Summer is the one season where I take a break from my usual neutral nails and have fun with colorful designs. If you’re looking for some summer nail inspo, I’ve got you covered. I’ll keep this post updated too with more summer nails as I do them!

Chrome Nails with Abstract Pink Lines
I’m still very much hooked on the chrome/glazed donut nail trend this summer, and I love how this set turned out! Chrome makes a greatv background for simple abstract designs.
Nail Colors: Looky 3 in 1 gel polish in 406 (nude) with Amazon chrome powder on top, and Modelones Color Cube solid gel nail polish in Macaron Paradise (pink)
Yellow French Tips
This set just screams summer to me. You can never go wrong with a classic french tip, and the yellow and chrome makes it feel fresh.
Nail Colors: Looky 3 in 1 gel in 021 over 406 (nude), nail art liner gel in 16, with Amazon chrome powder on top
Blushing Aura Nails
I’ve been seeing this nail trend all over Instagram this summer and I had to try it! I created the ombre/airbrush effect with jelly polish and a cosmetic wedge.
Nail Colors: Looky 3 in 1 gel in 021 over 406 (nude), rubber base jelly in 014 (peach), and nail art liner gel in 1
Pink & Orange Glitter
I absolutely love pink and orange together! Layering glitter polish in different colors is an easy way to create a dimensional look.
Nail Colors: Looky 3 in 1 gel in 720 (pink), 716 (orange), 834 (iridescent)
Baby Blue Holographic Cat Eye Nails
These baby blue glittery nails give me all the summer vibes! Modelones gifted this set to me, and I used the magnetic cat eye gel polish over beige and blue.
Nail Colors: Modelones holographic cat eye set in Pastel Dreams
Bright Daisies & French Tips
This color combination just makes me so happy! I love adding bright accents on nude nails for a toned down colorful look.
Nail Colors: Looky 3 in 1 gel in 021 over 406 (nude), Modelones Color Cube in Macaron Paradise
