Beauty 101: Summer Nail Polish Colors

Summer Nail Polish Colors

Summer nails are all about fun designs and color! Whether a girly look is desired or an edgy look, any style can be achieved.

  1. Blues and purples work for all seasons and style depending on the shade. Purple is the color of royalty and looks great on a variety of skin tones. Bluer shades are youthful and peaceful and, like purple, work with various skin tones.
  2. Pinks and reds are very classic summer colors. These colors look great with a more girly look, especially when paired with glitter and sparkly polishes. Pinks are great for an everyday look while red is even more perfect for a more classic and classy look. 
  3. Nudes, white, and sparkly polishes are perfect for a simple manicure. These colors look amazing for a more formal look or a very clean nail look.

My Nail Polish Faves


Neutrals polishes are beautiful colors on all skin tones which is why they're some of my favorite nail polish colors. I like my neutrals in various shades browns and greys, sometimes deep blues and purples, because I love the subtleness and simplicity it gives my nails. The best neutral colors in my opinion come from the O.P.I. and China Glaze nail brands.

Every girl has to own at least one glitter nail polish. Glitter nail polish give you a touch of glam girliness whether the glitter covers your entire nail or is working as a top coat over a solid color. What I love is that glitter nail polish is great for an accent nail and work for any style. However, the downside to glitter is that it's tough to get off and requires an acetone nail polish remover. Sally Hansen and O.P.I have the best options for glitter nail polish.

Pink, orange, and red nail polishes are my top oils for bright spring and summer nail looks. Pinks are perfect for sprin and flower nail designs while reds are classic and can be bright enough to compete with the summer sun. Orange nail polishes are quirky cool because they are bright and different. I love getting my colorful polishes from all types of brands and always use a white base coat to make the colors appear brighter.


A nail file, clippers, cuticle cream, and an overall nail kit are a must if you want to keep your nails looking good. Never file your nails going straight across or attempt to make big changes with just a file, clip the nail first and use the file for adjustments while filing all in one direction. Clip your nails when they break to not case further breakage and chipping, don't ever use your teeth! A good cuticle cream will help to keep your nails feel and look smooth and super clean.

What I'm Loving

What I'm Loving

I have been loving so many things these past couple weeks and I had to share them with you guys! I feel like I am going through this edgy, quirky, casual, etc. outfit phase that goes with my mood for each day. Wedge booties and combat boots have been on my feet almost every other day. Both pairs are so comfty and can be worn edgy, casual, and even be mixed into a girly style. On my hands and fingers I have been mix and matching gold and silver rings as well as varieties of bracelets. I have even been ecperimenting with the new fall nail polish trends like regal purples and blues. Lastly a new must have for me are boyfriend sweaters mixed with black jeans that are perfect for fall.

Must Have Friday: So Pretty Nails

Must Have: So Pretty Nails

Bright neon nails and beautiful ombre designs are such a trend for nail polish fans. I am currently loving Essie's new lines of nail polish, although they did chip very fast on my nails. I personally have been really into light blue polishes as well as a blend of coral/pink nail colors. I also have been wanting to try the Ciate brand of nail polishes, I have seen tons of bloggers and YouTube gurus talking about them! My own nails have been in a momentary retirement from lots of designs because too much nail polish remover and lots of painting can cause your nails to get weak and start peeling which is not pretty. Don't worry though, I am definitely trying out a new ombre design and a few other nail tricks that I will be sure to post about!
