Which shades of nail polish are in style this summer? This season we are cheering for all the colours of the rainbow, but a few clear favourites stand out. We're going to take a look at the best nail polish for summer.

Before you start the summer “paint” craze, plan your compulsory maintenance. Without a thorough manicure and pedicure, even the coolest shade won't look good. So jump on the pro bandwagon, or go for an at-home salon. But don't skip this step. Nail care is absolutely essential. 

Barbie in Chill Mode

Last year's “pinkmania” in the spirit of barbiecor is gone. But you don't have to say goodbye to pink. This year, sweetshop pink is in - soft and pastel. And alongside it, other “sweet” tones like peach, lavender and pistachio are dominant. They look totally divine in combination with your sun-kissed skin. 

It's Like Nothing

The “clean girl aesthetic” trend is just now reaching your fingertips. Nude, milky or completely transparent nail polish with a shiny finish cannot be missing from your collection. It makes your nails look perfectly manicured and goes with everything. So you can go straight from the beach to the wedding. Just watch out for your cuticles, they have to be in top form or the effect is over.

Add Them to Your Basket

Inspiration from the Sea

Not only classic sea blue, but also turquoise, pearl or beige reminiscent of the beach and sea shells. All shades that conjure up the perfect summer holiday are simply a must-have. And don't worry, it's not just for the exotic, they'll also make you shine at garden parties, by the pool or even just in the city. 

Be Noticed

We also have an ace up our sleeve for those who want their nails to scream, “We're here!” Make a colourful collection of nail polish in canary yellow, Aperol Spritz orange and lime green. Combine them with each other. No one will be able to ignore different coloured nails for summer.

Summer Colours for your Nails

Nail Art? Yes, But…

No wild circus! But nail decorating is definitely not passé. Just adapt it to current trends. Delicate flowers, minimalist lines or one tiny pearl on your selected nail are in. And immortal France is still in play, only this time in a slightly wilder way. Instead of white tips, try orange or blue. 

Whether you choose summer nail polish in sweet pink, sea blue or bold orange, one thing is clear - you have to love it. And when you're having fun, it's the best trend of all. Check out our video to find your favourite colours.
