With May marking the year’s transition from spring to summer, it’s time to revamp your wardrobes to prepare for the warmer months. While bringing in new clothing may be a no-brainer, don’t forget that your nails are another great place to experiment with new styles. Here are five of this summer’s hottest nail art trends to consider the next time you’re at the salon:
- Chrome
This reflective style can be an exciting way to spice up an otherwise plain manicure. Whether you choose a simple look or varying designs, the metallic effect is sure to make heads turn no matter where you travel this summer.
- Stars
Stars are yet another nail-art trend that has taken the internet by storm this year. They can be painted into a French tip or stretched across the entire nail, adding a playful feel to any manicure.
- Jelly Look
A jelly-like gel finish is another surefire way to snag some compliments in the coming months. You can choose however many colors you would like or just stick with one; either way, the result is bound to leave you feeling refreshed.
- Decals
Who doesn’t love 3D? This fun set incorporates gemstones to add a multi-dimensional element to your polish. The shape and style are entirely up to you, allowing you to express your personal style.
- Aura
Gradient nails combine the “aura” trend often found in posters or other graphics with nail art to create an eye-catching look. Perfect for someone looking for a fun pop of color, they can be made using any color combination and are the perfect middle ground between youthful and elegant.
