Beauty Tips & Ideas: Nail Fashion Guide

Nails take the attention of designers and trendsetters all year round. High-end brands come with several launches every season, just to ensure we have all the colors and designs that we desire at all times. With all the nail colors and polish available in the market, which are the ones we should adopt this summer?

Summer is the time you choose colors you'd steer clear from the rest of the days of the year. Unexpected, bright, trendy, neon... are all adjectives of the colors of your time at the pool and during festivals and vacations. Go for colors that are less predictable; grab some hot pinks, blue navy, turquoises, oranges, metallic...

So what's the latest in nail color trends? What are the newest summer nail arts? What about the nail shapes and lengths? Here are some beauty tips and ideas.

Minty Fresh
Light green come along with bold blue to highlight summery days at the beach and fresh light cocktails. Don't forget the seafoam green, or what it is also known as blue-green that looks beautiful on natural nails.

Blushed Shades
Nail polish colors ranging from light pinks to sweet purples all come in handy this season.

Polish in Love
Classic reds, cherry reds, red nacre... never go out of style! Reds are nail-color staple no matter what the season is. So if you are addicted to red, choose cranberry red this summer.

Melon to Earthly Feel

Lasting from last year, oranges and nudes still take over the nail polish colors world! Choose a touch of peach for a 70's feel.

Navy Blues
The dark navy blue nail color hits the market, and comes with much glitter.

The new polishes are perfect for both fingernails and toes, and also look great with different outfit styles such as classics and fashionable jewelry.

Best Nail Shapes For This Season
This season, nail shapes don't have to be really tall and pointy to be adorable. Short, square nails come in handy, especially with dark hues such as dark navy. Trim, natural- shaped nails are also in FASHION this summer. They are best for nude colors and beiges. Rounded nails are taking much attention this year, as they are a hit from the past, and they are best with gray nail polishes. Long, almond-shaped nails are not a necessity this summer, yet they are required with red nail polishes.
