Coolest Summer Nails To Try In 2023

1.Rainbow Corner

For a unique twist on the rainbow French manicure, we love this double diagonal line trend.

2.Diamond-Adorned Nails

Taylor Swift isn't the only one getting gems – these easy-to-apply press-on nails instantly elevate any look.

3.Mermaid Chrome

Thanks to the Little Mermaid film, the mermaidcore trend is going strong, and chrome hasn't faded since the shiny donut nails emerged. This metallic teal and purple combo is the best of both worlds.

4.Heart Nails

These heart-shaped nails, inspired by favorite Powerpuff Girls and Gen Z phone cases, have been popping up everywhere. With bold red and pink colors, they feel truly summer-ready.

5.Cartoon Clouds

Cloud nails may have been a winter trend, but cloud cartoon nails give us a total summer vibe. Unlike the more stylish clouds that have emerged, these cartoon clouds can be easily created. All you need is a good art brush and the perfect milky white color (try Orly French Tips).

6.American Manicure

For Nicola Peltz's wedding to Brooklyn Beckham, celebrity manicurist Tom Bachik adorned Peltz's nails with a '90s-inspired American manicure – think of it as a French manicure but with less defined starting and ending points. We expect to see softer styles like this everywhere this summer.

8.Bright Stars

A cluster of neon stars will make you feel ready for the beach in seconds. If the thought of freehanding stars with a nail brush stresses you out, simply stick star-shaped sequins near your cuticles for the same effect.

9.Mixed Checkboard

ICYMI, checkerboard nails are a major frontrunner as the coolest summer nail design this year. We particularly love this mix-and-match set.

10.Butterflies

These tiny butterflies will remind you of bright days ahead. (If you can't make them yourself, try these stickers.)

11.70s Swirl

Graphic yet simple nail art will be your best friend this summer. Give it a retro vibe with earthy neutral tones and mustard shades like Paintbox's Like Lush + Like Flora Power Couple.

12.Rainbow French

Add a sweet touch to the classic French manicure with miniature rainbow tips, complete with cloud details.
