Either you can use the same design for all the nails, or keep this one for two or three nails, while the rest would be left blank.
Lime Green Nails
Doesn’t the lime green color appear soothing enough to the eyes? If you feel the same, then go for the nail art design and make it equal for all the nails. But, before starting with the design, make sure to keep the nails pointed, and big so that the colors would fit in perfectly.

If you observe closely, the daisy nails are one of the best summer nail designs which are pleasing to look at. These days, the majority of the daisy nails are featured with pastel blue or light pink colors, where the delicate daisy flowers are designed with white and yellow colors. To try the simplest daisy design starts with six petals of the same shade placed dotted in a circle, and with a different-color ‘bud’ in the center. To get a calm and soothing effect, hues like yellow, white, and pastel blue have become most prominent.
Yellow French Manicure
The yellow French manicures are thought to be making a comeback.

There is the existence of only two colors in this manicure, and sometimes even there is a prominence of yellow.

So, channel your inner madness, create any design you want, and then flaunt with grace. So, all set for some madness?
Minimalist Nail Design
The minimalist techniques and design are used for almost every nail art, which also looks classy and versatile. To think broad, the minimalist nail designs mainly state of a white or pink base, that have the edges done in black or blue while the corner most parts are done in yellow. On the contrary, think of the ‘half-and-half’ nails where the topmost part is done in orange, while the other parts are done in pink. Also, for a pro-tip, you can think of a matte effect while doing the nails.
Abstract Faces Nail Art
The Abstract Faces nail art designs are the latest trend to hit the summer nail designs. Abstract faces nail art does not necessarily mean that the artwork won’t make any sense of its own, however, the sketchy faces are great to look at on the nails. A nude lip and contour work best for abstract nail designs. You can also think of the abstract funny faces done in black amidst the backdrop of a cream-colored nail. Again, need not mention but this naik design looks best with a matte finish.
Holographic Nails
If you are pinning for the experimental nail art designs, then try for the holographic nails. Of course, they are not quite different from the normal nail art designing, apart from the holographic nail polishes that have a pigment called Spectraflair, added to them. Now, the Spectraflair is a pigment made from aluminum and magnesium fluoride, that refracts the light very well, thereby, emitting the holographic properties. Explaining it a bit more, Chrome is thought to be shinier than the Holographic nails and does not bring out well the rainbow color effect under the sun.
Color-Blocked Nail Design
The color blocking technique is quite one of the summer nail designs that are all about showcasing curated combinations of color. This style mainly focuses upon two or three colors and that look cute, with graphic shapes to create the perfect striking impact and vibrant energy. To look back, color blocking arose during the modernist art movement of the 20th century. The best color combo states pink, blue, and black hues that blend well. Of course, you can also think of another combo that has colors like orange, blue, pink, and violet.
Leopard Print Nails
We have thought about the leopard print nails where the design bedazzles with gold striping tape and black chevron tips. Needs no discussion but the bright-looking summer nail designs get an enhancement with the colorful animal prints and designs. However, even after comparing with all the animal prints, we can’t get over the golden and black leopard print nails, that have been a part of the fashion scene for a long time. For the starting, take dark grey polish and white polish as the base coating. Then use Red, Beige or Glitter merged with Golden Beads on the top for accent.
Sunset Inspired Nails
The sunset-inspired nail art designs have their vibes looking like beach-inspired nails. For this nail art, the combination of the colors can easily depict the sunset on an enjoyable summer evening. So, make sure to try out this great nail art design for the perfect summer getaway. Here also, start with the perfect vibrancy by choosing colors like bright yellow, pink, and blue. Set them straight on the nails, and then create the setting sun perfectly. It’s always better to do the motifs in black.
Neon Negative Space Nail Art
While opting for the perfect manicure, you need to think of the blank space in between the colors. Besides, this is one of the summer nail designs where it’s pretty cool to leave a little space. Plus, opting for a sophisticated, and sleek negative-space nail design becomes just the basic update your basic manicure needs to feel rejuvenated again. Negative space nail art mainly depends on diverting the expected and thereby, gives the nails a cool, futuristic feel that we would be crushing on.
Summer Sky Nails
A light turquoise blue is the best color to describe the clear summer sky, especially when it turns dusky. Now, when you have the basic blue as your base, you can try for every single shade that merges well with the blue. The best design is perhaps the turquoise blue shade that’s placed in the middle with darker hues of blue placed on the borders, corners, and edges. For this pattern also, there’s no other option than sharp pointed nails.
Bright Nail Tip
The bright nail tips are quite the fashion statement that has taken a wide hit on everyone. The bright nails refer to placing the bright hues on the top to make them look attractive, and for this design, you can also use the glossy effect. The common ones in this genre include smearing the entire nail in a peachy pink shade and then placing fluorescent yellow shade on the top and on the edges. It’s better to opt for plain and simple for this one.
Cute Pastel Marble Nails
We have dealt in-depth with the marble-designed nails and the pastel-colored nails. Now, it’s time we merge both the designs and create a cute style to be loved by all. The best part remains that you get to use a lot of pastel shades which would set the tone right, and of course, place the needed glossy effect to create the best design. Each of your nails can depict each of the pastel shades and make them look better.
Yin Yang Nails
The Yin Yang nails are one of the oldest symbols to gain a fanbase. They date back to ancient China, where the yin yang symbol contains a circle made up of two swirling halves, where one is dark and the other light. Here, each side has a dot of the opposite color. Yin symbolizes the dark half of the symbol while yang refers to the light swirl. The Yang represents the male side with dominance and positivity, while the Yin side represents femininity with submission.
Watermelon Nails
Watermelon makes the summers bearable, and so it’s time we also get them on our nails. Besides, they are quite easy to create where we just need to have a basic understanding of colors like green, red, pink, and black and decide the proper way in which they are supposed to get placed. For this, color the base red, the edges in green, and make small dots on the red-based nail. Let your fingers look like mini watermelons and feel the fun.
Cute Sunflower Nails
The sultry summers also make us reminded of the cute sunflowers. Besides, the sunflower always follows the sun, thereby depicting a positive side. The bright yellow makes a striking contrast with the dark brown shade. The sunflowers have become an exquisite nail art and a trendy theme for manicures in the recent past. Besides, while doing the nail art, the original sunflower colors also get merged in the other shades, raising creativity at its peak. So, which blend is your favorite?
Flamingo Nails
Yes, they mean a flamingo being etched on the nails painted in green, while the flamingo is placed in pink. The combo of green and pink on the nails looks exotic yet unique and requires less time to dry. What more do we need from the manicure? I guess, nothing. There is another design that states the same thing but here the colors are pink and white instead. Try on both and then pick your flamingo.
