These Bright Nail Shades Will Get You Oh-So Summer Ready
The winter may have felt long and dreary, but—believe it or not—the moment to transition from moodier tones and transitional spring nail colors to the brighter, beachy hues of summer is just around the corner. And this year, there's no shortage of hot shades to try on your fingers and toes, whether headed to the salon or DIY-ing the look at home.
There really are no rules when it comes to choosing the right summer nail color for you, says Rachel James, founder of Pear Nova. But as general guidance, brights (think: citrus or electric lavender), look especially great on darker skin tones, she says. On fair skin, try berry shades or jewel tones, which will also be popular this summer. On the design front, "We are seeing a ton of swirls in abstract patterns on the runways," explains celebrity manicurist and bellasonic artist Maria Salandra.
From a modern twist on a classic white to wear with your go-to sneakers, to a dusty blue that will complement your beach tote, to a subdued pale yellow to pair with your summer dresses, these popular summer nail colors will be a welcome addition to any warm weather outfit.
