Summer calls for bright funky nails! Whether it’s shimmering glitter at sunset or vibrant tropical nail art at the beach, now is the best time to rock nail art! Naturally, you don’t want to be trapped inside on a gorgeous summer day just to do your nails. After all, what’s the use of having a beautiful manicure if you can’t show it off and admire it in the summer sunlight?

So here are 8 incredibly quick and super easy options to have perfect summer nails, without wasting away your day (or night) inside!

1. Abstract Negative Space nails by @sohotrightnail

Put a couple different striping nail tapes and shattered glass foil pieces varying in length on a clear base. Cover it with a top coat. It’s just that easy. Not only that, but it meets the standards for at least two of the top trends this year, abstract and negative space. You can’t beat this ease and simplicity!

2. Aztec nails by @so_nailicious

Bright and white, this sleek, aztec nail design is the perfect manicure for a day sunbathing by the pool. It will go with anything and is so quick and easy. To get the look, simply apply these Aztec nail stickers and thin silver tape over the white base, secure it all with a top coat and you’re good to go keep working on your tan!

8. Positano inspired Summer nails by @so_nailicious

Summer nail designs are all about brightness and shine, but if you’re looking for something a little more different, this is the perfect look. It’s as easy as straight lines, dots (using a dotting tool or even a tooth pick) and two blue nail polishes of your choice to add the Mediterranean vibe to your fingertips. If you need a step-by-step, here’s tutorial.
