Nail art trends you need to be on this summer

Okay, girlies, we all know that Gelpolish has been the reigning queen for the past few years. She offers the support and strength we need for our nails – no one has time for broken, chipped, crusty nails. For those of you who don’t know, Gelpolish, or hard gel as some salons call it, is a gel manicure that adheres to your nails with a UV light. Sounds very similar to regular Gel, but the difference is that hard Gel is more similar to an acrylic nail. It’s sturdy, doesn’t break, doesn’t peel or chip, and holds a design. Gelpolish offers all the benefits of an acrylic nail without the terrible damage. Whereas regular Gel usually comes off in about 10 days, Gelpolish can stay on for a whole month – we call that a little bang for your buck. 

With Gelpolish, you can do all of the Pinterest-girlie designs you see floating around on influencer feeds – the colorful French, color-blocking, tortoise-shell, you name it, and an experienced nail tech can probably do it for you. 

So this summer, what is the nail art that’s taking the internet by storm? 

Air-brushed Aura Nails

Either a single color or multiples on one nail, these aura nails are a subtle pop of color perfect for the season.

Fun French Tips

From squiggly designs to 3D lines and melted ice-cream vibes, summertime is the perfect time to experiment with the classic French tip.

Metallic/Chrome Everything

Whether it’s chrome French tips, opalescent chrome, or chrome highlights this summer, if you can add a little shine to your nails, you should definitely try it.

3D blobs nails

Big, bold nails are in with 3D gel that literally pops off your nails. This is definitely a statement trend. The 3D Gel can be done in numerous ways – from enhancing your design to creating a unique texture. 

Charms nails

Want to be even more extra this summer? Add a charm to the end of your nails, or have one glued on top. This is the loudest nail trend out there right now and one that’s definitely worth getting behind. Just keep in mind that charmed nails might fall off if not done well.

Summer is all about experimentation, letting loose, and having fun, where bold is better and color is everywhere. Just remember, when it comes to your nails, it’s never too much.
