Try These 6 Summer Nail Trends While They’re Still Hot

August 6, 2024

Now that we’re officially in August, the end of summer is looming. It’s time to complete any remaining summer bucket list items and ensure you’ve gotten the most out of what the season has to offer (camping trips, beach days, last-minute vacations, summer manis–all the important stuff)! According to our calculations, we still have time for a couple of fresh and summery nail sets before we start transitioning into the moodier hues of fall. 

“The most popular nail trends for summer 2024 are fruit nails and 3D art (seashell/mermaid vibes). The more simple girlies are definitely getting reds, bright pinks, and bright sunset-type colours,” Shared Certified Nail Technician Yeimy Mejia-Avelar of Beauty Plug Studio

Need last-minute summer nail inspo? We have you covered with 6 trendy mani ideas! 

Fruit Nail Art

Who doesn’t love a playful, vibrant nail design in the summertime? Fruit-themed nails have been huge this season, and no fruit is off-limits! From juicy watermelons to sweet strawberries to zesty lemons, nail art has never been so delish! 

Mermaid-core 

Nail trends often reflect the current fashion and beauty trends, and mermaid-core nails are the perfect example. This summer, sea-inspired everything has been having a major moment! Embrace the trend from head to toe by indulging in an intricate 3D nail design any mermaid would love. 

Aura Nails 

Aura nails are such a vibe (literally). Mimicking the look of an aura (described as a coloured energy field), aura nails can be accomplished with any colour! For summer,  colours of the sunset are a popular choice. 

Baby Blue

There’s something so refreshing about a clean baby blue nail set! It’s simple yet still fun and summery. If you’re someone who prefers a more refined set (no 3D starfish here), opt for an all-over baby blue colour to add a light element of summer to your look.

Red Hot

If you ask us, red is a neutral. Especially when it comes to nails. It doesn’t really get more classic than a red set! Plus, red is also a super versatile colour, as you can adjust the tone with the season. For summer, go for a vibrant cherry type of red, and when the weather gets cooler, maybe choose a deeper, crimson red

Summer Florals

Everyone needs at least one floral nail set before summer comes to an end! It’s a nail design that will likely never go out of style in the warmer months, as it’s synonymous with the summer season.  Right now, we’re loving delicate daisy nail art in all colours!
