8 July Summer Nail Designs and Colors
Imagining your next summer manicure? This July, nine colors shine.
Professional nail artists predict red, white, blue, sorbet, and butter yellow. All of these tones look well alone and with other summer nail colors.
Cherry red nails are another summer staple. Hang Nguyen of Nailing Hollywood feels July requires red nails. “It’s bold, vibrant, timeless, and adds excitement to any look.” She advises wearing lighter reds this year and keeping deeper ones for fall and winter.
Nail artist Charlotte Knight, inventor of Ciaté and Lottie London, recommends sorbet nails for a hint of rosiness without going full red. Jelly finishes rule this summer, and “flushed pinks are the new nude,” she says.
Orange tones are now connected with radiancy and fashion forwardness thanks to Pantone's Peach Fuzz at the start of the year. Essie's Frilly Lilies is my go-to orange.”
Butter yellow nails started a nail art craze in early spring that continues into summer. There are other July appetizing yellows. Try a lemon version. Nguyen says yellow nails “scream summer.” Bright and lively, they give a wonderful splash of color to any ensemble.
Choose vivid kelly green color for an unusual summer nail look. “Kelly Green is such a fresh and lively color for July,” Nguyen says. I think of summer's thick greenery. This color helps your nails pop out and is excellent for garden parties or a day outside.
An electric blue looks gorgeous on the nail and is a perfect holiday nail color for anyone heading to a party. “If this feels too much, try this color on your tips before doing the full nail.
Though Barbie debuted last July, bubblegum pink is still a summer 2024 favorite. Bubbly pink nails add joy and playfulness to your look, says Nguyen. “It's a great pop of color for all the summer festivities.”
Metallic manicures add glamour. Knight: “The glaze finish has morphed into these metallic shades, adding a touch of luxury and modern elegance to any look,” citing silver and gold.
