      ### 8 Biggest Summer Nail Trends of 2025

      1. **Flower Power**

       This trend might be predictable, but there are numerous fun and contemporary ways to showcase floral nail art during the sunny days. "Summer and florals complement each other, and this year, we anticipate a rise in delicate, hand-painted flowers on accent nails," shares Shenique Dawkins, brand ambassador for The GelBottle Inc. Micro floral nail art is definitely the way to go for 2025. This trend features small, intricate florals that can adorn each nail or just one or two accent nails. The best part is that it's entirely customizable; you can choose vibrant colors or keep it minimalistic as you prefer.

      2. **Got Milk?**

       Milky nails have been popular for some time now, and creamy white shades aren't going away anytime soon. "Milky nails are a year-round favorite and will remain in style this summer," says Dawkins. "My clients adore the soft, sheer white for its incredible, healthy glow. It offers a pristine, polished finish that pairs well with everything." If you're looking for a manicure that will last throughout the season, this is a solid choice. Top manicurist Iram Shelton suggests ways to elevate milky nails this summer: "Look for milky styles layered with delicate chrome accents, small florals, or fine-line designs," she notes. "It embodies the 'clean-girl aesthetic' with added personality."

      3. **Pistachio Latte**

       Is it just me, or is pistachio the flavor of the moment? It's everywhere, from chocolate bars to ice cream and iced coffees. Hence, I predict a surge in pistachio green nails this season, and experts seem to concur. "We're beginning to see many soft, muted greens," notes Dawkins. "Pistachio shades provide a subtle color pop and work beautifully as a solid color or an accent in nail art." To nail this trend, choose a smooth, creamy, opaque pistachio shade for a sleek, stylish look.

      4. **Cherry Pie**

       If green doesn’t appeal to you, why not consider cherry red nails? "No matter your undertone—cool, warm, or neutral—this shade flatters nearly everyone," remarks top manicurist Julia Diogo. "We're seeing plenty of reds in accessories and shoes this summer, so adding red nails is a lovely touch." This cherry-red trend is slightly deeper than a typical red, lending a more sophisticated feel to your summer manicure. A high-shine top coat, like my favorite from OPI, is essential for that glossy, luxurious finish.
