Summer is the favorite season for nail designs, without a doubt. Maybe it's the sun, the summer dresses, or the holiday energy that's everywhere, but during the warmer months we always want to try something a little more fun with our manicures, especially when we're planning a trip.
Whether you like extravagant designs or prefer something minimalist and elegant, read on for the most perfect summer manicures to save for your next salon appointment.
Below, the most beautiful ideas for holiday nails, for every summer adventure.
Striped nails

This beach towel-inspired design will look so cute while you're lounging by the sea. You can choose thin stripes all over your nail or just on the tips. Play with the colors you like the most, because there's no wrong choice here.
Pearl nails

The pearly sheen is ideal for summer and pairs perfectly with jewelry. You can also add small pearls, puffy textures, or rainbow-effect bases to personalize it.
“Ocean” nails

Adapt your nails to the seaside atmosphere of the place where you will be vacationing this summer. Draw sea creatures, shells, tropical flowers or any other detail that reminds you of the beach. This is the elegant version of the "mermaid" style.
Pink glitter nails

If you want something simple but luxurious, choose a shimmery pink that goes with any outfit. Keep it slightly sheer for that jelly-like effect and it will go perfectly with any holiday outfit.
Dotted nails

Dotted nails were everywhere last summer, but this minimalist version with just one or two dots looks much more elegant. Choose your favorite color combinations and strategically place the dots on your nails or on top of your French manicure for a simple yet interesting look.
Flower nails

Floral manicures are a warm-weather classic, but this year they're coming in a lot of interesting variations. If you want something different than traditional florals, try a splash of color or textured, 80s-inspired floral designs.
"European summer" nails

If you're traveling to Europe this summer, or just want to get into the mood, try a Mediterranean-inspired manicure. From tiny sardines like on the French Riviera to elegant Italian tile motifs, every detail takes you straight to a seaside vacation. Just looking at them will make you want to pack your suitcase.
