Summer provides the perfect excuse to switch up your nails. In a broad sense, this generally means opting for sunnier colours, playful motifs, or going shorter in anticipation of all the outdoor activities you'll soon embark on. It doesn't have to be complicated. Some might find their approach to beauty becomes less regimented and increasingly laissez-faire in comparison to the winter months. Who wants to sit in a chair for two hours when they could be swimming, dancing, reading a book? For them, a slick of top coat and some decals will suffice.
But there are always those who enjoy the ritual of it all – a moment of reprieve in the chaos of silly season. While others feed off the opportunity to be creative; selecting shades, embellishments, nail shapes to their heart's desire. In which case, a trip to the salon is the only option.
Whether you make regular appointments or like to DIY your own nail art, below we're bringing you a curated list of inspiration for your next manicure. Show this to your manicurist during your next time in the chair or swap inspiration with your friends as you splay out on a picnic blanket, making-over each other's digits. Summer is nearly here, and how you choose to celebrate that fact is entirely up to you.
