Nine Summertime Nail Colors that Go with Any Situation, Feeling, or Cocktail

Daydreaming by the pool, open-toed shoes, and the age-old query, "What color should I paint my nails?" are all part of the return of summer.

Although social media may still be dominated by color analysis (sure, you may be a Soft Summer, but what if you would rather be all Neon Lemonade?)In actuality, regulations are designed to be disregarded when it comes to nails. particularly throughout the summer.


These nine summer nail colors are not only in style; they are little windows into whichever form of summer you are experiencing this year, whether you are chasing sunsets, shade-surfing under a floppy hat, or simply want to add some color to your Zoom background with a flash of color on your nails.


1. The primary character color is tomato red.

Is this summer officially over for tomato girls? The evidence suggests that the answer is yes. This bright orange-red hybrid, which looks like it just returned from a torrid trip in Naples fueled by espresso, is a favorite of celebrity nail artist Jin Soon Choi. She describes it as "vibrant, translucent, and alive." Imagine it as the color of a ripe tomato, pouring olive oil down your wrist, outrageously vibrant and luscious.


Try:

Orange Poppy Hermès Les Mains Nail Polish

Shine Brightly in Spicy Chili

Addiction Tokyo Vibe (for a more sinister, in-depth twist)

2. The Elegant Softie: Latte Beige

Nothing compares to a beautiful, creamy tan that complements any ensemble, whether you are a mani minimalist or part of the silent luxury set. Latte beige is associated with calmness in the middle of the morning, espresso crème, airy linen slacks, and subtle elegance. It is purposeful, not merely neutral.


Try:

Le Vernis Chanel in Legend

June and Olive at Caramel Budino

Dior Vernis at Cashmere 402

Brown Caramel Clay Côte No. 122


3. Yellow Taxi: Vibrant, Audacious, and a Touch Brazen

This sunny shade captures the energy of a taxi-lined street and the brisk delight of late July spontaneity, straight from the streets of New York City's summer. It is sly. I am happy. It cannot be disregarded.


Try:

JINSoon on Twitter

Mango's Londontown Lakur

In the Jaune Impérial, Hermès

For the somber maximalist, Habit Cosmetics in Yellow (a darker mustard)


4. Capri Blue: For Your Dreams of Italy

This hue can be used as a one-stop passport to the Amalfi Coast. Capri Blue is not subtle, which is precisely what it is meant to be, evoking the unfathomably blue waters of the Blue Grotto. You should stop what you are doing and go jump in the water because of this shade.


Try:

The Seabright Street Nails Inc.

Breezily, Zoya

Essie Unconventional Style

Nail Aprés in Posei Donna

And there are yet more hues to be aware of.

(If you want me to go on to the other five shades, such as Jelly Pink, Acid Green, Sunset Coral, Cloud White, and Lavender Fog, you can also hint.)


The Bottom Line?

Paint your nails like no one is looking this summer. Dress in hues that transport you to a talking, walking vacation. The ideal summertime nail color is the one that makes you smile when you glance down at your hands, regardless of whether you are a soft-beige or tomato-girl.
