Summer means warmer temps, cutoffs, miniskirts and switching up your nail polish colors. Hey, we could all use a little colorful distraction right about now. Lucky for us, the summer nail polish shades this year are pretty spectacular.
There are your seasonal staples, like pink, orange, purple and green, but with new distinctive personalities. From combining hues to make a statement to incorporating a touch of shimmer, these shades will make you glad summer is on the horizon. We’ll leave it up to you if you also want to wear these colors on your toes. (If you’re looking for something different, we’ve got your pedicure covered.)
And don’t be afraid to mix things up. Mismatched nails are still popular and there’s always room for negative space nail art.
