97+ Bright Summer Nails To Heat Up The Season (SERIOUS SIZZLE!)

Goodbye winter blues! Summer is here and that means sunshine, sandy beaches, and tiny bikinis.

And nothing pairs better with the perfect summer fit quite like an amazing set of bright summer nails.

The right summer nails will add a pop of color to you beach day outfit or help you rock that trendy dress on a night out.

I feel like the summer season is THE BEST time to experiment with nail designs.

Some summer nails are timeless, like nude nails, but some are constantly changing and evolving. This year is no exception!

Whether you’re looking for bold and bright colors or delicate, natural nails, the options are endless.

Whether you’re spending your days tanning by the pool with a margarita (guilty!!) or at the hottest rooftop bar, get ready to turn some heads with some of these gorgeous nails.

What Nail Designs Are Good For Summer?

Bright nails are usually trendy in the summertime! Some styles that will make you look chic in summer include floral nails, tropical nails, rainbow nails, pastel nails, and neon nails.

You can try out these nail designs on any nail shape like coffin, square, stiletto, and oval.

Summer really is the perfect time to experiment with fun, bright, and bold nail designs!

Try different colors, patterns, and designs. Get creative!

Whether you go for bright colors, beachy vibes, or fun patterns, you can’t go wrong. And besides, it’s not permanent and it should be fun.

Tropical Summer Nail Designs

Summers are all about going to the beach, drinking cocktails, and enjoying beautiful sunsets with friends.

If you love nature as much as I do, you will definitely appreciate some tropical summer nail art designs.

You can (and should!) mix and match different shades to create a unique look (but also, a monochromatic look is so nice – we can’t decide!)

Once you decide on your base, add some fun tropical prints like palm trees, hibiscus flowers, or even simple waves for a fun touch.
