7 summer manis we've bookmarked for the season

There are just a few things better than catching a glimpse of a fresh mani mid-coffee sip. And if you love that feeling too, you’re going to be saving and screenshotting the mani ideas we’ve rounded up for the summer: think sunset swirls, soapy finishes and chunky florals. Give your nail tech a heads up—these are worth taking to your next appointment.

Pastel aura

Aura manicures are everywhere but, this time, we’re making them seasonal with a pastel twist—think soft washes of pink, orange, yellow, blue and green. Place these under some abstract designs for a softer finish. The best part? This mani will complement every poolside drink you post.

Iced matcha tips

Matcha lovers, this mani looks as good as your go-to summer drink. Simply blend the soft shades of matcha green and milky white and top them up with 2D translucent cubes for that just-poured effect. It’s the perfect set for whatever’s on your calendar—morning meetings, happy hours or a bridesmaid brunch for summer wedding planning.

Chunky florals

Summer is all about trying something new—so why not let your nails in on the fun? Bright, solid colours set the base, while hand-painted florals make each fingertip look unique. Keep the flowers chunky for a cool, almost doodled-on look. This design is a must-try, especially if your nails are on the shorter side.

Soap nails

If the clean girl aesthetic had a signature mani, this would be it. Soap nails are a fresh take on neutral nudes that are literally everywhere. Think of the bare-nail glow you achieve after you’ve just indulged in some nail-care—the kind that makes your hands look polished without trying too hard. This manicure delivers that finish, perfect for when you want a reset but still love a familiar, understated look.

Sunset swirls

You know the perfect summer sunset—the kind that stops you in your tracks? This mani channels that exact vibe. A soft, gradient mix of coral, deep yellow and pastel pink mimics the sky at golden hour, with cute swirls that keep it playful. For the full effect, pair it with the viral sunset eyeshadow look and wear it to the sundowner event you’ve been counting down to all summer. Trust us, it's the moment.

Gingham frenchies

Got a picnic with the girl gang coming up? Show up with gingham French tips that match the memo. Play around with colours—mix and match and make them yours. Pair them with that sundress you've been waiting to wear, sip on something sweet and spend the afternoon deep in chats with your besties.

Cat-eye nails

We’re sure this nail trend has been all over our feeds and, honestly, it’s the perfect time to try it. Cat-eye manis are glossy, reflective and made to catch the light (and compliments). Our top pick? A soft pink shimmer—it’s subtle but still gives that hypnotic glow. Not into pink? Any light shade works, as long as it has a mirror-like finish. Whether you're out in the sun or under café lights, these nails do the work.
