The Best Nail Trends We're Loving For Summer 2022

As soon as we saw Blake Lively’s pastel half-moon mani from nail artist Elle, we knew we’d be copying it all season long.

You know and love Euphoria-inspired makeup, but now the nails are having their much-deserved moment.

The color is the toast of the sartorial town (see: Rihanna’s pregnancy reveal, the entire Valentino runway), so it’s only natural it extends to our nails, too.

For wearing on your weekend farmers’ market excursions and beyond.

Green isn’t going anywhere, especially this light, frothy shade.

The smiley face trend is staying put as we finally get to show off the smiles on our maskless faces.

A layer of uneven shimmery topcoat adds a touch of shine in the sun.

At this point, clear and jelly nails have become a summer staple. Add the nail art of your choosing, or go bare.

Wear one powdery pastel, or a range à la nail artist Julie Kandalec.

Want a break from the bold color? You can never go wrong with simple, chic neutrals.

The latest update to the French manicure? A thin swipe of rose gold.

Swoops and swirls in bold, bright shades feel undeniably summer-y.

Neons always come back around, and this summer’s no exception. Orange and pink are a fun trade-off from fluorescent yellow.

You can go 3-D like Julia Fox (or not), but the metallic look is decidedly hot right now.

Summer is a time to relax, and we feel more chill just looking at this mani.

What is summer without florals? For a fun play on proportions, we’re obsessed with these teeny white blooms.

A delicate nail art idea, especially for summer brides.

Like a '70s daydream, in the best way.

Perfectly whimsical, and beyond easy to DIY.
