Navy style is almost always trendy. But it is more summery than putting some navy outfit during the winter. This navy nail art design is so cool. You need 3 different colour nail polish: red, white and dark blue and there you are!
Ombre Nails

First, it was ombre hair, and now it’s ombre nails. With ombre nails, you can combine two or three of your favourite nail colours to create a pretty cool gradient pattern. No wonder, ombre nails are so uniquely beautiful, and the colour palette is enormous! From statement neon ombre nails to classic beige or black for the day.
Metallic Nails

This trend is actually one we’ve tried before, but it’s still in this summer. We love how a metallic colour looks on your ring finger when the rest of your nails are painted a different colour. You can also add metallic into your nail look by just painting your tips a metallic colour.
DIY Velvet Manicure
Now there is the Velvet manicure. Ciaté has not launched their Velvet Manicure kits yet, though they are supposed to land at Sephora within a month. But you do not have to spend much money on that; you can make the velvet nails by yourself. Just follow the instructions.
White Nails

Are we the only ones used to paint our nails with White-Out when we were bored in class? Well, we guess that paved the way for this next trend. If you are too afraid of white polish, you can opt for a light pink instead. Try Fiji by Essie. It’s one of our favourites!
Neon Rainbow

Make a loud statement this Summer with neon rainbow tie-dye nail art. It’s colourful, cheerful and they will fit all your clothes. It’ll brighten things right up!

Watermelon Nail Art
It isn’t summering without some sliced watermelon somewhere in the equation, so why not sport this tasty fruit on your nails? Look how they nice are, the best combination of green and pink colours.
