Daisy Nails

We may be fully in summer now, but spring florals are still drawing me in and this dainty daisy nail art design put the biggest smile on my face; it’s so simple and feminine but just bright enough to catch someone’s eye.” — Annie Blay, associate beauty news editor, TZR

Ombré Outline French

“If you’re looking for a hit list of the summer’s hottest nail trends, just take a peek at this design: gradient ombré, negative space, French manicure, blue nails. All of the season’s most swoon-worthy nail looks in one very cute manicure package.” — Hannah Baxter, deputy beauty editor, TZR

Green Reverse French

“Although I’ve been blessed with naturally long and strong nails, lately I’m very into short and sweet nail designs. The reverse French nail trend is everywhere at the moment and for good reason — it’s a fresh new take on the colorful tip look — and I am living for this green and gem-embellished iteration.” — H.B.

Summer Strawberry Nails

“Lately, I’ve been taking advantage of my at-home nail collection and polishing my fingers on my own. And although I have the nail tools and stickers to execute cool designs, there is something so chic about one color all over. I’m living for this strawberry ice cream color and the clean cuticles.” — N.M.

Dainty 3D Nails

“I don't typically go for 3D nail art but this upgrade on a neutral manicure makes me happy. I always love OPI's light pink 'bubble bath' color as a base, but the dainty blue gems centered along the cuticle give it an instant summer update.” — Taylor Jean Stephan, beauty news writer, TZR

Hand-Painted Floral Nails

Floral nails have been having a moment, but these black hand painted roses are next-level chic. They're so artistic and intricate. Plus, the simplified color scheme is a nice change from all the bright colors we’ve been seeing as of late.” — T.J.S.

Leaf Nails

“Floral nails get all the love, but this set designed to look like different plants, leaves, and general greenery is so detailed and captivating without overt brightness or drama. Even the raised texture is subtle — it’s unbeleafable (sorry lol)” —Amanda Ross, beauty news writer, TZR

Amethyst Crystal Nails

“Jade nails, rose quartz nails — I love them all, but the all-time best crystal-themed manicure might be this swirly purple amethyst edition. The marbled pattern transforms into the look of a cut geode thanks to those glittery purple boundaries tracing the scalloped edges.” —A.R.

Mix & Match Nails

“This mix-and-match mani allows you to skip the agony of selecting a nail design by incorporating a variety of different styles. Plus, the bright neon colors give off the most glorious summer vibes.” —Catherine Santino, beauty news writer, TZR

Negative Space Half Moon Nails

“I love the pop of cherry red and negative space half moon design — just the perfect amount of art, which I’ll never get tired of, and it goes with anything in my wardrobe. It’s one I’ll request time and time again with different colors depending on my mood.” — Kathy Lee, editor-in-chief, TZR
