Summer is the perfect time to experiment with unique nail designs. Whether you're going on vacation or staying in the city, we've gathered 10 fashionable nail art ideas that are suitable for nails of any shape. Get inspired and save them before your salon visit.

Pastel and Nude Aura

Try creating an "aura" with pastel and nude shades that can be easily combined. Don't be afraid to try different colors - pastel tones allow for a variety of hues without looking extravagant.

Asymmetrical Patterns

Asymmetrical patterns are always trendy. This summer, try unique and vibrant combinations like blue and mint or a combination of yellow, orange, and soft pink. You can apply these patterns over transparent or nude neutral base coats.

Shimmering Coverage

Shimmering nail designs are an alternative to pearly or frosted manicures. The special feature of this nail art is not only the iridescent base but also the streaks created by the technician over the uncured polish. You can easily recreate this manicure at home using a dotting tool or a toothpick to draw circular patterns.

Metallic Accents

Add small metallic accents such as streaks, abstract lines, bows, or other designs to diversify a solid-colored manicure. If you prefer three-dimensional designs, ask your technician to create metallic accents using metallic gel - this nail art will not interfere with everyday wear.

Minimalistic Drawings

If you prefer minimalism, you'll love small drawings and patterns executed on a transparent or milky base coat. These can include small crystals, pearls, dried flowers, or other designs depending on your imagination and preferences.

Green Manicure

Green manicures can be vibrant and bold or more subtle and delicate, depending on your preferences. Green polish looks stylish both as a solid color and as a base for nail art.

Classic French with a Twist

You can diversify a classic French manicure with unique patterns and combinations. Ask your technician to use "cat's eye" polish that shimmers beautifully when you move your hands - it's almost impossible to take your eyes off this type of nail art. Another option is a double French manicure with minimalist designs like berries, fruits, or flowers. This fresh-looking design is perfect for a vacation manicure.
