Discover Bright Summer Nails That Celebrate the Colors of the Season Below:

Mangonada Checkers

Summer Nails

Have you ever had the Mexican sweet treat Mangonada? It’s a frozen mango beverage with a sweet and spice syrup that delivers the sweet heat we all crave on summer days. These nails look like a celebration of the beverage that is colored bright orange and red. For your bright summer nails, turn to sweet treats like ice cream and snow cones for nail inspiration!

Lime Time

Summer Nails
Instagram

We were not kidding when we told you bright summer nails are all about the sweetness of summer. In this example, we find lime-inspired nails with lime wedges and rounds painted in electric, lime green. Turn to citrus for inspiration and you will not regret it. Oh, so juicy!

I Scream, You Scream

Summer Nails
Instagram

We promise we’re not trolling you with food-inspired bright summer nails. It’s just the thing to do this summer. How fun are these little popsicles done in orange, pink, and green? The sweet colors really pop on that matte, lilac background. There’s a little sparkle here for good measure and we’re all for it.

Pastel Melon

Summer Nails
Instagram

How darling are these bright summer nails that look like tiny little watermelons? Going pastel with the pale green and pink really works well for this design. If you’re looking for an easy nail look to pull off at home, only two of the ten nails have detail on them. The rest are just painted a single shade. How delicious!

Golden Hour

Summer Nails
Instagram

If you’re looking for a way to go monochromatic with your bright summer nails, we urge you to consider gold. We find a buttery lemon color next to some golden, glittery nails that offer a slight contrast while still reading warm and sunny for both. If you don’t want your bright summer nails to upstage you, something similar would be the way to go.

Mix and Match That Set

Bright Summer Nails
Instagram

Do you want your bright summer nails to look like a collage of warm weather delights? Mix it up a bit! By choosing contrasting colors and unique designs for each nail, you can create a one-of-a-kind set that celebrates summer in a style that’s totally your own. Throw caution to the wind and get creative for a fun and youthful look like this.

Be a Pastel Punk

Summer Nails
Instagram

Similar to the last set of bright summer nails we shared with you are these even wilder mix-and-match nails that look like punk rock with a playful twist. Smiley faces, neon flames, a monster eye, and some sparkle all come together thanks to a purple, pink, and green color scheme that makes each nail look singular while also acting in harmony.

Abstract Art

Summer Nails
Instagram

Dancing brushstrokes of vibrant color grace these nails and contrast with elegant black elements that really make those bright hues pop. For understated yet fun bright summer nails, consider an abstract scheme that finds colors that look great with each other and you could end up with a little masterpiece on each nail.

Intentional Flower Power

Summer Nails
Instagram

Take a close look at those nails with little white flowers on them. Now, zoom out and look at the color on the other nails. Only three colors (red, green, and yellow) and white have been used to create these bright summer nails. The same colors used to compose the flowers are also featured on the less-busy nails for a look that’s very put together.

Pink Sunset

Summer Nails
Instagram

These bright summer nails look like the evening sky as it transforms from pale blue to pink as the sun sets. What a dreamy ombré effect on those center nails that also contain a very subtle sparkle. Little white hearts are the icing on the cake with these beautiful babies.

Get On This Wavelength

Summer Nails
Instagram

A mellow orange and a coral pink marvelously marry in these bright summer nails. Organic wave shapes course through these nails with the colors flipped for contrast on each hand. If your looking for nails that make an impact but don’t take your spotlight, something with just two colors like this is going to look fun and youthful but also chill and cool.

Neon Marble Nails

Summer Nails
Instagram

If, however, you are looking for bright summer nails that make the biggest impact possible, consider going neon with your colors and to use a whole bunch of them to create a marble effect. Thes nails are turned all the way up to a 10 and we’re sure you can spot them from across a room. For statement nails, you could find no better way to make those claws glow.

The Brights Next to Black

Summer Nails
Instagram

We know the topic of this list is bright summer nails but we can’t help to gawk at these nails that use black to contrast with the bright colors for a superior pop of brightness. High contrast nails are such a good idea and a great way to create drama with your nail designs with minimal effort.

Technicolor Tiger Stripes

Summer Nails
Instagram

How about some tiger stripes for those bright summer nails? We find a myriad of colors here with some fun accent nails that look like they’ve been painted with rainbow tiger stripes. It’s a very cool concept that’s worth exploring if you’re feeling a little wild this summer. Gow wild with them!

Make a Splash

Summer Nails
Instagram

These bright summer nails are a rainbow splash of color and energy. This sort of scheme results in designs that read as full of movement. The “drips” draw the eye up the nails and each color here is electric which just gives the whole look plenty of happy vibes.

Cherry Bomb

Summer Nails
Instagram

Where are the girls (and boys) who love pink? These bright summer nails are a celebration of the sweet fruit and this person has gone above and beyond with the pale pink base. They also didn’t go overboard with the little cherries and instead serve just a hint of them on two nails for each hand. What a sweet, summery treat!

Pink Lemonade

Bright Summer Nails

We’re sticking with pink with this next set of bright summer nails, electric pink that is. It totally radiates on top of a bright yellow color which reads like the classic colors for pink lemonade. Although there are only two main colors in play, each nail has painted differently and offers plenty of variety. So switch it up for a more playful and flirty look or keep things uniform for something that’s less busy but equally as energetic.

Blue Lagoon Nails

Bright Summer Nails
Instagram

If summer means time spent on the beach or out on the ocean, bright summer nails inspired by the seas could be the perfect option for you. We find a palm tree at night, the bubbles of the ocean, an areal beach scene, and a nail that is scalloped with fish scales. Blue and green are not as popular as you might think among bright summer nails but it’s clear they really should be.

Double French

Bright Summer Nails
Instagram

How about these double French bright summer nails? The color combinations here are truly excellent and this person has not been fearful of trying unconventional pairings. The end result is a classic yet distinct look that looks clean and measured. If you like your nails timeless and tidy, feel free to go in this direction.

Colorful Geometric Shapes

Bright Summer Nails
Instagram

Similar to the abstract bright summer nails we shared with you earlier, these nails play with shape and color in such a visually interesting and inspired way. Pops of color are tempered and contrasted with bold black lines that run through each nail. If you want nails that read as pure summer but don’t like cutesy fruits and the like, an abstract look would be the best option for you.

Rainbow Twist

Bright Summer Nails
Instagram

How about these rainbow tips? We understand that rainbow colors are nothing new among bright summer nails but we do really like the way these tips turned out. If you’re looking to show your pride or just have an affinity for rainbows, something similar could be the cheerful vibe for you.

Anchors Away!

Bright Summer Nails
Instagram

Here’s another set of bright summer nails that’s all about the sea. We’re treated to a nautical theme here with red, white, blue, and shimmering gold colors. These nails look so whimsical and inspired without being over-the-top or kitsch. If you plan on spending some time on a boat this summer, you know what to do.

Aloha!

Bright Summer Nails
Instagram

These bright summer nails look like a slice of paradise. Wow! We find different shades of pink, with varying degrees of sparkle and some botanical elements that should remind you of paradise. If you’ve got a Hawaiian vacation planned, we can think of no better way to get into the spirit than with cheerful nails like these.

There you go! We hope you feel inspired by these bright summer nails and will use some of these looks as inspiration this season.

These tips strike a perfect balance. On one hand you find a warm color palette and on the other a cool one. If you’re looking for a good way to balance the colors on each hand, you could do something similar!

Spin Art Bright Summer Nails

Summer Nails
Instagram

Have you ever seen anything like these nails? We’re not sure how the artist pulled this off but we imagine a needle raked through wet nail polish was how it was achieved. At any rate, these bright summer nails are truly a marvel. Each nail looks like a mini piece of spin art. We’re obsessed!

Variations on a Theme

Summer Nails
Instagram

We’ve some very bright-colored nails on this list, but you can still pull off the multi-colored look with more muted tones. We find black, gray, and light pink here for a nice, refined look.

Keep It Humble

Summer Nails
Instagram

Here’s another example that does not take things way over the top. Nice, muted colors that pair well together are going to be perfect for someone who doesn’t want their nails to be the focal point of their whole look.

Cover the Bases

Summer Nails
Instagram

The nice, nude base color looks marvelous here but it’s taken to the next level with these little bands of color near the nailbed. It’s still bright and playful but it does show some restraint.

Get Swirly, Girly

Summer Nails
Instagram

Here’s another way to give your colored nails some wavy lines that look so cool. These nails look like they’ve been candy-striped which is always a good thing in our opinion.

Dot Girl Summer

Summer Nails
Instagram

You can get a cute colored nails look by just applying many multi-colored dots. Don’t they look so fun? They almost look like eggshells or candy.

Express Yourself

Summer Nails
Instagram

If you’ve got an afternoon set aside for your colored nails project, you can really go to town. These nails are works of art, right? This person has chosen a summer theme and ran with it which we feel will work out beautifully for others who want to pull this off.

Lemon-Lime

Summer Nails
Instagram

A lemon-lime color theme along with a sherbert cloud of both really works well. You can go with any two colors and do a cool blending effect on your nails to make this look all your own!

Weightless Impression

Summer Nails
Instagram

These colored nails look as if they’ve been airbrushed on. Just a touch of color on those nails can really make a haunting impression. These are a blast!

The person who shared this image explained that they were inspired by “smoke.” We love their take on smoke with each nail showcasing it in a different color. What a witchy, wonderful triumph!

Butterfly Kisses

Summer Nails

If the color is not enough for you, take it one step further by employing a recurring shape like the butterfly on these nails. They make for the perfect little detail that makes these nails look extra special.

Some Sparkle Never Hurts

Summer Nails
Instagram

If colored nails aren’t giving you that spark that you’re after, you better sparkle, girl! These different colored sparkle polishes look so fantastic next to one another.

Make a Scene

Summer Nails
Instagram

If you can really paint, you can showcase your skills with a calm beach scene as you’ll find on these nails. Cute silhouettes of palm trees or birds, and even clouds would like great done in a similar style.

Pink & Then Some

Summer Nails
Instagram

The hot pink polish is carried through on every nail but a different, contrasting color has been added to each nail for even more visual interest. You could do this with only pastel polishes and also be very happy with it as well.

Get Groovy

Summer Nails
Instagram

Are you feeling the flower power this summer? Be a little flower child and go full hippy with some groovy colored nails like these. We find pastels again but they look so sweet and feminine in this application that you can’t even be mad about it.

Let’s Play

Summer Nails
Instagram

How do you feel about these checkerboard nails? We like how playful they are but we admit the execution is a little lacking. You could do something similar and carry that pattern over to all of your fingers for a very playful look.

Feeling Floral

Summer Nails
Instagram

Another great way to plan your colored nail theme is to pick a focal nail and then paint the others to help make it truly shine. We find the same orange, pink, and purple from the floral nail repeated on other nails for a very put-together and classy look.

Not Mod About It

Summer Nails
Instagram

We know we’re supposed to be celebrating the colors of summer but we just can’t get over these moody colored nails done in neutral tones. If you’re looking for something different that’s a touch scaled back, you should try something similar!

Or Go Neon

Summer Nails
Instagram

Okay, we’re back on track with these neon orange nails that look like those orange tic tacs that you’re now craving. Contrast all of that neon orange with a soft abstract rainbow of color and you’ve got yourself some spectacular claws!

Subtle Is Chill

Is it still 90 degrees outside where you live? You’re not alone! If you’re itching for fall but the weather is not cooperating, choose a muted color scheme for your floral nails for a sophisticated look that doesn’t look like you’re wishing warm days away.

Pumpkin Shimmer

A Preview of Fall

50 Fall Nails

Here’s an example of fall nails that look like they’re in transition. This and similar designs make for the perfect vibe for late summer and early fall. We find both muted and bright colors here but all are associated with autumn.

Get Excited with Fall Patterns

Plaid and animal prints are a blast all year long but they’re especially fun to play with in autumn as it is the flannel season. Mess around with different patterns and colors for your plaids to achieve a look that feels appropriate for you!

50 Fall Nails

The Jewels

50 Fall Nails

Again, if you want to go for a muted color you absolutely should. But, don’t let that color keep you down for your fall nails. Jazz things up with some crystals and really shine your way through the chilly days.

Crimson & Gold

50 Fall Nails
Instagram

Red and gold look so regal together. We find them paired on these fall nails that look like they’re covered in antiqued gold leaf. Keep it warm and you won’t regret it this fall!

Rock the Earth Tones

You can do almost anything with your fall nails but if you stick to a color pallette that is heavy with earth tones, it will serve you well. We find brown, orange, clay, blue, and green here but none stand out too much.

Brown Cow

Animal prints are always an option and going with a brown cow instead of a black one will give you a bit more of an autumnal cowgirl vibe. We love the way the pattern has been applied to the tips.

Hot & Matte

50 Fall Nails

If a monochromatic look without shimmer feels appropriate to you this autumn, consider going matte. You can choose a really vibrant orange as this person has done or look for darker colors as well.

More Fall Florals

50 Fall Nails
Instagram

Again, the earthy tones are the ones you want the most of for fall. We find a deep forest green, a burnt orange, and a muted floral pattern all working in concert beautifully here.

Inspired by Turquoise

50 Fall Nails
Instagram

Flowers are not the only natural element to draw inspiration from. Consider turning to earth materials like gems, crystals, and stones to get a one-of-a-kind look like these fall nails inspired by turquoise.

Black, White & Nude

50 Fall Nails
Instagram

Black and white is the most classic color combination but throw in a little nude in the mix and you’ve got fall nails that look sophisticated and understated. We imagine this would also look smart with a ruddy orange or a forest green.

Falling Leaves

50 Fall Nails
Instagram

You can get right to the point! With these fall nails, we find maple leaves falling in those wonderful browns, oranges, and reds we all love. However, we find those same colors mimicked in a shimmering nail that is borderline genius.

Still, Do You

50 Fall Nails
Instagram

We find rather organic-looking spots in dark orange on top of a peach one with these nail tips. The gold bands beneath really do aid in warming things up even further for these fall nails.

Waves of Nude

Get into the waves! These nails are similar to the fall nails we compared to chocolate milk a little earlier on this list. Mix in a shimmering neutral for added visual interest and sparkle!

These nails really reminded us of the Halloween decorations in elementary school. We find brightly colored nails with fall themes like plaid and a cute little pumpkin for good measure. How sweet!

Get Glam

50 Fall Nails
Instagram

Feel free to glam it up but stay away from neons for a more subdued look with your fall nails. This lovely greenish-blue really works well as it is dark enough to bring drama without looking too lively for autumn.

Dots Still Got It

50 Fall Nails
Instagram

If you really just want some polka dots, you better give yourself some polka dots. Orange and fuchsia look excellent together on these little claws. We imagine they would look rather cute poking out of a chunky sweater.

Glitter & Be Gold

50 Fall Nails
Instagram

Deep orange and gold are just thrilling for fall nails. These very sharp nails look just like stilettos! Nails like this will look so luxurious this season.

A Study In Contrasts

50 Fall Nails
Instagram

We find a sparkling deep green next to a more matte one. You can get a similar light VS dark look that feels thematically appropriate for fall by doing something similar with any other moody color.

Unconventional Combinations

50 Fall Nails
Instagram

The person who shared this image remarked that the time of year when summer transitions to fall is the perfect excuse to mess around with unconventional color combinations. We’d say they achieved that but it still works! Mess around until you find some things that look great together!

Feeling Groovy

50 Fall Nails
Instagram

These slightly muted swirls of color still feel vibrant but without the overt happiness of more summery tones. If want to get a little groovy this fall, choose colors like these.

Mix-n-Match

50 Fall Nails
Instagram

Animal print and shimmer? Why not! As we mentioned, fall is a great time to experiment with different patterns and styles as long as they look fashionable together.

Neutral Animal Prints

50 Fall Nails
Instagram

We can’t get enough animal print when it comes to fall nails. We got zebra on these tips done in some lovely neutrals. You could do the same with just about anything else and be happy with the result.

Dark, Dark Chocolate

No, these nails are not black. Instead, they are deep chocolate brown. The rich color is made even more apparent by plenty of gold that contrasts beautifully.

Femme Fall

Instagram

You might not be ready to part ways with your hot pinks and neons. Work them into your fall designs like this and they definitely won’t look out of place.

Retro Inspiration

50 Fall Nails

These nails remind us of vintage china. In the 70s and 80s browns, oranges, and yellows dominated graphic design. We find them here sweetly paired with some pretty flowers.

Fall Is for Flirts

50 Fall Nails
Instagram

How whimsical and fun are these winking eye nails? While they do not scream “fall nails!!!!” they definitely look inventive and not too colorful for fall. Do you think this would be cute in a black, orange, and white color scheme for Halloween?

Power of the Sunflower

50 Fall Nails
Instagram

Sunflowers really are some of the most appealing blossoms on the planet. Instead of going full yellow, this person has chosen to mute the yellows and oranges and lay them on top of maroon which just looks like magic.

Plaid All Season

50 Fall Nails
Instagram

If you’re already itching to start painting those Halloween nails, start in a more subtle fashion like this. We find orange, black, and cream here but the nails aren’t immediately Halloween-y. Plaid for the win!

Mix It Up with Pastels

50 Fall Nails
Instagram

If you’re looking for other muted colors to try aside from nudes and neutrals, consider pastels. Baby blue, blush and many more will give you a more subdued look for autumn.

Fall In Love

50 Fall Nails
Instagram

Okay, so these fall nails would actually work year-round but we loved how well-done they were we had to share them with you. A blush pink topped with white hearts is just so sweet!
