Milky white nails like these are a hot summer nail trend. They also tend to flatter a variety of skin tones.

Press-on nails like these from Glamnetic are an easy way to get a beautiful summer manicure!

Pale pink is seasonless and is an excellent choice if you’re wanting something neutral for that summer vacation.

If you prefer the look of natural nails, try one of these neutral nail ideas.

Kiss is one of my go-tos when it comes to press-on nails.

PRO TIP: To make them last longer, use nail glue instead of the included stickers.

Chrome

Ah, the chrome nail. Another one of the most popular summer nail trends.

Chrome nails are perfect for summer manicures but also great for spring nails, too!

These are an especially great option when you want something with a bit more shimmer than a neutral nail, yet not quite as bold as bright summer nails.

Metallic Nails for Summer

Metallic is another really popular nail trend, especially if you want something a bit more fun than a solid color but not quite as adventurous as a nail design.

If you prefer a darker shade but are not sure how to do it for summer try something like these chrome press on nails. The sheen helps make these look summer-ready.
