Are you looking for chic and trendy summer nail ideas?
Great!
You’re in the right spot!
I’ve had ton of fun putting this summer nails collection together.
I have been enjoying doing my own gel nails at home (and saving a bunch of $ while doing it!).
So this post mostly features shorter natural nail designs.
But almost all of these designs would look AWESOME on acrylic or longer nails as well.
You’ll find bright and summery colors with fun and creative details that will keep people asking… ‘where did you get those done?!’
Let’s get to it!

#1) Watermelon Summer Nail Idea
Twinkled T posted this fresh and fun nails design!
I was thinking this would be a fun one to recreate at home with my pastel gel colors.
The only thing I’ll need is a small nail art brush to pain on the watermelon seeds!
#2) Colored French Tip Nail Design Idea
I am so in love with colored french tips like these pretty pink nails from Beautiful Dawn Designs.
French tip your fingers in your favorite bright summery colors, and have your toes done to match!
So pretty.
#3) Modern Angle Summer Nail Idea
Paint Box showcases this unique and edgy summer nail idea.
I absolutely love the color combo, and the sharp angled colors.
If you’re wondering how you (or your nail artist) can execute this design.
You’ll be amazed at what you can create with a small angled brush and a little acetone to help clean up and straighten the edges.
#4) Gorgeous Pink Orange Summer Nail Color
Cupcake Polish showcases this gorgeous orangey pink summer nail polish.
I’m so in love with this color!

Beauty Nails Clip shows this absolutely gorgeous ombre nail design idea!
I have no idea how to DIY this design, but i’m guessing any savvy nail technician will. 😉
#6) Classic Bright Pink Summer Manicure
A classic never dies, like these gorgeous hot pink nails from Kokoist USA!
I love the modern almond shape, and the pretty florescent hot pink color.

I’m calling these fun trendy nails from Indie’s Beauty Room the side swipe nail.
Love the creative design, and fading orange/yellow colors.

These trendy nails that I found on Pinterest were at the very top of my feed!
I love the easy design and simple accent on the ring and pinky finger.
So cute!

This would look great in any combination or summer hue.

#14) Teal Fade Summer Nail Design Idea
Mart.Maart posted these gorgeous detailed teal nails.
I love the stenciled detailing that fades to light toward the end.
But even if you can’t do this, they would look awesome without the intricate stenciling!
#15) Peach and Lime Summer Nail Idea
Are these summer nails from Taryn’s Nails gorgeous, or what?
I love this beautiful color combo and the detailing in the middle is so impressive!
Happy Summer Nail Designing!
I hope you found some summer nail designs you love and can sport this summer!
If you didn’t find what you are looking for, you might want to take a peek at these cute and trendy spring nails designs as well.
They are full of bright and fresh colors as well that would work well for the summer months too. 🙂
Cheers for now my friends!
