Choose several nail polishes from the same range but with different finishes to create an effect as interesting as this one. If you want you can add an application of rhinestones when you have more skill.

Violet tones favor lighter skin. Choose matte finishes for some of your nails and add a layer of glitter to give them an iridescent effect.

A metallic touch

Nude manicures take on a new dimension thanks to the stickers specially designed to decorate the nails. Simple lines in golden tones are very elegant and are very easy to put on.

Blue Night

The galaxy effect is more fashionable than ever, but if you don't want to complicate your life by mixing different shades of nail polish, you can resort to glitter lacquers in midnight blue like these.

From Katty Lya.

Bleu cobalt

A couple of coats of a lacquer like this, which changes tone with the light and already incorporates iridescent sparkles, is ideal to recreate the effect of a starry night on your nails.

Tattoos on nails

Nail tattoos

Another elegant solution that will not take you any time is to 'tattoo' your nude manicure with some stickers. You can put them only on a couple of fingers so as not to recharge the final effect.

Tattoo stickers

There are countless motifs you can choose from to 'tattoo' your nails, from watercolor birds to simple black and white flowers, words, fruits and candies.

Yellow, white and glitter

We love glitter polishes but painting all your nails like this can be a bit excessive when it's not New Year's Eve. That is why we prefer to reserve it for a couple of nails and paint the rest in more casual tones such as yellow or white.

From Beautybar Odessa.

Sparkle!

The trick to correctly painting your nails with glitter is to first apply several layers of polish on a makeup sponge and then dab it on the nail. You will ensure that not a single hole remains unpainted.

Magenta tone

If you are a devotee of the color red but want a summer alternative, go for magenta tones. It is not that the reds are not carried, but this more pink version is more flattering with the tan.

From Green Room Nails.

Catch me Fuchsia

Apply a layer of top coat on top to achieve a brighter effect and that the polish will last longer intact on your nails.

Coral

But if there is a tone that triumphs in summer, that is coral. Halfway between orange and pink, this shade favors from the palest to the most tanned hands.

From Gloss tlt.

Coral crush

In this case we recommend that you apply only one layer of color on the base. These types of tones are best appreciated with a small amount of paint, otherwise they become too opaque and lose some of their charm.

Dior Care & Dare Nail Lacquer, € 26.95

Print

Don't worry, you don't have to be like Michelangelo to get this type of manicure. All you have to do is use some nail stickers with the pattern you like the most and apply them only to the ring finger. Paint the rest in a shade that matches the pattern.

From Ava Nails Master.

Nail patch

In stores you have packs for all nails. They are placed like a sticker to which the excess is then trimmed with mini-scissors and a file. They are very easy to use and do not peel as easily as enamel.

Painting your nails becomes a gesture of utmost importance in summer and we not only pay more attention to the toenails because they are in the air, we also want to decorate our hands much more . If you are looking for ideas about the colors and finishes that are most popular this summer, pay attention. We have dived into the depths of Instagram and we have recorded the trends that salons around the world follow . Ah! And best of all, these trends will continue to be worn in the fall as well, so if you take note now, you will be just as great next season.

How do I paint my nails on vacation?

Plain colors. The easiest thing is always to use a single tone and paint all our nails with it. In that case, we recommend three colors that are successful in summer: bubblegum pink, coral and magenta. All three look great on tanned hands and have the advantage that if you are not one of those who go brown, they also flatter a lot. Always apply first a coat of transparent nail polish to protect the nail and then one or two coats of the color, allowing them to dry well between the two. To finish, add a top coat, so the color will last you intact for longer.
Purpurina . Glitter enamels are all the rage in the networks and although you think it is difficult to apply them, in the gallery we will tell you how to do it. First you have to put several layers on a makeup sponge and then apply it on the nail. This way, not a single space will remain uncovered. If you want, you can reserve this finish for one or two nails and paint the rest in more summery tones like white or pastel yellow.
Stickers . There are many types and their main function is to make our lives easier to achieve those nail art effects that are so popular . There are those that emulate tattoos, with rhinestones, with wefts and others designed to cover the entire nail.
