What type of nail designs and ideas are trending for summer 2024?

Want to level up your go-to mani? Here are the summer nail trends that are dominating our Pinterest boards in 2024!
- Bright + Bold: After months of muted hues, we’re celebrating the sunshine with bright, dopamine-inducing nail designs. Think: rainbow color palettes, botanical nail art, and dreamy aura nails.
- Funky French: French tips are always in style, but this summer they’re leveling up with pastel hues, floral designs, and funky touches. Now’s your chance to experiment with this classic look!
- Clean Girl Nails: For the minimalists, prepare to fall in love with the clean girl summer nails trend. This style is all about natural, glossy, healthy-looking nails that glow from within — also known as lip gloss nails!
In 2024, the best colors for your summer nails are….all of them! Rainbow hues are taking over, and we are here for it. From pastel ombre designs to neon French tips, this trend is perfect for indecisive nail lovers who struggle to choose just one hue (we see you).
Another bright nail trend that’s on our radar for summer 2024? Dreamy blue hues. Inspired by cloudless skies and ocean waves, this color oozes summer vibes. And with so many different shades to choose from, there’s a perfect blue for every style. Tiffany blue? Blueberry milk? Mermaid-inspired turquoise? The options are truly endless!
And last, but certainly not least, we’re loving the lavender haze that has taken over our summer mood boards. It’s a soft and romantic alternative to pink, and it’s the ultimate color for your Eras Tour nail design!

If your summer bucket list looks anything like ours, then your nails are going to need some serious TLC throughout the season. From swimming to traveling, your favorite summer activities can quickly start to wear down your healthy nails.
To prep your mani for all these summer must-dos, we suggest using a strengthening topcoat over your polish. This will protect your nails from the elements and keep your summer design looking fresh for as long as possible.
Cuticle oil is also a lifesaver when it comes to protecting your nails from the summer heat and dry air. Apply a few drops to your nail beds every day along with your favorite sunscreen (which will also keep your bright polishes from fading!) and you’re pretty much golden.
Now that you’re prepped and ready to go, it’s time for some inspo! We’ve rounded up our favorite summer nail design ideas for all styles, from coffin shapes to gel manis to ombre hues.
Clear out your camera roll, because we’ve rounded up the best bright and bold nail ideas for your next summer mani! This year, we’re boosting our summer serotonin with vibrant hues and fun color combos. You won’t find any neutrals here!
As we mentioned above, rainbow nails are all over our summer inspo boards — but we’re not stopping there. Keep scrolling for our favorite bright summer nail ideas for all styles and color palettes, from neon pinks to pastel greens to bold reds!
