Hey Lykkers! Summer’s here and you know what that means—it’s time to ditch the dark shades and bring on the bright, breezy, and totally fun nail colors.

If you’re soaking up the sun by the pool, heading to brunch with your besties, or just craving something fresh and seasonal, your nails deserve to be part of the summer glow-up.

So, if you’re wondering what to wear on your fingertips this season, we’ve got you covered with eight nail color and trend ideas that are seriously on fire right now.

<h3>1. Butter Yellow – Soft and Sunny</h3>

Butter yellow is the unexpected hit of the season. It’s soft, warm, and gives major summer sunshine vibes without being too flashy. It looks especially cute on short nails. Pair it with minimal gold rings for that sunkissed, effortless look.

<h3>2. Sheer Jelly Nails – Glossy and Fresh</h3>

Think of jelly nails as lip gloss for your nails—transparent, juicy, and super glossy. They come in pinks, corals, and peaches, and they’re perfect if you love a low-maintenance but polished look. They make your hands look hydrated and naturally pretty, like you just got back from a spa day.

<h3>3. Aura Nails – Dreamy and Ethereal</h3>

Aura nails are like having little galaxies on your fingers. They feature soft gradients that fade from one color to another, often with a glowing center. Think pink fading into lavender, or peach into yellow. They’re unique, artistic, and totally mesmerizing.

<h3>4. White-Out Nails – Crisp and Clean</h3>

White nails are a summer classic for a reason—they’re clean, chic, and make every skin tone pop. But this year, the focus is on crisp, opaque whites with high-shine finishes. Whether your nails are long and almond-shaped or short and square, white nails always look modern and fresh.

<h3>5. Juicy Oranges and Corals – Full of Energy</h3>

Nothing says “I’m on vacation” like bright orange or coral nails. These vibrant shades bring warmth and energy to your look and are basically made for poolside selfies. They look stunning on both fingers and toes—especially when you’ve got a bit of a tan.

<h3>6. Milky Neutrals – Clean Girl Vibes</h3>

If you’re into subtle elegance, milky white or soft beige nails are your go-to. These creamy, semi-sheer colors give your nails that clean, minimal look that’s both sophisticated and easy to wear. Ideal for any outfit and any occasion.

<h3>7. Pastel Pop – Soft But Statement-Making</h3>

Pastels like pistachio, lavender, baby blue, and mint are perfect for summer. They’re soft enough to be subtle, but still fun and colorful. You can go for a single pastel shade or mix and match for a playful twist.

<h3>8. Tiny Nail Art – Cute and Personal</h3>

This summer, less is more when it comes to nail art. Tiny daisies, hearts, smiley faces, or beachy icons like shells and waves are trending big. You don’t need a full-on design—just a small detail on each nail can turn your manicure into something extra special.

So Lykkers, whether you're into bold brights or soft sheers, this season is all about expressing your style and having fun with it. Let your nails be your little summer accessory—because they deserve to shine just as much as you do.
