This summer nail trend is all about making a statement with a hint of colour. Level up your everyday manicures with these colourful nail ideas. We’ve even put together the best nail polish and tools to try this at home (ASAP).
Neon Swirls
Swirly nail art is a mainstay every Summer, probably because it’s foolproof, vibrant and fun. Why not try combining soft neon shades with creamy beige nudes to add a slightly more sophisticated appeal.
