweet Pea, $14<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bookmark the British manicure as one you\u2019ll be seeing everywhere this summer. \u201cIt\u2019s\u00a0a modern, more natural take on the classic French manicure,\u201d explains Rebecca Crawforth, founder of nail tools brand Navy Professional<\/a>. \u201cSoft, clean and effortlessly polished, it\u2019s about sheer, healthy-looking nails with a subtle tip.\u201d Recreate this beautifully simple nail look by Lucy Rebecca<\/a> with a coat of sheer pink polish like Essie\u2019s Nail Polish in Mademoiselle, $10<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Coastal accents and beachy vibes make for a fresh and breezy option for summer. \u201cI\u2019ve noticed a huge increase in requests for tiny nail art and 3D detail, like tiny seashells and sea creatures, which are accents you can\u2019t go wrong with,\u201d says Carmelina. Nail tech Hannah Leong<\/a>\u2018s starfish set combines hand-painted details with powder blue tips and a beautiful shell texture.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Color blending techniques like marbling, gradient, and aura nails<\/a> are ideal for summer, but Streets has ombr\u00e9 bookmarked as the hottest option. \u201cEffortlessly blending pastel shades in a soft ombr\u00e9 gradient creates a delicate sun-kissed effect that feels light, airy, and totally on-trend,\u201d says Streets. Nail creator Anahi Victoria<\/a> uses a blend of sunset-inspired shades for this dreamy look.<\/p>\n

While neon hues won\u2019t be everyone\u2019s cup of tea, there\u2019s something about a Day-Glo manicure that truly marks the arrival of sunshine season. If you\u2019re not sure about a block color, go for a micro French tip in a brighter-than-bright shade, but if you want to make a statement, then a fluoro green (like Julia Diogo<\/a>\u2019s kiwi manicure) ticks all the boxes. Recreate it with Sally Hansen\u2019s Insta-Dri Syrup Nail Polish in The Drizz, $7.99<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While metallics traditionally tend to dominate as a fall and winter trend, Diogo predicts they will translate well to summer nail looks, too: \u201cI love to keep things micro when it comes to nail art, so touches of chrome are nice for a minimal yet summer-focused look,\u201d she explains. We\u2019ll be rushing to recreate this pastel and chrome combination by N\u2019DAO Shoreditch<\/a> at our next trip to the salon.<\/p>\n

Last but by no means least, this year\u2019s hottest nail color \u2014 butter yellow \u2014 will continue to be on everyone\u2019s nails for summer. Streets rates it for its \u201csoft, chic, and effortlessly fresh\u201d finish. It plays nicely with a multitude of nail art designs, too. This one by Laktalk nail salon<\/a> screams summer with its mermaid textures and shell embellishments.\u00a0<\/p>\n
