With summer just around the corner, there is no better time than now to revitalize your look by covering those nails in bright & fun designs. From taking a trip to the beach, in order to tying your very best summertime wedding ceremony and party appearance, summer months are just about all regarding sunscreen lotion as well as nails that you would like so that they can do when using of course sun-drenched day. Luckily for you, this guide has everything — from the hottest trends of summer 2020 nails to color inspirations and nail care.
Summer Nail Trends
Bright and Bold Colors
In summer, everything comes favourably alive in vivid colors. Neon pinks, electric blues, and sunny yellows spring to mind. Such bright shades will not only give new life to your appearance but also symbolise the energy and pleasure of summer. Choose a bright coral or fuchsia for high impact that can be worn with your summer wardrobe.
Pastel Shades
If you’d rather something more subtle, go for pastels. Cool pastels work for an elegant and effortless touch — soft mint greens, lavender & baby pinks instead. The great thing about pastel nails is that you can wear them just as well for casual outings, or even with evening gowns.
Tropical Patterns
Get Tropical With Fun Nail Art Ideas Reaching The Top Of Your Fingertips! With palm leaves, hibiscus flowers and pineapple designs are all great to add a little summer detail on your nails. Get the look using nail stickers or hand-painting your design at home.
French Twist
Bright tips or whimsical accents take the classic French manicure into summer. Try aqua blue or sunny yellow for a fresh twist on this timeless style.
Glitter and Metallics
My favourite shades are glitter for the perfect touch without going overboard, and metallics to make a statement in your summer evening or next big event. The shiny silver and gold hues create a beautiful glimmer, while the holographic sparkles really shine when struck with bright light (but honestly, this will work great even in dimly lit shake joints!)
Minimalistic Designs
And finally to the more minimalist of us, well, minimalistic nail art is in. Small dots, fine lines and complex designs come to mind. This is an ideal style for someone that wants a modern, elegant look without getting caught up in any flashiness.
Nail Care Tips for Summer
Stay Hydrated
Our nails also need to be hydrated the same way our skin does. Two: Hydrate, hydrate and hydrates more—you should be drinking a ton of water—and keep those hands full of luxurious hand creams to ensure healthy nails/cuticles.
Defend Your Nails Against UV Damage
The sun can make your nails fragile and soft.Metadata Be sure to apply sunscreen on your hands and nails! It also might help to use gloves for keeping out in the sun.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Chlorine and saltwater, however they might sanitise/soften your nail, will dry out damage them. A layer of clear nail polish before swimming can protect nails from damaging elements.
Regular Maintenance
Trim and shape your nails to avoid breakage. Wash old polish off frequently and maintain strong, healthy nails by using a strengthener.
Try Using Breather Nail Polish
Use nail polishes that will allow your nails to breathe. Conventional nail paints can result in suffocating your nails, eventually causing their colour to change or even worse getting damaged. Opt for breathable [or] nontoxic alternatives to keep your nails healthy.
DIY Summer Nail Art Ideas
Watermelon Nails
Make your nails fun and fruity with a watermelon design! My color story: bright pink polish for the base, a green tip to represent rind and black dots as seeds.
Sunset Ombre
Ombre DesignSummer sunsets are beautiful, capture them the best way you can! Create a sunset sky gradient by blending orange, pink and purple colors.
Palm Tree Silhouettes
Paint black oder dark green palm silhouettes over the neutral base. Simple and giving you that summer tropical vibe.
Rainbow Stripes
Just in time for summer: the most playful striped nails ever. Tape off thin strips of the project, then paint each strip as an alternating color stripe to create a colorful pattern.
Ocean Waves
Get wave-inspired nails that mimic the ocean. Mix the colors of blue and white to give a swirling appearance like sea waves.
FAQs About Summer Nails
Q: How to make your nail polish go the distance?
A : Start with a base coat that will help stop those evil polishes from staining and improve their adhesion. Use a lighter, thinner coat of paint followed by the thicker application for finish and protection against sun damage. Do not use nails to open the lid, which damages them and scrape.
Q: Can I apply the usual nail polish on my toes in summer?
A: Absolutely! Regular nail polish for the pedicure. No more bandage drama thanks to nail stick — just make sure that you base coat and topcoat it well so your pedi hangs on as long as possible. This is particularly true on the toenails, as women tend to favour brighter colours and dressier styles during this season.
Q: What is the hardest nail polish to take off?
Dip a cotton ball into nail polish remover and set it onto your fingernail to make the process easier. Cover your finger with some aluminium foil and make sure the cotton ball inside sits easily — leave for 10 min. Next, gently rub the cotton ball over the glitter.
Q: Are there any summer nail trends you should steer clear of?
A: Trends may vary and all is relative, its a crews choice but…try to avoid strictly darks or anything heavy when it doesn’t fit the light & airy vibe of summer. Other than that, make sure your nail designs are comfortable and practical for you in daily activities.
Q: How do I keep my nails from becoming brittle during the summer?
A; Make sure to keep moisturised and prevent from being in the sun, chlorine or salt water. If you have to, use a nail strengthener and eat healthy for nails.
Q. Can you give some easy beginner summer nail designs?
A: I think simple look best and is able on everyone. Things as polka dots or stripes, ombre etc. Nail stickers or stamps, on the other hand can give your nails a level of professionalism without needing much if any skill at all.
