We've got the scoop on the hottest Summer 2013 nail trends. The below nail polishes and designs will help you steal the spotlight at all the beach parties and poolside barbeques!
1. Coral Nail Polish: Longing to go snorkeling and coral reef diving this summer? Give your nails their own tropical mini getaway with fabulous and fun coral nail polish. Polishes in coral hues will be very popular this summer, so choose one for everyday wear.
2. Glistening Ocean Manicure: One new nail design that
is showing up on hands everywhere is a teal blue manicure featuring glittery
gold or silver tips. The glamorous teal hue evokes images of shimmering oceanic
waves on summer beach days, and the gold or silver sparkles make the manicure
perfect for a classy affair.
3. Neon Geometrics: Neon polishes will be huge
this summer, and the best way to rock the trend is by choosing a dark mani with
geometric crisscrossing neon lines. To do this funky nail design, paint your
nails with a coat of neon orange, neon yellow, neon pink, or neon green and let
dry. Then take thin pieces of tape and place them on the first nail in a
geometric pattern. Paint over the nail and tape strips with two coats of dark
blue, black, or dark gray, then take the tape off while the polish is still
wet. Let dry then add a clear topcoat. Do this process for the rest of the
nails and voilà! You have an exciting neon geometric mani that is ready to turn
heads at your summer get-togethers!
4. Dark Green: Polishes in olive,
emerald green, and dark green are Summer 2013’s breakout trend. These hues
celebrate the pretty palm tree fronds you see on your excursions to the beach,
as well as the dark green mint leaves in your favorite summer mojito!
5. Mermaid Tale
Nails: This summer, glittery polishes that give your nails a shimmery
“scaly” effect will be very popular. To give your nails that “mermaid’s tale”
look, choose a polish like one from Deborah Lipman’s “The
Mermaids” collection.
6. Lime Yellow, White, And
Electric Purple Polishes: Like coral nail polish, polishes in pure white, lime yellow, and
vibrant purple will be major breakout hues this summer. These funky and unique
polish choices are versatile; they can be worn on a casual day at the beach or
paired with your fave black cocktail dress for a summer night out on the town!
7. Bold Textured Nails: “Bloody” vampire-esque tips
were huge in Spring 2013, and new brave manicures will also be a major Summer
2013 trend. Amazing new “textured” nail designs are popular this summer season,
with manicurists employing fabulous new finishes like leather, crocodile, and
speckled bird’s eggs. Nail polish companies are also creating fascinating and
unusual effects in a bottle, with the latest one being polish that imparts a
concrete-like finish on your nails. Another trick to keep your nails
distinctive and bold is to use dark colors, red and burgundy, or metallics.
Combine all of theses colors in one manicure for a standout design that’ll
bring you many compliments.
8. Multi-Colored Polka Dots: On hot summer days, who
doesn’t love yummy ice cream or frozen yogurt coated with colorful candy
sprinkles? Celebrate this tasty summer tradition with a cute and stylish
multi-colored polka-dot manicure! Paint your nails a vanilla white and let dry,
then, using a toothpick, paint little “sprinkle” dots all over each nail using
different colored polishes. Let dry then add a clear topcoat to complete the
look.
9. Unique Nail
Decals, Stickers, and Kits: Nail decals have been around for a while; however, it’s not just about adding
a simple sticker in your mani anymore. Now, the more elements you add to your
nails, the better. Kits now have leather, paper, colored stones, studs,
glitter, feathers, and small pearls. Remember, if you’re doing a lot with your
nails, choose a minimalist look for your attire.
10. New Nail
Shapes: Choose a fresh new nail shape this summer to give your nails
the illusion of length. Unique nail styles like almond and oval will set you
apart from the crowd and help you steal the spotlight everywhere you go this
summer.
New colors, finishes, and nail shapes are making
their way onto the hands of trendy ladies everywhere this Summer 2013 season.
Why not switch it up and try a new look this summer?
Stay fab!
