We are back on to the hottest summer nail trends! Summer of 2024 will be so much of everything – chic, colorful, extravagant, and bombastic! We can certainly expect the return of retro trends, but also the “raising fire” of new, bright, and energetic colors!
If you’re looking for inspiration for summer nail sets or if you prefer monochromatic nails, don’t look any further than the internet. Here, you’ll find everything you need for the whole summer.
This time, we have prepared a variety of color groups for you, from bright to soft, and whichever one you choose, it will make your summer even hotter! Look for what suits you the best in one of the few nail arts, the best choices from nude shades, soft pastel colors, bright neons, classic and fiery reds, and powerful royal tones.
Nude pink
Pink is a natural color of the nail plate and no matter which shape or length you decide to do, nude pink will enhance the beauty of the natural nail itself. The color of the nail plate may differ from one type of tan to another, but that should be no problem when it comes to choosing the right shade for your nails. Summer is all about difference and uniqueness, so feel free to mix it up just a little bit this year.
