As a child, the highlight of summer was enjoying a brightly colored popsicle as it quickly melted, leaving a sticky residue all around. Ideally, I would be near some water, and with no school, long days, and warm weather, I didn’t mind being covered in popsicle juice. Now, my popsicles have been replaced by summer drinks like spritzers and frozen margaritas, but that doesn’t mean I can’t tap into that summer nostalgia. Experts indicate that popsicle nails are the trendy, low-maintenance nail style everyone will embrace this summer.
What are popsicle nails?
Popsicle nails mimic the vibrant, glossy appearance of our beloved summer treat—ideal for those who desire fun, expressive nails without a lot of upkeep. “Jelly nails and shiny, translucent shades will lead this summer, featuring popsicle-inspired pinks, oranges, and blues,” said celebrity manicurist and founder of Labo Beauté Salon, Lily Nguyen. “It’s all about feeling fresh and playful without feeling heavy.” Imagine: Glossy, striking colors that capture the essence of summer warmth.

This manicure embraces the semi-sheer popsicle effect—great if you prefer just a touch of color. It’s akin to the sugar-free popsicle your mom insisted you have because it lacked Red Dye 40 (yet still tasted amazing).
2. Bright orange popsicle nails

If you enjoy bold nails, these bright orange nails are the perfect summer accessory to flaunt all season.
3. Turquoise popsicle nails
