A trendy manicure is the hottest accessory this season. And with the scorching summer upon us, it is time to amp up your everyday manicure. After all, life’s too short to wear boring nail polish. When it comes to nail inspiration, the options are endless. The best part is that this summer a little bit of everything is in fashion. There’s definitely a nail trend that you’ll love, whether you want to go simple, opt for sheer colour, or let your nails do the talking with over-the-top nail art.

What’s even more exciting about nail trends is that they allow you to experiment with the latest and trendiest designs. So, if you are in the mood to switch up your nail situation, it is time to show your love for nail art via a fresh manicure.

If you’re looking for inspiration on how to switch things up in the manicure department, here are a few nail trends that you will want to swipe on this summer.

Hot pink summer

Hot pink nails are all the rage these days and it won’t be wrong to say that it is the official colour of summer 2022. Remember Rihanna’s pregnancy reveal? Not to forget the entire Valentino runway! So, of course this trend had to make it to our list of summery nail trends. Make sure to apply some cuticle oil before applying this nail colour so that your cuticles don’t look dry. To make your manicure a little funkier, coat your nails with a high shine topcoat.

Deep French mani

The latest update to the classy French manicure? Deep French tips are the way to go. Here’s what you need to do to stay on-trend. Instead of painting just the tips with white nail polish, start halfway up your nail for this Y2K-esque look. This updated take is perfect to add sophistication to long or short nails.

The half moon

Recently, we spotted Blake Lively’s pastel half-moon manicure and we are all for it. The half moon design is all about painting the lower part of the nail with a different colour. You can go all artsy and opt for studs and faux diamonds or you can leave it transparent. In short it can be anything that gives the effect of a half moon shape on the nails. This is a versatile trend which can be simple, or intricate and stunning. Want to get a little fancy with your next manicure? Just add a metallic hue and you are all set to flaunt the half moon nail trend.

The neon way

It seems that the neon trend always comes back, and summer ’22 is no exception. To be honest, we don’t mind painting our nails with the gorgeous vibrant hues available and they are so much fun to experiment with. If you’re daring enough, opt for all neon nails such as green and blue. However, orange and pink are a fun trade-off from fluorescent yellow. For those who prefer a more low-key manicure, try neon French tips. Adding a hint of neon is the easiest way to update your French manicure. Just apply a nude earthy nail shade and, instead of white tips, go for neon tips.

Barely there

If you are not too bold to try out neon shades and hot pinks, then get ready to see neutral manicures as a juxtaposing nail trend. One thing is for sure that you can never go wrong with simple, chic neutrals. Nude hues are an elegant, sophisticated option for summer, so find a nude that works for you and throw on a glossy topcoat for a look that will never go out of style. Whether you like to keep your nails short or long, the trend here is clean and subtle.
