Your nails say everything about you.
As we endure the scorching heat, we feel it’s the perfect time to plan that holiday you’ve longed for. Whether a road trip around Malaysia or a flight out of the country, this opportunity calls for some summer 2023 nails inspo to celebrate in style. With summer fashion raving about the comeback of maxi denim skirts, sheer tops and neutral tones, the nail department is looking up too.
In 2022, bold neon hues and barbiecore tones were in demand. However, this year, we’re going sophisticated with a touch of glamour. Of course, bold tones will always be a trending request, but why not opt for a softer look? Thanks to Hailey Bieber, the glorified trend of flaunting glazed nails were all the rage (it still is!). This time, we’re elevating the movement with a splash of colour.
From low-maintenance designs to quirky nail art ideas, here’s our take on the best summer 2023 nail inspos to follow this season.
Your guide to the most flawless Summer 2023 nails inspo to try:
