During the summer, your outfits probably tend to get a bit simpler; rather than layering shirts, pants, jackets, scarves, and other cold weather clothing items, you likely find yourself wearing basic shorts and tank top outfits, or throwing on swimsuits and sundresses. You might even skip the jewelry, makeup, or accessories that you generally add to your looks.

The simplicity of dressing for warm weather is one of the fun parts of summer most people don’t experience all year. However, if you want to keep your sense of style even when you’re paring down your outfits, you should consider ways to keep looking and feeling trendy. The best compliment to a summer outfit is a chic manicure or pedicure. Having nice nails for all your summer plans ensures you always have an extra pop of color or pattern in your outfit. 

Florals are one perfect look for summer because they capture the bright, whimsical, cheerful attitude of summer. You might be asking how you can ensure your nails stay nice all season without having to be a regular at the salon instead of the beach; the answer is to upkeep semi cured gel nails . Using only a sheet of semi cured gel stick-ons and a UV lamp, you can have lasting manicures that take your style game to a whole new level!

For people who live in cold weather locations, summer is the only time they can show off their toes, which means it’s the ideal time for a pedicure! Even if you have the luxury of going barefoot all year round, you want to decorate your toes in the summertime. This pedicure set is bright and vibrant. Plus, these teeny tulips are cute as can be.

This manicure set’s florals are an homage to the lovely Korean camellia. The set includes a mix of plaid, stripes, florals, and red and nude nail stick-ons, which you can mix and match however you like. The tiny blossoms are the focal point of this combination, and will draw attention. 

The Petal Rain manicure doesn’t look like your classic floral pattern, but the design is reminiscent of soft, delicate petals falling from a tree.

The gentle, pale pink shades making up the Tinted manicure set are subtle enough to compliment your daily outfits, but also lovely enough to bring notice to your nails.

This set appears to have movement to it that is reminiscent of watercolors. 

The Fleur manicure set is not your conventional floral nail design. The flower sketch art makes this look fun, flirty, laid-back, and perfect for the lazy days of summer. It brings to mind your favorite childhood artwork, when you’d paint the flowers around you and just enjoy the act of creating something. You can get your whimsy back by wearing this funky floral nail design. 

The Buddy manicure is the classic, simple but stylish nail look you need to compliment your favorite summer outfits. The black and white color palette ensures it will work with every outfit. And because the base nail color is in a range or nude and white shades, this set is simple and versatile. The little flowers add a pop of fun, too.

Here is a floral nail look that’s out of the box. When you think of floral designs, you may think of tulips, but this twist on a favorite flower is fresh and vibrant. The heart-shaped tips look just like blooming tulips. If you love bright and bold red nails, you should try this twist on the famous red manicure.

Buttery yellow nails are perfect for summertime because the soft yellow shade brings to mind the sunshine filling the long summer days.

If you’re someone who loves spending time outdoors and cheery pastel colors, this manicure is perfect for you. 

Summer is a time when your outfits can become simpler as you dress for the heat, but if you want to maintain your style and look put-together all season, the trick is to maintain manicured nails.
