Beauty & Fashion
Rihanna is the queen of all things beauty and style, and along with her brightly-colored summer makeup collection and new luxury fashion line, she also debuted another summer trend that will accent your bold seasonal look.
Recently, the singer appeared in a new ad for her luxury brand FENTY with a fresh set of lime green claws that are sure to be this season's hottest look. This spring, rainbow nails took social media by storm, but now, it's time to put away the pastels and look forward to rocking a set of neon nails that will light up your summer.
Is it me, or do fingers look more like Vienna sausages without the help of a fresh set of acrylics? Never fear, xoNecole is here with a whole heap of summer nail art inspo that you'll be dying to sink your hooks into. The best part is, many of these looks will look great no matter how long your claws are and are likely available in a press-on set.
Along with neon nails, here are a few other summer nail trends that will have you feeling like all that and a bag of chips:
Polka Dots
Something about polka dots just says "fun," but you can intensify this look by adding contrasting colors to your otherwise monochromatic set.
▲Bandana Nails
Bandanas are an old school article of clothing, normally used for either gangbanging or effectively tying your edges down, but now you can show off your unique street style by adding this print to your nail bed.
▲Classic Lettering
These classic letters give me so much life and I have literally never thought of more 10-letter words in my life.
▲Negative Space
Negative space eyeshadow is a growing trend among celebrities this season, but with this trend, you can coordinate your eye-catching look with little-to-no effort at all.
▲Animal Print
Lions, and tigers, and bears, oh my! The next time you're in the nail shop, show the world your savage side and unleash your inner beast with a wild animal print.
▲Tie Dye
A summer of leisure and relaxation wouldn't quite be complete without adding a dash of tie dye to the mix. If you're not quite ready to let your hippie flag fly, give off a subtle vibe by trying this trend on an accent nail.
▲The New French
You've probably seen this modern spin on an old school classic all up and down your timeline by now, and the new French is guaranteed to score you a few compliments from women of all walks of life. Spice up this trend by asking for colored tips.
▲Iridescent Confetti
It's a proven fact that shiny things make people significantly happier. Okay, well, maybe this fact hasn't been proven, but these iridescent flakes are making all of my diva senses tingle and I am here for it.
▲Marble
Whether it's a backsplash, countertop, tile, or your nails, you really just can't go wrong with marble. Try this look on an accent nail with a neutral full set and I guarantee that you'll feel classy AF.
▲Chrome
Put some respect on your nails with this eye-catching trend that will dress up even the most casual outfit. Chrome is often available as an overlay polish that you can apply to just about any color, so let loose, sis!
▲The Ultimate Drip
Came through drippin' takes on a whole new meaning when it comes to a set like this. Use contrasting colors like white and red, pink and green, or blue and yellow to really set off this trendy look.
▲Watercolor & Gold Flakes
A dope mix between marble and tie dye nails, watercolor nails are the summer nail trend you didn't know you needed. Add gold flakes for extra glam.
▲Str8 Flames
The best way to heat up the summer is to light a flame, and recently, more and more women have decided to do exactly that with their manicures. This look is dope in any color, but get a nail tech to use orange, red, black, and white to really turn heads.
▲Glass Nails
For the woman who likes to keep it simple and savage at the same damn time, glass nails are the perfect trend for you. With a transparent set like this, it's impossible to go unnoticed.
