When you think of summer, you think of summer nails. And, when you think of summer nails, you think of vibrant colors. The best summer nails are colorful and bold and are perfect for the season. While you may be tempted to go for a bright, saturated color, just think twice. Because neon colors can make your fingers look shorter. But too much color can distract from the nails themselves. As a general rule, longer nails look best with one or two colors. While shorter nails look better with three or more colors.
Summer is coming! So, we here at summer nail colors wanted to write a post about some of our favorite trends and summer nail art styles. Pick up the best styles and try them out for this summer. Of course, this is a helpful guide for those who plan to vacation on hot days. Furthermore, it gives our readers a look at some easy, and relaxed summer nail looks to try out right now.
1. Summer Nails with Cloud Nail Art
Summer is finally here! And that means it’s time to show off your nails. The hottest nail trend of the season is cloud nail art. It’s a look that manages to look both ethereal and edgy at the same time. Clouds appear as a base for the other nail colors in these looks, and you can easily do this look with fake nails.
Cloud nail art is a type of nail art that I have seen popping up everywhere lately. It usually involves a turquoise blue or green base with accent white, pink, or yellow nails.
Some people even add a different kind of accent to give it a 3D look. First, I saw it on Instagram, and I noticed that people were going crazy about it. As a result, I wanted to know what exactly it was and why it was so popular. I love it and will try it out.

Once your polish is dry, use a nail art brush dipped in the primary color of your choice to create a half-moon shape. Then, using a dotting tool, pick up little bits of the secondary color and apply them to the inside of your half-moon.
This approach will create a gradient effect that will transition from the color of your nail to the color of your base coat.
