Summer is here—filled with fruity cocktails, pool parties, beach days, and endless amounts of fun. The warmer months always remind us to slow down, sit back and make some time for yourself. One of our favorite “me time” activities to indulge in? Painting our nails! Have a little fun with them this summer by incorporating any of these 7 pretty pink designs that we think are perfect for this time of year!

Pretty Polka Dots

The best part about this summertime nail trend? You can easily DIY this style at home if your nail salon is still closed. Start with your base color and let that dry. Next, grab a toothpick or bobby pin and your favorite polka dot colors. Dab a little bit of each nail polish color onto a piece of paper, then dip your toothpick or bobby pin in and gently dab onto your nails. Voilà! Summer nail trend complete!

Half Dips

The nail trend of the summer, half dips have been taking the internet by storm! This look is easy enough to do yourself and goes a step beyond a basic manicure. This minimalist look involves—yep, you guessed it—dipping the top half of your fingertips in nail polish and leaving the bottom bare. DIY tip: to get that perfect, crisp line, dip a nail brush into polish remover and skim it across your nail, creating the perfect dividing line.

Wavy Tips

French tips are so 2000’s! Take your mani into this decade by putting a fun spin on the classic—wavy tips! Leave the base of your nail clear using a shiny topcoat or paint it any color you desire and then add some waves to your tips for a truly groovy mani.

Pink Gradient

Another design you can easily do yourself, this trend is all about choosing similar colors all in the same shade range and popping a different color onto each finger. DIY tip: starting from your left pinky and working towards the right, apply your darkest shade and then choose a slightly lighter shade as you work your way to the right. The result? A beautiful spectrum of pretty pinks adorning your fingers.

Neon Ombre

This summer is all about the neon and why not take that trend to your nails? Take it up a notch by adding an ombre effect with a fluorescent orange or deep magenta. We promise heads will turn when they spot your funky nails from a mile away!

Stary Set

The miniature details on this manicure trend can really take a plain pink mani to the next level! Even though the 4th of July may have come and gone, we don’t see this nail art trend going anywhere this summer. Ask you nail tech to apply foiled star appliques or have them draw them on for a fun, fresh look.

Reverse French

IG@heynicenails

Pair this trend with another pastel color like a light, powder blue or a lovely lavender and you'll find this muted color combo really makes your nails pop! DIY tip: paint your entire nail with your pale pink color and let that dry. Then, use a fine tip nail brush and paint a small, crescent moon shape at the base of your nail, near your cuticle.

We hope you found some inspiration in these pretty pink nail designs! Summer is a great time to have some fun with your nails, so have yourself a little #SelfcareSunday this weekend and dive into one of these easy DIY trends!
