Summer is a period of fun, adventure, colorful wardrobe and bold beauty experiments. Beauty industry experts agree that the color of the nails at this time of the year should reflect the mood of the season. When talking about summer manicure, bold, bright and cheerful colors immediately come to mind, which will be the perfect complement to urban and beach looks.

“In the summer, choose a shade that is a little outside of your comfort zone," says renowned NYC manicurist Jin Sung Choi.

So what shades of nail polishes should you pay attention to first of all? Let’s figure it out!

Fashionable shades of varnishes for the summer of 2021

First of all, this summer we will see a boom in yellow, which is the main color according to Pantone in 2021. Calm champagne, warm corn, trendy canary, rich lemon and other citrus shades will be more common than usual. By the way, we have collected yellow manicure ideas in a separate collection.

An alternative to sunny tones will be apricot, coral and salmon. Moreover, the last color is relevant in the new season, both in a muted and in a bright version. The classic red will be replaced by shades of fruits and berries – watermelon, raspberries, cherries, dragonfruit.

As in previous seasons, the high point of the neon palette has come in the summer. The wave of popularity is again experienced by bright yellow, light green, lime, saturated green shades, to which trendy fuchsia and electric were added this year.

Of course, you can’t do without a fiery range – orange nails are especially popular during the holidays, since hot shades look especially good on tanned skin of the hands. The trend color of this summer is Sunset Orange, which has taken its place in the new collections of many well-known brands in the nail industry.

For nail designs with beach motifs, turquoise or, as they like to call it, Tiffany color will be a good choice. It is literally created for the summer, and this season it has also entered the list of the most fashionable. All shades of blue, azure, aquamarine, cyan fit perfectly into the marine theme.

This also includes white nail polish, which girls often choose before going to the sea. White lacquers with mother-of-pearl are very popular this season. Delicate pearl manicure is a great nail art idea for brides and anyone who is tired of the classic white finish.

Pastel manicure lovers should pay attention to cornflower blue and periwinkle shades fashionable this season. In addition to them, lilac and lavender colors do not lose their leadership positions. Delicate blues and soft pinks, which also beautifully accentuate the tan, are worth considering for a marine manicure or save for the post-vacation period while the skin retains an enviable milk chocolate shade.

Shimmer polishes will help create a festive mood. Choose any color from the list below and find the same glitter option from your favorite brand, or trust the win-win and timeless gold and bronze shimmer for summer.

Now that you know which nail polish shades are on the top of this season’s key trends, it’s time to take a closer look at the trendy colors and pick up your favorite beauty products.
