It’s summer 2025 and everything is bright, lively and makes a lot of noise. If you’re looking for a fun nail look that looks great on tanned skin, we’ve got you covered. This year’s summer nail trends are bright, bold, creative and give a fun twist to basic nail designs. Whether you’re into pink, green, blue, or bold acrylic mixes, these cute nail ideas will inspire your next salon visit—or DIY session at home. Ready to explore the best of the 2025 trends?
Hot-Pink Meets Lemonade Geometry
This summer nail idea for 2025 is about making a statement without creating chaos. The main feature is a bright pink French tip and a single yellow accent adds a cool V-tip design that feels very 2025. You can tell there’s a certain confidence, since the look is strong enough to stand on its own. The shape is ballerina square, the base is sheer and nearly invisible and the difference? Electric. Here’s how to use bright acrylic colors with style and flair.
I usually rely on gel polish to get a statement look that lasts a long time. You can get the pink with “Cosmopolitan” from GelBottle and the yellow with “Banana Split” from OPI’s neon collection. You’ll want a very sharp liner brush to create that sharp triangle V — being precise matters a lot. The colors look their best when applied over CND’s Bare Chemise which is a neutral jelly base.
The design might look intricate, but it’s surprisingly doable. First, smooth and prepare your nail with a high-grit file, add your base coat and then use the liner to create the French tips. To get the inverted triangle shape, mark your center and run your brush from each side toward it for the V-tip. Add a smooth topcoat to get that amazing shine — and your job is done. (Or neon-yellowed, more like.)
This look makes it clear that you’ve made it before you even enter the room. It’s clean, sharp, and perfect if you’re over minimalism but not quite into full-on maximalist art. A friend of mine wore this to a rooftop brunch and got more attention than there were bubbles in the mimosas. If that’s not a win, what is?
Lemonade French Twist
Sometimes, the best summer nail designs in 2025 are not about using lots of colors — they’re about making the simple look great. These squared acrylics give a subtle yellow look that’s easy to wear and still looks great. The French tip style is a little different, as it’s thicker, brighter and sunnier than the regular style. It’s giving clean girl aesthetic meets tropical cocktail hour — basically your favorite citrus gloss, but for your hands.
A strong acrylic base keeps these long nails in shape and gives the arch needed for the symmetrical tip to look right. I’m always reaching for Lights Lacquer in “Slice of Life” because it highlights your nails without being too over the top. For the smile lines, a brush with a clean edge will help or you can try nail tape if it’s easier for you.
You start with your base, let it cure, then either freehand your tips or use French tip guides (bless those little stickers). If you’re doing acrylics, shaping is half the battle. After that, put two layers of yellow polish just on the tips, finish it up with a fast-drying topcoat and you’ve got sunshine on your nails.
Whenever I want to look like I made an effort, but didn’t, I choose yellow. No matter if you’re wearing a white sundress or a big tee and biker shorts, these nails work well. The color also gives your hands a tanned look, even if they aren’t. Instant summer.
Fruity Pop Sorbet
This idea is bright, fun to look at and totally juicy — it’s one of the playful summer nail trends for 2025. Pink, green, a few neon yellow polka dots and rounded almond shapes make you think of fruit salad. They feel as if they should be worn by someone walking between a snow cone stand and a roller rink on a boardwalk.
It’s no shock — these designs focus on using color to create an impact. Choose Essie’s “Tart Deco”, China Glaze “Glow With the Flow” and Holo Taco’s “Green Taffy” for a fresh, ripe-looking nail color. The polka dot accent can be done with a dotting tool (or even a bobby pin in a pinch), and top it off with a sheer jelly overlay to tie it together.
Alternate the colors on each nail and keep one for the dotted accent you’ll add later. After every layer dries, dot the next one — I promise, you don’t want to see smudged dots. Add a sheer nude base to the accent nail before applying your dots for a better effect. If you’d like to try a new look, a matte topcoat can give these nails a modern 2025 art style.
I think this style really makes me feel like the main character. If you’ve been using Pinterest for nail inspiration, you’ve probably already saved this look without realizing it. It’s surprisingly simple to pair bright rings or beachy jewelry with this look. A pair of chunky orange sandals made this outfit a standout with one of my friends.
Highlighter Jungle Energy
If you’re brave enough to mix patterns with bright acrylic colors, this one’s for you. On one nail, neon yellow, white, black and jungle stripes are paired — all set against a shiny black background which makes it look like wearable nail art. With their square shape, these pillows are edgy and the range of patterns ensures they don’t look too identical. It’s like your nails decided to dress up for a music video shoot.
To pull this off at home, you’d need high-pigment polishes that don’t streak. You can use OPI “No Faux Yellow”, Essie “Licorice” and Olive & June “HD” for a clean white base. The zebra detail? That’s precision brush territory. I swear by the Winstonia nail art brush #000 — it’s a game changer for fine lines like these.
You’ll want to do this design in layers. Paint your nails with solid black or white, then cover them with a bright green-yellow polish, cure it and finish by hand-drawing the stripes in black on top. The gloss from a topcoat protects the details and gives you a professional-looking shine. Be patient with the cure time, especially for black or it might bubble.
I like to wear this set when I want my hands to make a bigger statement than what I’m wearing. Wear a neutral outfit and your nails will be the center of attention. A TikTok nail artist I follow predicts that contrast color and pattern combinations will be huge in 2025 and I think she’s right.
Rainbow Bright & Bite-Sized
There are so many bright, short and punchy shades in this collection that it really feels like a rainbow—but a fancy one! Choose pink, blue, orange, green and purple — all with a shiny finish on round nails that are the same length as your natural nails. It’s a quick manicure that makes it look like you spent a lot of time on it… but you didn’t. It’s just good color theory and clean execution. And yep, it totally counts as cute art.
This one’s beginner-friendly, especially if you’re not into extensions or acrylics. My go-to shades? Amethyst from Lights Lacquer, Shocking Pink from China Glaze, Sun Kissed from Sally Hansen, Tilda from Zoya and Butler Please from Essie are all great choices for royal blue. It’s important to have an even ridge-filler layer on your natural nails before adding the juicy layers.
Make sure your nails are clean, add one layer of your ridge filler and finish with two thin layers of each color. Let each coat dry well to avoid bubbling. When your hands shake, put your pinky finger on the table to help you aim better. Be sure to coat the edges as well — the colors are so bright, chips can happen fast.
I’ve tried this style while at the beach and the colors looked amazing in the sunlight. It gave everything a lighter, fresher feel, as if summer had been packed into five little glossy capsules. And honestly? You smile each time you notice your hands. There’s a lot of inspiration this season, but this look keeps it neat, tidy and easy to wear.
Diagonal Lemonade Dreams
It’s easy to see when a nail design is perfectly bold yet well-kept. That’s this set. The pink and yellow split on the diagonal makes these square nails appear both fun and neat. The glossy finish unites everything, just as a magazine cover does for a manicure. It’s perfect for anyone who wants something easy yet effective — almost like a brightly colored dress for your hands.
If you’re doing this one at home, go with Orly’s “Hot Shot” for that saturated pink and Zoya’s “Bee” for the sunbeam yellow. You can get those straight lines by using striping tape or nail vinyls, then pull them off while the polish is still wet. Trust me, you’ll thank yourself.
They suit nails that are just a bit longer than square and they’re easy to do if you can keep your hand steady. Put your base on, lay the vinyl down the middle, then do pink on one side and yellow on the other. Two coats max. Let dry, then carefully lift. A transparent gel topcoat will add a shiny finish to the polish.
I wore the same outfit with white sneakers and a loose linen set and every barista I ran into told me how much they liked my look. There’s a way about bright acrylics on clean lines that makes them seem very planned—as if nail minimalism got a fresh citrus look.
Neon Fade Into Bold
The style mixes opposites: dark and bright colors, sheer and bold fabrics and what you get is Fire. Although the neon tips are the star, it’s the deep rose-jelly base that holds everything together and gives you a contrast you didn’t expect. It’s a coffin shape, extra length and the vibe is… Confident. I said I would attend and I’ll be there with these things.
For a smooth fade, using a makeup sponge is your best tip. Paint your jelly color (like Essie’s “Sheer Silhouette”) onto the nail, and sponge OPI’s “Exotic Birds Do Not Tweet” over the tips. Keep blending until you get that glow-up gradient. After that, apply a thick coating of gloss to make the image shine more.
I really enjoy that this look is so easy to change up. It features 2025 trends that include strong contrasts and interesting layered transparencies. Britney Tokyo and others in the nail industry have discussed the return of “clear-meets-loud” manicures — and that’s what this is all about. Checks every box.
In all honesty, I would wear it for a drink on the roof or for a simple Tuesday afternoon with lemonade. Either way, it’s giving bright, clean summer attitude.
Molten Orange & Midnight Dip
Welcome to your fiery alter ego. This design is half lava, half sleek black hole, combining lively orange, black and beige with a single glittery line. This one is serious — it’s confident, dark and impossible to look away from.
The best products for this set? Bio Seaweed Gel’s “Tangerine Dream” and OPI “Black Onyx”. The silver striping gel from Born Pretty has worked great for me. It’s not thick, stays flexible and doesn’t clump. Because of the almond shape, the design looks stylish and can be worn comfortably.
This one’s more for the intermediate DIY-er. Start with your nude base (sheer beige), then alternate black and orange polish on each nail. For the glitter swirl, brush the glitter along the curve of your nail using a very small brush — this gives a nice movement without making things too crowded.
This set reminds me of bright neon signs against a dark night — it’s dramatic, stylish and glows. I’ve noticed influencers match this outfit with either leather jackets or silk slip dresses. It’s acrylic but make it editorial.
Leafy Neon Garden
If you’ve ever hoped your nails could say “soft summer fantasy” but still be bright, now’s your chance. The black leafy patterns on the neon here make the whole sign look more like a plant. Your nails took a trip to a Tulum spa and came home looking great.
For the neon, use CND “Limeade” and for the leafy black detail? You can get the look you want by using Kiss Nail Art Paint in Black; its thin brush makes it easy to draw vines by hand. I really enjoy putting this design over a neutral base, as it looks like you’ve painted it by hand on your nails.
If you want this at home, paint two nails with a neon color and leave the rest either sheer or nude. When your nails are dry, begin drawing vines from the cuticle, using short strokes. Vary the size for realism. Use a semi-gloss topcoat on the finish to enjoy the natural look while having your floor protected.
It’s adorable, looks great on Pinterest and is ideal for anyone who gardens in silk robes. It’s got a touch of calmness — and definitely fits the 2025 trends category.
Glazed Lime Mojito
This green-to-yellow ombré with glitter is really worth discussing for a moment. This one is why nail dreams come true. Because the shape is so long, the color blends gently, just as lime sorbet mixes with frozen pineapple. There’s something so relaxing and cooling in this manicure that makes it feel like a summer cocktail in your hands.
If you want that shimmer, use Beetles Gel Polish in “Neon Apple Green” and finish with their Glitter Top Gel. You’ll need a blending brush or sponge to make the fade look good and while it does take a little time, it’s worth it.
This kind of set works beautifully on gel extensions. Start with a base color, then add clear and yellow and finish with green at the ends. Add your shimmer layer and cure well. Two layers of glitter give it a nice effect without making it look too bulky.
I find that this design is like a holiday, even if you’re just planning to relax on your balcony. It’s enjoyable, pretty and a great way to show that quiet nails can be very effective. This set? Just glows.
Coral Chic Meets Dot Art
A bit of subtlety, followed by a twist, is often the best way to succeed. The coral power of these short pink-orange nails is complete, with a simple dot placed on the ring finger. The half-moon design is both old-fashioned and modern and it’s right on trend for 2025. Great for those who want to have fun without making a big deal out of it. Think summer brunch in a wrap dress and sunglasses.
You only need a warm orange like Essie’s “Tangerine Tease” and a neutral beige-pink for the other nail. If you use a dotting tool or the end of a bobby pin, you will always get perfect circles. Make sure the base is shiny and round so the finished design looks sophisticated.
This is a fast DIY that turned out looking just as good as something you’d get from a salon. Trim and shape your nails, coat them in coral except for one and leave that one uncolored. After your paint is dry, draw a line of dots that curves. Top your piece with a glossy finish and you’re all set to paint.
These are cute, clean, and a great go-to if you’re easing into acrylic bright colors or just want to dip your toes (fingertips?) into trend-forward nail designs.
Acid Pop & Abstract Dots
Now this is where playful meets editorial. Even though green is the main color, it’s the pink and black pattern that makes this piece really stand out. The matte look changes it from bold to something you can wear and the long square shape gives it a classic Instagram bad girl vibe. It’s a little chaotic — in the best way.
I’ve noticed artists use Madam Glam’s “Green Energy”, OPI “Pink Flamingo” and CND “Black Pool” for this nail art. If you have dotting tools or nail vinyls, it’s simple, but you can also do it with just your fingers. And for that matte topcoat? You might like Velvet Matte from Zoya — it holds up and doesn’t make the color look faded.
If you’re recreating this, focus on symmetry-free placement. You want it to feel random but balanced. Start with the base color, add the pink section next and finish with dots of black. Matte topcoat locks it in.
I felt as though I had put on wearable watermelon artwork. In all honesty, someone on the subway wondered if my stickers were a set. (It wasn’t.) Neon summer nail ideas in 2025 are meant to bring a burst of joy and this set does just that.
Glossy Short Pink with a Pop
I find it so pleasing when short pink nails really stand out. They are bold, smooth, juicy and a little glamorous thanks to the tiny crystal stud. It’s the style you pick when you’re wearing something simple, but you want to appear well put together. They’re clean, cute, and totally wearable.
OPI’s “La Paz-itively Hot” and Lights Lacquer “Cherry Jelly” give the same high-gloss pigment. For the gem? I use nail glue and a pack of Swarovski mini crystals for this.
If you want to make your nails stand out on a budget, this is the fastest way to do it. Apply your two coats of pink, stick on a gem using a toothpick dipped in glue, and finish with topcoat over everything (yes, even the crystal).
When I want a look that’s easy to do but looks great, these are the nails I choose. The pink grabs attention, and the little gem? That’s the wink. And they’re small which means you can still open a soda can. Life hacks.
Neon Rainbow Skittles Set
All the nails are special moments in this colorful wheel of happiness. You can see blue, green, yellow, orange and pink all in a row as you type. Because they are all the same length and shape, these square nails help to make even the most vibrant colors look well put together.
Get the Color Club “Pop Wash” collection or mix “Butler Please” by Essie, “Tilda” by Zoya, “Sun Worshiper” by China Glaze, “Tropical Pop” by Orly and “No Turning Back from Pink Street” by OPI. What a mouthful, right? Worth it.
Paint the nails twice with each color, clean the edges with a brush in acetone and top them off with a thick gel topcoat. Start by applying the lightest color first and finish with the darkest, so you don’t dirty your brushes.
If you’ve always wanted to wear a rainbow, this is the perfect, no-judgment way to do it. It gives your hands the look they’d have in a fashion magazine or on a streetwear campaign for Gen Z. Honestly? It’s giving mood boost in five seconds.
Strawberry Fields Hearts Forever
A beautiful gradient set in pink and green, with a few tiny 3D orange and pink hearts. Soft ombré meets glossy perfection. It’s flirty, playful, and surprisingly versatile for something that’s shaped like candy. This is a true art look for summer.
Paint the gradient with Beetles “Neon Watermelon” and Born Pretty “Electric Green,” and then dot on tiny hearts using a dotting tool or ready-made decals. Make sure to cover it all with a thick layer of glassy gel topcoat.
Doing this at home is more advanced than some other designs, but it’s still worth the effort. Once your base has dried, use a sponge to mix the pink with the green and then add hearts to the wet second coat.
Honestly? They give me the impression that I’m the main character in an old arcade love story. They remind us of the past, but they’re also new — which is what summer nail trends in 2025 should focus on. Color, play, and personality.
Graphic Neon Tips That Speak Boldly
This ultra-pointed neon stiletto set is what I’m totally obsessed with and it’s not only because it looks so confident. The base is a smooth blend from acid yellow to electric green which are two colors that fit summer perfectly. But what takes it over the edge? The big black letters “CONTROL” and “M” represent street style, techwear and a hint of rebellion in your nails. These bold, acrylic, editorial-style designs mean to make a statement, not be quiet. This look is bold and exciting, so it’s not for everyone, but that’s what summer is all about.
I would use Acrylic paints in bright colors such as Orly’s “Glowstick” and OPI’s “Green Come True,” to make this style. The matte finish? It’s a must. Try the Essie Matte About You topcoat—it tones down the shine to let the graphics shine (ironically). The lettering? You can use thin nail stickers or a brush along with a stamping kit to achieve a perfect font.
When it comes to application: first, use well-filed stilettos—if you’re using tips, be sure they’re not too heavy or unbalanced. Blend your neon base using a sponge gradient technique. When the paint dries, use matte topcoat, then put on your text decal using tweezers or hand-paint for a unique finish. You’ll need patience and a good grip, as this isn’t a manicure you can do right before a party.
I’ve seen a version of this on a friend during a rooftop DJ set in Brooklyn, paired with stacked gold rings and an oversized bomber. She told me people kept asking her who did her nails. I enjoy these kinds of cute acrylic styles so much because they help you start a conversation.
Matte Green Minimalism with a Bite
It’s similar to biting into a sour green apple when it’s hot outside—fresh, clean and strangely refreshing. The base is a simple matte green and black slashes and a black nail add a bit of contrast. It’s subtle art with an edge. Those slashes add a feeling of movement to the whole artwork. If you like a basic, geometric style with a bit of excitement, this one is for you.
Achieve this design by using either “Wasabi” by Gelish or “Dirty Martini” by Lights Lacquer. You can contrast the color by going with OPI’s “Black Onyx” on your nails. Those sleek lines? Dip a small, thin brush in gel and it should work. Finish with a matte gel topcoat and cure thoroughly.
I normally draw my slashes on paper to see how they will look balanced before beginning to paint with the brush. If you’re not sure, let nail tape or a cuticle stick lead the way while you paint your nails. Gel formulas make it easier to perfect lines before curing, so take your time!
If you’re a minimalist and still want your nails to look stylish, this one is for you. One of my friends describes this as her graphic novel manicure. I call it unexpectedly addictive.
Leopard Vibes in Neon Jungle
Now, we’re getting into some really unusual places and I mean that in a literal sense. This collection makes leopard spots look like highlighters. The combination of neon pink, orange, yellow and lime green stripes, plus matte black animal print, looks like what would happen if Lisa Frank and Y2K nostalgia joined a summer rave cruise. It’s noisy, full of fun and surprisingly easy to wear if you treat your nails as accessories.
You’ll need vibrant gel colors like Kiara Sky’s “Highlighter,” “Bahama Mama,” and “Hot Damn” (Pink and Orange, anyone?). I use black acrylic paint for the leopard spots because it gives me better control and dries fast when a topcoat is applied. A dotting tool or detailing brush adds a lot of detail to the pattern.
This kind of look is all about layering. Clean your base, swipe down a vertical stripe of a color, cure and then add the black spots. Don’t make all the shapes the same; use ovals, half-circles and jagged edges to make it seem natural. Don’t overthink it, leopard print thrives in chaos!
You’ll find this set useful when you want your nails to reflect your excitement for a festival or beach trip. A little maximalism never hurt anyone, right?
Lime Glaze Meets Pink Drips
These nails are pure juicy goodness. That lime base is so shiny it looks like a piece of glossy candy. But there’s a surprise: pink oozes from the cuticle like a melting sorbet in the heat. It’s like watching something from a pop art movie and that shiny look? Absolutely hypnotic. It’s giving Barbie-core but with a bolder, zestier twist.
You can get the same look with “Green with Envy” from DND and “Bubblegum Pop” from Beetles Gel. A dotting tool is your best friend for this look—just put a blob of pink gel at the base, then draw it down with a thin liner to make the drip effect. Top your nails with a glassy gel for that wet, candy look.
I’ve done similar designs using polygel extensions, but press-ons work just as well if you’re short on time. Celeb nail artist Britney Tokyo suggests you let each layer dry and tilt your hand so the drips settle before they harden.
My niece recognized this and said, “That’s TikTok on my nails.” And she’s not wrong—bright, fun, and totally selfie-worthy.
Blue Dreams and Cotton Candy Drips
Even though we’ve toned it down a bit with this blue and pink look, it’s still getting plenty of attention. Soft sky blue creates a background for the bright pink syrup-like drips, so this one seems like a summer snack from the carnival you love. It’s fun to listen to, but it doesn’t shout and it’s not overly sweet. This is how you can have pink nails that feel like you’ve never seen before.
I used Sally Hansen’s “Pacific Blue” blue gel and Nail Addict’s “Barbie Boo” pink drip. Don’t make the pink too smooth; leave it raised and glossy. It’s that difference in texture that makes it interesting and gives it an extra layer.
I think the best thing about this look is that it matches with the bold and colorful trends we’ll see in 2025. It’s cute, bright, and low-key addictive to stare at. I might make this my favorite outfit for chilling on the beach with big sunglasses and nothing to do.
Safari Sunset Tips
This makeup makes you look like you’re in the golden hour on the savannah, with bright yellow, orange and a smooth transition from nude to neon animal print. The tips on the leopard print are bright and still comfortable, giving a nice contrast to any summer outfit. It’s fashionable, can be worn and fits right into the 2025 trends that use natural themes and bright color updates.
If I were doing this again, I’d pick “Sunshine Yellow” by LeChat and “Atomic Tangerine” from DND for the tips. The black leopard print? Use a little dotting tool and some acrylic paint or black gel polish. A topcoat of high gloss will further emphasize the beautiful contrast of the color in sunlight.
After the ombré tip is cured, adding the dots is not stressful because it’s so simple. It doesn’t have to be perfect. In fact, it’s cuter when it’s a little uneven. I use a sponge to do the gradient first, then I paint the spots.
If you want to add a touch of glam without too much sparkle, this may be the best solution you’ve seen. The style is simple, the nails look great and I’ve saved it to try at my next manicure.
Animal Remix Pop
Now this one? It’s pure fashion editorial energy. A combination of green, blue, black and white zebra, plus some yellow—all arranged with both order and disorder. We’re seeing a story in this editorial: the jungle rave meets the downtown runway. It’s bright, bold and really captures our idea of acrylic bright colors.
For this, you’ll need “Electric Blue” by Lights Lacquer, “Kiwi Cool-Ada” by China Glaze and a bright yellow called “Neon Canary” from The GelBottle. I used gel liner brushes to draw zebra stripes and leopard spots in different areas of the eyes. When you’re just beginning, use a template or outline before you apply the polish.
What I like best about this design is that you can make it your own based on your style. Want more zebra? Make it all monochrome. Want more color? Alternate every nail. There are no rules here—just pure visual energy.
I think this mani is something you’d spot in a Jeremy Scott ad or while watching a music video. It’s campy and fierce in the best way. There’s no rule that summer colors must be soft and pastel.
Highlighter French Revival
Classic French manicures are getting a glow-up—and this one is lit (literally). Shiny gray concrete hair with almond tips is brightened by neon yellow at the ends. It’s modern, edgy, and surprisingly wearable. Your nails are saying, “I have good taste, but I’m also ready to have fun.” This design is an example of a simple idea that truly reflects the 2025 style.
If you want to try this, use Essie’s “Concrete Jungle” as the base and Modelones’ “Neon Lights” for the French tip. While you can use French tip guides, I find that using a liner brush gives your nails a unique touch. Finish your job with a high-shimmer topcoat to help your finish keep its shine.
Last year, I paired coral and nude, but yellow and gray is giving me a whole new vibe. It’s architectural and futuristic but still super wearable. I’d wear it with neutrals, or even as a contrast to a flowy floral dress—yes, really.
Fresh Green With a Twist
It’s a bit like green juice, but you make it into art. A clean matte neon green on all nails provides a neat look and two accent nails add some fun with a green wave on white and animal spots. It’s graphic, but with softness. The shapes feel organic and modern, like something you’d see on a gallery wall but on your hands. We’re big fans of matte nails on short fingers—they look great in the sun.
You’ll want a matte topcoat (try Zoya’s Velvet Topcoat), plus a vivid green polish like “Lime After Lime” from China Glaze. Paint the white gel polish as your base for the abstract wave and spots. With a dotting tool, you can easily do animal print—cover the paper with small black dots, then add a few solid black ones.
Doing this together with a friend would be a great DIY project. Organize your polishes, start a podcast and have fun. I’ve used nail vinyls to create the wave shape before, but I much prefer to paint it freehand.
I’m drawn to wearing linen and big, chunky jewelry after seeing this look. It’s the kind of cute but editorial look that makes you feel effortlessly cool, even if you’re just at the farmer’s market.
Pop Art Crayons
One of the most fun and surprising neon summer nail ideas 2025—this mix of shiny acrylic bright colors makes it look like you dipped your nails in a bunch of different markers. Blue and mint, tangerine and coral red are all stars in this collection. But the tiny red dot near the cuticle? That’s what makes it art. It’s clean, playful, and a little bit cheeky. It’s a simple look, but it’s intentionally put together so you can be noticed without being too loud.
You can’t go wrong with “Blue My Mind” by Sally Hansen, “Juicy” by Cirque Colors or “Push Pop” from ORLY. You can add the red dot by stamping or dotting with a pen and gel polish called “Red Hot Rio” by OPI. The dots should be the same size to give your art that pop-art look.
You can have fun with this look by first painting your base, curing them and then dotting red along the cuticle line. It’s easier than it looks and super forgiving. Plus, the glossy finish makes each nail look candy-coated.
The pieces in this set are perfect for a busy fashionista. She uses colorful planners and drinks iced matcha, but she’s also good at making a difference without overdoing it. This manicure works for brunch and for vacation and you’ll never tire of it.
