50+ Bright Nails Perfect For A Summer Mani!

Are you looking for some cute bright nails to try out this summer?  If so, you’ve come to the right post!

Summer is the perfect time to try out fun nail art!  That includes swirls, abstract designs, and of course, bright colors!  Vibrant, unique colors are also really trendy right now with Y2k coming back in style.

I love getting an early start with summer nail designs.  With that said, you don’t have to fully commit to something wild to start.  You can always go with something more casual like french tips!

Whether I’m going to a salon or doing them myself, it’s so fun to get inspiration!  I wanted to put together a collection of my favorite designs, so you can figure out what style you want to try!  Below you will find everything from french tips to intricate designs!

A lot of these looks can easily be recreated at home!  If you’re wanting to try out a matte look, I recommend getting this matte nail polish:

To be able to hand draw on flowers, we recommend these nail art brushes.  They are incredibly fine, and help draw out really intricate details:
