Out of all the seasonal nail trends of the year, summer nails are quite possibly my favourite. While I love the timeless appeal of autumnal colours or festive nail designs, there is nothing like a fresh hit of summer on your fingertips as the long-anticipated warm weather finally arrives. After a long winter and chilly spring, I’m welcoming the new season with open arms.
Summer is the time of year when my nail game is naturally on its top form. With holidays, weddings and summer soirees filling the season, there are plenty of excuses to book in for a manicure that will see you through this time of year. Whether it’s long-wearing gel nails that will see you through your holiday or out-of-office antics or fun nail art, summer is the perfect time to dust off those bright nail colours that we stashed away in the winter and experiment with sunnier hues that match the optimism of the season. Because even if the UK doesn’t deliver on the warm. weather, we can still tap into that sunny feeling on our fingertips.
All of this made me wonder what summer nail trends will be big in 2023. So, I asked two two top nail technicians and experts, Iram Shelton and Tinu Bello, who tend to the nails of some of London’s sleekest for all the details on the nail colours and nail art that we’ll see this summer.
