If Your Nails Aren't Giving SUMMER , Be For Real for A Sec.
Like...the sun's out, the sandals are o,n and your nails are still in their winter era? Couldn't be me.
As a licensed nail tech turned full-time content girlie, I've been deep in Nailtok, Pinterest boards, and every "hot girl summer"moodboard. So I already know the trends that are about to eat, I mean it.

This Isn't Your Basic Pastel Polish Anymore
Summer 2025 is about having shiny , colorful nails and being fun in the best way. This summer is all about statement energy. Think glossy chrome, textured design,s and crazy nail color combos. In this post, I'm breaking down the designs that my clients have asked for with summer around the corner and everyone getting ready for vacation mode. Here is what I'm seeing, not just online but also from my clients.
Floral Nails - They aren't only meant for Spring
Mirrored chrome - Pink mermaid, Silver, and even textured Gold Chrome
Pearl & Seashell Nails - Soft girl era meets beach textures
Mismatch Art- Each finger has its own design but still has the same theme
Aura & Airbrush Nails - This gives off dreamy vibes
Soap & Clean Nails - Think sheer pink and nude milky ( this is the most popular for sure )
Press-on Princess or Nail Tech Loyalist ?
Whether you're team DIY or booked loyally with your nail tech bff, these trends work for everyone.
Press-on Friendly: Chrome press-ons, Aura designs are all over Amazon and Etsy
Salon-Worthy: Ask your tech for layered looks with chrome,3D designs, or custom-painted designs.
