Palm trees.
We love the tropical feel of this mani, perfectly adorned with palm trees, created by nail tech Ceca. Someone take us to the beach, please!
Neon design.
The neon pink nails are so very summer, but the incredible tip designs of those two nails make this manicure by Iris at Rainbow Nails top-notch.
French ombré.
Never underestimate the power of a clear nail. And when it's a French mani with an ombré effect like this one by nail technician Emma Sanders, it has that sheer feeling perfect for summer.
Summer party nails.
For those hot summer nights, when nothing but a little black dress will do, these nails designed by Ivan Popovic will take your look to the next level.

Bumble bees.
Pure art by nail artist Chrissy August. We can barely handle how incredible these bee nails are … totally buzzworthy.
Watermelon nails.
Because that red is already a classic nail color, adding a bit of green to create a watermelon mani — like nail artist Erzsébet Savanyó did — is quite a treat.
Beach nails.
We love the technicolor palm tress on white nails paired with the hottest pink in this look created by Jordyn at Salonika.
Lemonade and sundaes.
Lemonade is the drink of the summer (thanks, Beyonce!) and who doesn't love a sundae with cherries on top? This manicure by Marina Sudnik delivers.

Flower burst.
Neon is always a welcome color for summer, but that one white nail with the neon flower burst makes this manicure extra exciting.
Festival nails.
These gorgeous nails created at Envi Nails & Beauty have been called festival nails, which is so on point. That ombré feel with the arrow design in that shimmer is perfection.
Sunflowers.
Don't let the black polish fool you, these nails are all about summertime. Created by nail tech Joni Hanson, this sunflower design mani mixes the perfect colors for those not feeling the pastels.
Hello, sailor.
With a whole new take on nautical, this striped and anchor manicure by Petite Prune in this gorgeous apricot, white, and silver is super fresh.
