Fun, fresh 2024 summer nail ideas to try and show off:
Colour-Blocking
Taste the rainbow with a cool, colour-blocking concept. Whether you’re a minimalist or a maximalist, this is a fun, whimsical idea to try if you’re looking for something unorthodox.
Psychedelic Swirls
Bring back the 60s and 70s with this psychedelic inspiration. A little bit bold but yet still trendy, this nail idea will grab attention this beach-bound time of the year.
Flower Power
For the ‘Girlcore’ girlies, romanticise your nails with tons of dreamy florals and pastel shades to exude femininity wherever you go. It’s the best time of the year to go all out with your florals.
Sunset Galore
There’s no denying that sunsets and sunrises are the epitome of summer. So, why not go full-on ombre to personify the colours of the iconic skies during the sunkissed season? While we’re head-over-heels for the dreamy pastel swirls, this ombre nail design is also swoon-worthy. It’s fun to look at and the colour combos are endless!
