8 Spring/Summer 2019 Nail Trends To Be Wearing Now

From the imperfect manicure to bold new shades, how to nail your mani-pedi this season

June 20, 2019

From bold new shades to how to get an on-trend ‘imperfect manicure’, these are the mani-pedi shapes and designs Bazaar recommends to see you through summer.

8 Spring/Summer 2019 Nail Trends To Be Wearing Now
New neutrals

Good news for anyone tired of searching for their perfect nude shade, the muted tones of peach, coral and caramel are the new neutrals gaining favour on the catwalk – namely at Temperley, Prabal Gurung and Gucci. And, they’re pretty on all skin tones.

Next time your manicurist asks what shape you want your nails, opt for rounded. The natural style that was seen at multiple shows including Zimmerman, Mansur Gavriel and Roksanda, makes nail look super polished and proves that clean, well-groomed nails will never go out of style.

The imperfect manicure

The imperfect manicure – where nails were chipped or looked untidy – bought a spirit of rebellion to Preen, Mary Katrantzou and Nicholas Kirkwood. It felt like a subtle nod to women too busy to get their nails done regularly and bought back memories of youthful (if not successful) experimentation. This time it was achieved by dabbing on polish to encourage gaps, deliberately smudging your nails while wet or over-applying a top coat.

The bare cuticles at Oscar de la Renta gave the impression that the models’ manicures had grown out.

Perplex Tips

A continuation of the imperfect manicure trend, models at Vivienne Westwood and Mary Katrantzou were given manicures that included bare perplex tips, making them appear half-finished. That wasn’t to say the style can’t be pretty though, as at Mary Katrantzou the transparent ‘bulb’ of top coat revealed a crystal detail underneath.

Transparent nails felt out-of-this-world for Vivienne Westwood’s show.

Normally, you see a uniformed display of manicures on the catwalk, but this season there was an array of colours even within the same show as designers sought to emphasise a spirit of individuality. At Roland Mouret the models actually chose their favourite colour on the day.

Demonstrating that there are (at least) two sides of every woman, Ryan Lo gave the models at his show either high-shine red nails or muted white manicures.

For anyone wanting to make a bold statement with their nails, look to fun but sleek two-toned manicures. Seen at Sadie Williams, Gareth Pugh and Jeremy Scott, the style makes a statement and lets you experiment with bright colours, though, for nail beginners, we’d recommend heading to a nail bar to achieve it.

The orange and black nails for the Gareth Pugh show matched the models’ statement lipstick.

Bubblegum pink and white nails were a more feminine take on the two-tone trend at Jeremy Scott.

From metallics to glitter, high-shine nails provide a look-at-me-now option for your nails that is pretty rather than garish, making them perfect for the summer. The trend was seen at Julien Macdonald, Armani and Anna Sui and the secret is to ensure you apply the polish very smoothly, to ensure it doesn’t start looking childish.

Black nails have always been associated with rebellion – you probably know someone, if not yourself, who painted their nails a jet black shade as an act of dress code defiance in their teenage years. For the Spring / Summer 2019 season though, dark nails have grown-up with a high-gloss finish that makes them look chic rather than tantrum-inducing.
