8 Trendy Nail Ideas to Keep Your Summer Look On Point

This summer, nails are making a bold statement like never before. From edgy new shapes and whimsical prints to soft pastels and striking, unconventional hues — 2025 is all about fearless self-expression. It’s your moment to play, experiment, and let your nails do the talking. Scroll down to uncover the most exciting and stylish nail trends heating up this season.

Fruity nails

With spring gone and summer taking temperatures soaring, it’s time to replace the flower manicures with a fruity buffet on your nails. Feel free to let your nail artist’s creativity soar.

If you’re still a fan of floral designs, we recommend opting for a bright color palette instead of boring and outdated designs. Flowers can be vibrant and multicolored, like sunny yellow, though pastel shades remain just as stylish. Whether you prefer delicate, thin lines or bolder patterns, both options look fantastic.

Aura nails

If you are looking for a softer look, French manicures have long left the building, and summer 2025 season. For this year, stick to aura nails, featuring a soft, diffused blend of two bold, contrasting shades that seamlessly melt into one another, creating a radiant, otherworldly glow on each fingertip. Think of it as the next-level evolution of the classic ombré.

Beachy manicure

It’s summer, and nothing is hotter on nails than beach-inspired nails, also called mermaid-core. Got blue, sandy, 3D, chrome, and pink, and do whatever oceanic you can do for your nails.

Almond shape

In 2025, super long nail tips are out, and we are back to elegant, almond nails. This means you can save money on the extensions and give your natural nails a chance to come out from the shadows and shine.

For special events, you can always go extra long, but remember it’s the shape.

Pearly pink

Pearly pink nails shout summer 2025 in capitals, and are one of the easiest manicures to go for. For summer 2025, it’s best to skip the mattes and glosses and go for a shiny, pearly pink color that’s translucent and pretty. Think of soap nails, only a little pinker.

Colorful pastels

Pastels offer the perfect balance—soft, stylish, and effortlessly chic. Their milky white base adds a light, airy wash of color that feels fresh and understated. But for the 2025 summer, make sure your pastels are colorful and patterned, boring single-color pastel nails are out.

Citrus and yellow

Yellow and citrus are also ruling nails for summer 2025, and it’s easy to incorporate them in any way you like, be it a simple yellow, something glittery, 3D, or even patterns.

Velvet nails

While ultra-long nails can look impressive, this season they feel a bit excessive. Opting for a medium length is a smarter choice, especially paired with the trendy velvet nail design. This style features a shimmering finish and works beautifully in any shade you prefer — whether black, white, or colorful — making the look effortlessly stunning.
