Want to make a statement? Choose graphic nails!
Shapes, texts, logos, and textures- the options are endless. Since the nail art gets intricate in a small space, it is best to get these done by a professional nail artist.
This nail design needs as much space as possible, so it looks best on long nails. Either grow out your nails or choose a long set of acrylic nails to make your graphic nails look great.
4. Neon Nails

You can never, ever go wrong with a pop of neon in the Summer. The trick with neon nails is to choose a shade that compliments your skin tone.
Deeper skin tones look great with all neon colours but especially colours like bright yellow, orange, and neon green, while fairer skin tones looks best with colours in the hot pink and purple realm.
5. Glitter Nails

Summer is the perfect season to get ultra-creative with your nail art design. Look effortlessly cool and change it up by wearing a mix of designs, patterns, and textures on different fingers.
Have fun, experiment, and combine geometric shapes mixed with stripes or polka dots and a glossy finish with a mattefinish. Or choose polishes from the same colour palette for a flattering look while mixing ombre with glitter.
10. Neutral Nails
Neutral nails will never go out of style- especially after more than a year of lockdown!
Using a mix of warm-toned polishes gives your nails a fun summery feel without being too dull. If you love neutrals and nudes but want to branch out, try contrasting light and dark shades of brown or peach while creating a unique design.
Or keep it simple and stick with solid nudes and neutrals for a classic and chic look.
