The Best Summer Nail Colors
1. Neons
This goes without saying, but we always see a lot more neon nail colors during the summer. Specifically, we tend to see a lot of hot pinks, yellows, and oranges. These colors are great for complementing that summer glow.
Erika (@lifelovemani) wears Cirque Colors Kushy. She absolutely loves this neon green creme. If you're a trendsetter and tend to like bold aesthetics, this is the perfect shade for you.

Amanda (@_amandabella) wears Gelish "Ride The Wave" from the new Splash Of Color Summer 2023 Collection. It's a gorgeous neon blue base that contains flecks of shimmery glitter (reminds us of the sun rays reflecting off the ocean on a warm summer beach day).

Giselle (@movemountains) wears DND's Floral Coral. She says, "It's even brighter in person but the camera doesn't capture just how intense this fun, bright coral is." We think it looks great on her and it's the perfect summer nail color.
Madam Glam's "Lightborn" may not exactly be that highlighter neon yellow color, but it's still vibrant enough to pack a punch, Part of the new House Of Light Collection, this shade is strong enough to make a statement without being overwhelming.

2. Sheer Nudes / Milky Nails
In contrast to neon nails, we plan on seeing the "Milky Nail" (also called "Lip Gloss Nails") trend continue to be a favorite. This look is for those who prefer to keep a simpler, minimalistic look. All you need is your favorite sheer nude nail color. Popular colors are OPI Bubble Bath, OPI Funny Bunny & CND Negligee.
DND "How Do U Neutral" is a sheer shade that glides on like butter and makes for the perfect minimalist mani or base for nail art. The color is part of DND's Sheer Collection.
How Do You Neutral?
butter LONDON's Mellow The Yellow Nail Brightening Treatment will not only give you the perfect minimalistic look. It strengthens your nails at the same time!

3. Jelly Nails
This look is similar to the Milky Nail Trend except with color. Think late 90s, early 2000s aesthetic....your favorite jelly sandals, jewelry, etc.
Haze Jelly is a sheer lavender-gray jelly nail polish with a shiny transparent finish. Embracing the 90s vibe, this color is from the Glazed Collection, which was inspired by banana milk, gummy bears, platform sandals, and our core childhood memories.

Aqua Jelly
This cyan blue jelly nail polish is perfect for summer. It looks like crystal-clear water, where it's so pristine you can see all the way to the bottom from the surface. Snorkel, scuba, or splash among the magnificent creatures and colorful coral. Combine this color with other jellies to create a rippling, ocean-floor look.

This ultra dark lavender is packed with the most incredible linear holographic pigment. Your nails will definitely stand out with a color like this.

Like the flicker of flames, a strong shimmer shifts through hues of red, copper, and orange, while other angles bring out shades of lime and gold. A scattering of holo sparkles completes this vibrant pine green shade.

5. Mint Green
Green has been a populr nail color since spring, and there's no doubt the trend will continue in the summer season. However, it's interesting to note that mint green, in particular, will be trending this summer. Green may not be everyone's first choice for a nail color, but if you're wanting to try something new, give this trend a try!
