The Summer 2024 Nail Colors You Need This Season

Summer is the season for fun and vibrancy. As the days grow longer and the sun climbs higher, nature transforms into a wonderful burst of color. Lush green leaves deepen into a rich emerald, wildflowers bloom into pretty shades of delicate pastels and bold, saturated tones, and the turquoise sky is painted with wispy clouds like cotton candy.

You guessed right! All this beauty is reflected in the hottest summer 2024 nail colors and trends. Judging by the biggest new releases and cult favorite shades, expect to see a mix of bright and pastel hues all over, as well as some unexpected color combinations.

The Hottest Summer 2024 Nail Art Trends

In addition to the colors of the season, here are a few nail art ideas that will keep you on-trend all season long.

Color Blocking

One of the best things about color blocking is that it is a versatile summer 2024 nail color trend that can be adapted to suit any taste. Try bright, contrasting colors for a dramatic look, or you can pair your favorite pastels for a more understated effect. Experiment with different geometric designs to capture the mood of the season.

Negative Space

Another great way to achieve the minimalist look is with negative space nail art. This look involves leaving some of the nail bare when creating your design. This could be something as simple as a French manicure or a more abstract look. We love using bright, eye-catching colors and contrast them with the negative space in different shapes like triangles and squares.

Florals

This nail trend is not new to summer 2024. We’ve seen this year after year, but no complaints from us! Plus, it’s the perfect spring nail look so you can wear it as the seasons change. These feminine motifs can be incorporated into any look, whether bright and bold or cute and simple. Even better, use floral nail stickers for a much simpler manicure process.

Animal Prints

A fun and unexpected choice for nail art, this trend can be done with any type of animal print, whether black and white or brown and black. It's a great way to add some personality to your look.
