35 Bright Summer Nail Designs

11. Summer French Tip Nails

Do you want to spruce up your French polish? Instead of going for the classic white tips with a natural pink base, go for a rose gold or gold tip with vibrant colours for the base.  Choose five different bright colours and you’ll look amazing.

Neon colours are necessary every summer. Why not think outside the box and go for neon flowers instead of the standard neon solid nails.  This is a quirky style which will add the summer vibe to any outfit.

Get your five a day with all different fruits on your nails. Look how gorgeous and unique these fruits look on your nails.  Stick to a glossy base to show off the design.  It will remind you to eat your fruit every day, which is never a bad thing!

16. Matte Design for Long Nails

Matte nails are becoming more popular than glossy nails. This summer, show off your sexy matte nails which look magnificent on longer nails.  To create this look, go for a natural looking base with a bright colour for the tips, then paint over with your matte finish.

17. Purple Watermelons anyone?

We are loving this bright and fun style. Watermelons are yummy and perfect for nail art.  Paint a few watermelons on your fingernails but use a subtle pastel purple, which looks amazing.  Add a few rhinestones for the extra bling.
