It’s official, summer is here! So it is finally time to show off your nails. Pastel, bold brights, or almond tip—everything is in and the June 2025 consists of the freshest and most lively nail colors. Everyone seems to be getting their nails done in gel and dip powder. This guide has every sought after tone out there. Let’s get into the tips and tricks to looking stunning this summer.
Expect these nails to flaunt your personality and confidence like never before—everything from soft lilacs to juicy neons is in. This June there’s a theme, the goal is enjoyment in the sun. Subtle gel finish or bold acrylics? There’s five shades waiting for you either way. Set the trend, own the nails, and flaunt them till Summer 2025.
Blushed Petal Perfection
This is the type of manicure that I go for when I want my hands to look refined with minimal effort. The color is a soft semi-sheer petal pink that is quite literally effortless. It is clean, captures light, and glows in a subdued way. Just the right amount of glow makes it feel like the breath of fresh air in June.
To achieve this look, I like to use a sheer pink like Bubble Bath by OPI or *Funny Bunny* applied over a glossy base. Occasionally, I finish it up with gel-like top coat by Essie, so I can have the impression of a gel manicure for the duration of my summer without going for a june nail colors gel session.
This is something easily done at home. My routine always starts the same way, with buffing and pushing back cuticles (best done with a rubber cuticle pusher). Then applying a ridge filling base coat works wonders. I then do one to two coats of pink polish followed by the glossy finish. The secret: allowing each coat to dry way more than what you imagine. This is the time of patience.
If you’re a gal who prefers to wear linen dresses, enjoys a cold brew while rocking oversized sunglasses, this may be your go-to nail colors for June aesthetic. It is uncomplicated. Romantic. But refined.
Cherry Popsicle Realness
Juicy red, please. This high-gloss cherry red is so satisfying and summery. It’s simultaneously playful and sophisticated. It’s not too loud and in the blazing June sunshine, it practically glows. I wore something like this to a friend’s rooftop birthday party and was showered with unexpected compliments.
I love & Cult’s Kundalini Hustle and Olive & June’s CV for these shades. Both capture that sweet spot between red and hot and easily wearable. And for those who prefer long-lasting wear, dip powder versions of cherry-toned dip nails are huge in the June dip nails communities.
My favorite thing? This color is magic. It makes your hands look tanner. Seriously. If you’re one of those people prepping for summer with SPF 50 and beach escapades, this is the summer shade to wear on your nails or toes (we love June pedicure shades too).
Some stylists say red is never out, but I think it especially sizzles when paired with the golden hour. Catch me waving this shade out a convertible window.
Barely-There Lilac Glow
This one’s all about that soft lilac-white tint with a whisper of shimmer. It’s delicate and minimal yet has that polished, I take care of myself vibe. Reads like a barely-there pastel but with enough pigment to stand out. Sweet spot for soft summer mornings and slow weekend brunches.
Zoya’s Bela or Lights Lacquer’s Paper Snow topped with a sheer shimmer layer recreates this look. For bones like June nail colors, I prefer skipping opaque coats on short rounded tips to let some natural nail show. Makes the look more relaxed.
No Need for a professional. Gently shape into a natural soft round, apply one sheer polish coat, dry, and optionally shimmer-dry for a dew finish. Works with everything like denim rompers and flowy sundresses for an easy cut out.
If you prefer not to sport punchy neons or dark colors this month, this is your remedy. It is calm, breezy, and effortlessly cool. A refreshing burst of sorts.
Holographic Cotton Candy Chrome
This one is for the girls who want a little more after going minimal. A mix of holographic and soft pastels, this color is both understated and eye-catching. Lavender-pink base boasts an oil-slick pearl shift shimmer which lights up like a glazed donut nail but with more depth. Totally obsessed.
Creating this look can be achieved by starting with a base color of OPI’s Do You Lilac It? and layering over with a chrome or unicorn powder (like Daily Charme’s Iridescent Aurora Chrome). Seal everything with a glossy top coat. This design is proof that summer colors for nails during June don’t have to be matte or ultra-classic; they can be sparkly and still stylish.
If you’re doing it yourself, sponge applicators will work best with chrome powders—just dab it onto cured polish and buff until that glassy rainbow shine surfaces. The process is akin to frosting tiny cakes, and feels gently soothing.
I wore something similar to a daytime wedding and, well, my outfit definitely stole the show. It’s contemporary, ethereal, and beautifully straddles the line between fairy tale and sci fi. That is definitely a win in my book.
Summer’s In for Berry, Short & Bold
The colder months always had me obsessed with deep berry shades. Now, this rich magenta is flipping the narrative and making it perfect for summer. There’s something striking about a confident shade and slaying short nails at the same time. On sun-kissed skin, this tone just POPS.
To achieve that juicy raspberry color, I usually go to Zoya’s Carmen or Essie’s Bahama Mama. For those looking to get the most wear out of it, try incorporating it as part of your June nail colors acrylic or gel color set. It stays beautifully throughout pool days and Aperol spritzes.
If you’re doing it yourself, remember to shape the nails with a soft square file, buff the edges clean, and add two generous coats. Drying fully between the two layers is essential as this color deserves the smoothest finish. I like adding gel-like top coats to seal in shine and to give that almost glass like finish.
This shade takes me back to fresh raspberries from the farmer’s market and lipstick stains on iced-coffee lids. It’s rebellious in the best way.
Lemon Cream Dream
Pastels are sweet, but there is something uniquely refreshing about a soft yellow that doesn’t tip towards neon. This shade is cheerful, but quite muted, gentle creamy lemonade hues that feel cool and sophisticated. Think morning sunshine on linen bedding or sunlight filtering through gauzy curtains.
For a similar finish, try Olive & June’s Lemony Lem or Deborah Lippmann’s Yellow Brick Road. Curiously enough, this milky yellow has a sundress and oversized button-down complimenting dynamic. Also, how lovely does it look as June toe-nail colors for a beach getaway?
To make this shade milky, a white base is not necessary, so it looks more polishes than solid. Use two coats and finish with something super glossy. If skin tone is a concern with yellow shades, dragging a tiny dot of nude will help tone it down.
Wearing this for the long weekend in Palm Springs, it was happy light and cool, quite like June itself.
Rose Dust Chic
This muted blush a little more modern than the classic mauve tones brings so much ease when I want a break from super blush and pastel colors. There is a rare elegance to it that is still very effortless. Not to mention it’s not fully pink or purple and hits right in the middle.
For some that opt for a minimal beauty look but want that slight hint of color, Angora Cardi by Essie and sometimes Sundays No. 25 are both perfect options. Especially with matte finishes, almond shapes has me noticing this color everywhere in june nail trends, but glossy and classic will always be my fave.
Barely tutorial worthy, it is longer than two steps. A simple set of your nails well cleaned, shaped, and filed and two coats. For that fresh salon vibe, I apply a nice cuticle oil after. This color is super low-maintenance. Because of that, any chips are practically invisible.
Round 1 for me would be the first date or casual dinner on the rooftop. Wherever I’d wear it, it’d feel dreamy soft, polished, and in that perfect middle ground. Just like the calm June evenings before the heat sets in.
Neon Lime with Mirror Shine
Now, let us discuss boldness in detail. Neon lime green edges with holographic chrome trims are definitely not for the faint of heart. _This is fearless and breathtakingly mesmerizing._ Pearlescent reflections provide a glazed donut with electric slime undertones. This is peak June nail colors gel energy and I’m all for it!
For this look, go for a Color Club’s Feelin Myself neon green base, which has to be topped with an iridescent powder. Daily Charme’s Unicorn Chrome works wonders. The almond shape makes the nails sleeker, bringing a little edge to the otherwise playful color.
To recreate this at home, I would recommend starting with a Base coat and rubbing powder while curing with UV light. Unicorn Chrome works great but allow curing with no wipe top coat to prevent chipping. Give another coat of any top-coat sealer to prevent shine fading too fast and dulling the claw-wear.
Perfect for summer which will certainly turn heads at poolside hangs. If you are looking to experiment with June Summer nail colors, consider this statement piece turned pop-art.
Renaissance De Lilac Francais
One of the interpretations of a French tip manicure is using soft lavender as a base. This looks incredibly beautiful with the crisp edge of pastel lavender on a nude base. This design brings to mind young sophistication, playful grace, and understated refinement. Lavender in June, more than any other month, evokes the feeling of gentle blooms landing on your fingertips.
To achieve this look, I used OPI’s ‘You’re Such a Budapest’ for the tips and Essie’s ‘Mademoiselle’ as a sheer nude base. For those who are fond of June acrylic nail colors or even June nail colors for dipping, I suggest using stronger lilac shades to replicate this design.
My preferred method for creating the tips is using fine liner brushes which provides great accuracy, especially on square nails like these. Lavender shades are very forgiving so you need not stress over tiny imperfections. An opaque glossy top coat completes the shed and if used alongside floral hand creams, one can really embrace the garden party feel.
I wore this to a bridal brunch and I must say, it was just the perfect complement to the outing. This design did not dominate my outfit, but it enhanced my overall impression and made me feel organized and put together. Total Pinterest board material.
Classy Crimson Comeback
This one is bold and timeless. Long polished tips coated in deep crimson with blue undertones come off as cool and effortlessly classy. This manicure is modern with edges that feel timeless and would look great at a summer wedding or work meeting.
For a lustrous finish, I recommend OPI’s Malaga Wine, or Chanel Le Vernis in Pirate. Both have rich glossy finishes that are statement making yet refined and subtle at the same time. If you’re into dip manicures, this would be a dreamy option for something more durable.
This manicure would be glossy and heightened year around. With a sculpted look, I personally file the shape flat with rounded corners and seal the edges in a glossy top coat which locks in the shine.
For June, this shade is perfect if you want a vibe shifting towards warmth along with a bold pop while keeping it grounded. This shade is deeply vibrant with a hint of sultry coolness.
Rosé Mirror Magic
This manicure truly resembles what I imagine rosé wine would look like if it were turned into a nail polish. It features a dreamy, glossy finish that makes fingertips appear dipped into molten pink foil. Even though the shimmer is super flirtatious, the look itself remains classic.
To achieve this effect, I would use a warm pink base like Orly’s Kiss The Bride and then apply chrome pigment, for example, Born Pretty’s Metallic Pink Mirror Powder. The chrome can be applied over builder gel or acrylic for added longevity—perfect if you want to rock June acrylic colors or semi-permanent gel sets.
A crucial part of the application is to buff the nails smooth before wearing a no-wipe top coat. Chrome needs to be applied with either a soft sponge or silicone applicator, and once encapsulated, the glitter will be sealed with the polish. The shine is locked in and will last. Not only does this technique look stunning, is also reflects light beautifully and feels like summer in movement.
The garden parties with pink peonies and prosecco are pretty dreamy to me, and this manicure with romantic florals perfectly matches dreamy vibes. It strikes me as a little fancy, a little flirty and full of playful elegance.
Mint and Lavender Mix-Up
Why pick one color when you can have both? This adorable mani is lavender soft and neon mint green on alternating hands. The look feels like a perfect summer mood board. Lavender brings calm while the green adds energy.
If you are looking for some June summer nail colors, I think this is a great option if you don’t want to stick to one color. I’d use Highlight Of My Summer by China Glaze for the green and Essie’s Lilacism for the purple. Both greens and purples are vibrant during the summer, but creamy enough to wear on short, rounded nails.
As far as fun manicures go, this one is very simple. For at home manis, just color every other finger or switch up colors per hand for “skittles nails.” Just vibes. No rules. Smooth out your nails with a base coat to fill in any ridges, and your canvas will be super smooth.
When I wore this out while thrifting with friends, the cashier even brought it up! It’s light-hearted and carefree which makes it great when you want to be super unbothered and feeling a little indecisive.
Violet Milkshake
This lilac pink gives me mood lifting energy right away, and makes me feel cheerful. It’s a bit sweet, yet does not go overboard, like a milkshake made out of berries. The tone also leans on the cooler side. This makes it awesome for juxtaposing with tanned skin or silver jewelry (or both). This feels like a hidden treasure from your june nail polish list for the year 2025.
You can achieve this color with Barry M’s Purple Pastel or Lights Lacquer’s I’m All Ears. As always, I do two coats on the natural nails while keeping the edges soft and round for a gentle touch on the overall look.
When I wear these kinds of colors, my outfit is usually quite effortless and thoughtless because it goes with everything. It goes well with denim, with linen, with literally everything. It is captures interest and is chill at the same time. In case you want to bring out your natural glow this June, this is one effortless way to do so without much work.
I would love to think this should also be a staple for pedicures, purple toes in slides is an absolute yes.
Cotton Candy Cream
For “clean girl” manicures, this is my number one choice for June hands down. The pink whispering baby pink polish is subtle, soft, and gives off gentle feminine energy. While it does offer some glamour with an almost glitter effect, it’s very demure. You could wear it on a first date or to an interview—seriously, it’s that versatile.
Essie’s ‘Ballet Slippers’ and OPI’s ‘Let’s Be Friends’ both offer warm pinks that border on “creamy marshmallow”. For me personally, the look works best paired with squoval tips that are natural with either a matte or satin finish. Glossy coats are a hard pass since they instantly transform the look from a budding ballerina to a bridal.
The steps are push back cuticles, light buff, apply a base coat of white, and then stack thin layers of baby pink. Finish cream cuticle oil hydration for silky supple hands.
Feels quietly powerful to me. Softness alone can be strong, and in the summer, sometimes that’s all the boldness you need.
Matte Pastel Sorbet
Matte and pastel, it feels like summer and lavender sorbet on a hot day in June. The color combination consists of soft lilac, mint, peach, and baby pink. What makes it stand out? The matte finish. Even playful colors take on an editorial, minimalist look with a matte finish.
For a DIY version, Cirque Colors’ Speckled Pastels and OPI’s Nature Strong Collection are excellent options. Any creamy pastel polish works as long as you top it with a matte coat like Zoya’s Satin Seal. This look especially flatters longer or coffin shaped nails.
Suggested Technique? Withhold from applying the satin seal until your last coat is fully dry. Take this approach for June acrylic nail colors. The combo serves well for salon favorites: bridesmaids or birthday girls.
Fun without fuss, colorful without being overly loud. My personal phrase for it would blend gelato and chic.
Sweet and Sour Duo
Surprising as it may seem, pink and green come together hand in hand and work flawlessly. Accompanying a main character is the most perfect way to describe this combo. The creamy blush pink compliments the bold and playful hue of lime green. It reminds me of watermelon and whipped cream: strange pairings, yet they melt together wonderfully.
Of course, these shades work excellently for a June pedicure too. Go bold with China Glaze’s Treble Maker for that electric green and Olive and June’s Pink Sands for the soft blush pink. Both are long-wear options especially with a gel-effect topcoat.
As fun as it sounds, you can easily switch this up and use nail tape to divide colors for a half and half look. This is more enjoyable when painted on separate hands. Pro tip, if you match the green to a bikini or accessory, it will enhance your overall look.
This design radiates summer joy. Lazy beach days with fizzy drinks in hand come to mind when looking at it. It embodies everything energetic, summer, and effortlessly adorable.
Flamingo Barbie Dip
This sizzling two-tone mani hot pink and baby pink would be the perfect addition to any nail set in June. The finish is super Y2K and confidence-filled. It also features a playful twist on Barbie-core, which pairs perfectly with dip or gel sets.
To achieve the dip blend pink and soft pastel neon add Lights Lacquer’s Cherry Jelly or Essie’s Fiji and keep the shape round. This look is all about bold colors so keep the focus away from drama-filled long nails.
For maximum brightness, use high-gloss top coat and to increase vibrancy under the sun use neon polish. Summer is right around the corner so its time to pull out those iconic head-turner manis.
This look really captures that refreshing slushy drink vibe. Add some shades and work on that tan!
July in Advance
Red, white, and blue but refined. This schematic is more chic than cliché; the bold colors are painted individually on a medium length square tip. The effect? Clean yet casual costume. Perfect for pre-July vibes or those who prefer their summer spirit with a side of stylist.
For this look I recommend Essie’s Forever Yummy (red), Butler Please (blue), and Blanc (white) for the summer July sprit. Though if you are heading into June, these trio reds are easy to source at salons and excel with French or minimalist designs.
For a polished front at home, use an angled thin brush for cuticle detailing and finish with a glossy top coat for polish.
This is a perfect carry on look for sun concerts, backyard barbeques, or beach firework displays. “I’m festively fashionable but seasonsally timeless.”
Sparkle Stars and Stripes
Here’s a firecracker finish that’s rather hot—full stare and festive with red glitter, blue shimmer, and icy white sparkle. If you’re really going for it with July 4th celebrations this look is dramatic and exudes holiday spirit. The nails are also an unapologetic statement sporting shimmering almond shape with sparkly texture.
We recommend ILNP’s Cherry Luxe for red, Zoya’s Dream for blue, and OPI’s Alpine Snow with fine glitter for white. These are great for long wear for those getting June acrylics before holiday travels or events.
If doing this at home, apply glitter polish in layers over a solid colored base for added dimension. Do not rush; allow each layer to dry completely. The wait is worth it. Finally, apply a thick coat of gel-like topcoat to seal in the shine and lock in a glassy finish.
Nail art for the girls who want their nails to shine just as bright and bold as the fireworks. Always extra, always stunning.
Bold Primary Mix With a Fun Twist
A polished almond shape is a perfect fit for what I like to think of as adulted joy. It’s a punchy five-color combo of mustered yellow and deep navy, followed by forest green, soft gray, and a hint of deep crimson. A candy like spill done on a minimizes table captures the essence of bold, unexpected, and delightful all at once. The colors are intentionally discordant yet playful and whimsical in nature.
For this look, I polish out with high-opacity shades with Holo Taco’s Crème Collection or Zoya’s Color Block Bundle. These brands give rich payoff when working with deeper and pigmented tones like mustard and navy. This style of multicolor manicure is also great for june’s gel nail color sets if you want longer wear without chipping.
For this one though, fill in all the multicolor gaps; it’s balance in your nails. For balance in the polishes, I start with boldest primary yellow as middle or anchor on ring fingers. Keep the cuffs tidy and uniform shape to the nail to avoid chaos. The work appointment here is for visual effortless perfection, but it’s placing color on purpose everywhere.
Even my barista noticed the look I was wearing. It’s not overly done, yet still gives off that artsy vibe “I know color theory” which is hard to resist.
Zesty Lime Pop
This manicure captures the essence of early summer with its vivid lime green hue. It offers a refreshing and clean statement reminiscent of citrus flavors, and truly stands out. The nails appear almost dewy and lacquered, giving an impression of being juicy and vibrant.
To achieve this look, try China Glaze’s Lime After Lime or Orly’s Key Lime Twist. Both are deeply saturated and pigment-rich nail polishes, with no hint of sheer. And yes, these shades are gorgeous on the fingers as well as on June pedicures, especially for those who love to wear white sandals or sport minimalist sneakers.
The bold colors work best on an oval or almond-shaped nails that I love to personally sport. To soften the look, start with a white base if you want that dark neon glow or a ridge-filling base for a smoother look to give a citric shimmer. Top with a UV protective top coat to block discoloration, as neons tend to fade when exposed to sunlight.
In my case, it has always been this color lifts up my mood. I wore that on a Monday, and by Tuesday I was already making plans about the beach and what outfits I was going to wear with it. The exact description would be instant sunshine in a bottle.
Strawberry Milkshake Energy
This one hits the mark perfectly for me; some shades make you feel like home and I strongly feel this one is it. This soft, milky pink is in the balance between girlish charm and sophisticated grown woman. It is glowy, but not glossy; and the shape of the nails which is almond is elegant and does not look too precious. The best part is this is the kind of color that would make your hands appear instantly smoother and give the illusion of having a tan.
To achieve that look, I usually would get the essie ‘Go Ginza’ or ‘SE’ from Olive and June. Both have that creamy pink undertone with just enough opacity to be finished, but breathable. This is the kind of shade you want to dip for months. If you are looking at june nail colors dip options, this is the kind of shade you’ll want to wear for weeks.
I like to start with a sheer pink base and gradually build the opacity in two light coats, making sure to fully dry each layer to keep things streak free. The top coat is where the magic happens—a glossy gellike finish which gives a high-end salon look for the extra shine even if you are doing it in your room with a podcast running in the background.
My outfit for the picnic went along with white eyelet and fresh strawberries and included a dress that was soft and sweet. I paired this outfit with an icy summertime treat, an ice cream cone.
Calm Periwinkle
As June approaches, it’s sure to have a floating blue hour, and this color would bring it to life. A gentle periwinkle hue tipped with lavender gives a calm impression on soft hands. Serenity is youthful in this case. The color can be compared to the gentle blue skies before noon or fresh breeze coming in from your windows in the mornings.
Lights Lacquer’s blue moon or Show us your tips! by OPI are both perfect for this look. Those pastille shades are cooler and chalky forming an easy two coat application. The color is excellently wearable and modern when paired with short, rounded square nails, especially for those averse to bold colors.
Pastel blues require a smoothing base, and I always start with one. For the rest of the nails, two coats and a glossy top finishes touches with a drop of cuticle oil. The best part is this refill lasts an entire month! With silver jewelry, other minimalist pieces, or even simple style it looks gorgeous.
This color gives “clean girl” energy but avoids the tryhard look. It evokes journaling while draped in a linen robe, sipping iced lavender tea—silently lavish and laid-back.
Whisper Lilac
This nude polish with whisper lilac undertone embodies soft glam. Almost imperceptible shimmer combined with a neutral base gives it the “I’m refined” look with no volume. It’s also incredibly romantic—especially with longer oval tips that have a subdued gleam.
When looking for something similar, I tend to grab Zoya’s Leslie or Sally Hansen’s Lacey Lilac. If you do not mind DIYing, you can create it with a nude base and a shimmer topcoat. This is a must have for June acrylic nail colors, especially if you are attending an event or want a lasting manicure.
For the best outcome, patience is a must. Apply thin layers. Allow them to dry, then add another layer. I like to use shimmery clear top coats like Essie’s Gel Setter to amplify the light-catching wonders.
The blend takes me back to quiet summer evenings, a soothing breeze filled with florals and a lilac bush in the vicinity. It’s soft and gentle while poetic, never dull.
Frosted Mint & Creamy Swirl
Getting a frosted mint and cream colored swirl is essentially transforming your nails into a mini spa treatment; everything minty, fresh and smooth. The soft turquoise blended with the white marbled effect creates a refreshing look that gives the appearance of well-coordinated and polished hands. While this design keeps it minimalistic, it certainly is not boring.
To achieve a minty tone, I usually use Essies Mint Candy Apple or OPIs Gelato on My Mind. For the cream swirl, white polish can be coupled with a dotting tool or a very thin brush that elegantly curves the white across a white base—similar to a water marble technique. This design embodies the spirit of June nail colors and is ideal for longer square tips on nails.
The spacing helps the design feel more cohesive as well. On the swirl nails where the mint covers should also be stark full contrast. With the right top coat, the subtle color gradients are amplified which is visually striking when the hands are in motion.
This design is a go-to for brides, brunches and vacations by the beach. It captures that sought after clean look while still being artistic and light.
Ombre Sunset in Pink
This elegant pink gradient mimics the aesthetic of a summer sunset cascading onto your nails. It softens into delicate blush and bursts into vivid fuchsia, creating an ombre effect that is bold yet subtle. The overall look is romantic, warm, and flirty.
To achieve this style, you can use OPI Mod About You, Essie Lovey Dovey and Zoya Gilda. I prefer applying the ombre gradient freestyle with each subsequent nail increasing in tone. This is super simple with a collection of pinks, and even better if you’re looking for June acrylic colors where a nail tech can effortlessly blend the gradient in gel or dip.
Regardless of skin tone, this manicure flatters everyone. Paired with gold jewelry or a light tanned, this look accentuates the beauty along with the pinks, making it virtually glow. Round almond shapes gently reduce the brightness while giving a luxe vibe to this look.
If you want a hint of drama but don’t want to jump into the neon world, this is a sweet spot. It still has playfulness while being polished, so it is safe to post anywhere.
Pastel Cotton Candy Fade
Like an ephemeral dream, a dip of clouds in fairy floss. The lavender and pale aqua hues exude the ethereal magic of a fairytale. It evokes a tender feeling without drifting to the realm of romantic fantasy, smoothing into a cohesive blend that charmingly compliments June summer pedicure colors.
Begin with either Born Pretty’s Pastel Gel Set or Zoya’s Abby sponge-blended with Essie’s Mint Candy Apple. For medium to long nails, the almond shape enhances a lifted look and refined elegance. While sponging, use a latex barrier around the nail to keep things tidy and always blend in thin layers.
These soft gradients sparkle the most during movement—while typing, sipping an iced latte, or catching the light.
This soft magic offers gentle conversation, while feeling like June mornings on a porch swing or strolls in blooming parks brimming with floral life, evoking wonder.
Tropical Punch Pop
Burst of energy! This combination is especially noteworthy as tangerine-orange and turquoise remind me of summer cocktails. It’s youthful and sassy like a color-blocked sundress for your hands. It is perfect for hot days that require a refreshing drink and matchy nails.
This look can be achieved with OPI’s Can’t CTRL Me for the turquoise and China Glaze’s Flip Flop Fantasy for coral-orange. What most people do not know is the trick of alternating fingers and short, oval shapes to prevent bold colors from dominating. This is great for June nail dip or gel styles that are designed to endure pool days and weekend escapades.
Always add a white base under neon or pastel shades to increase brightness. Attention: neon or pastel shades require a high-gloss, UV-activated top coat to preserve color and provide a fresh from the salon effect.
Similar to a beachside barbecue, I was wearing something that was so vibrant to the point where I lit up the photos. If you want to embrace color therapy with this mainicure, it is perfect for you.
Conclusion
Expect these nails to flaunt your personality and confidence like never before—everything from soft lilacs to juicy neons is in. This June there’s a theme, the goal is enjoyment in the sun. Subtle gel finish or bold acrylics? There’s five shades waiting for you either way. Set the trend, own the nails, and flaunt them till Summer 2025.
