The Best Summer 2024 Nail Color Trends

The latest red trend to hit nails this summer is: Cajun Shrimp. Your nails will be hot and spicy for the beach, pool, wherever. Plus, this lacquer keeps it shiny for up to 7 days of wear.

The butter yellow trend is everywhere this summer, from clothes to decor, and now nails. This sunny color is formulated with shea butter and green botanicals to strengthen your nails, and easily applies for a strong, opaque finish.

Reminiscent of the Greek island of Santorini, this deep blue color is one you'll want on your fingers and toes throughout the season. I've been seeing it all over NYC, and this particular polish is toxin-free.

The Coquette trend is still going strong with this trendy pink color polish. It's pretty, feminine, and reviewers report that it looks good with just one coat.

Toxin-free and chip-resistant, this polish will leave your nails feeling strong and shiny. Plus, the bright green color makes a bold statement at the beach, the pool, on a road trip, or just soaking up some staycation vibes.

When you apply this nail polish, the warm orange color (aka Bearer of Rad News) immediately transports you to a warm sunset, drinking from a coconut, and feeling that cool, ocean breeze. You just need to apply two coats, the quick-drying formula works in a minute, and there's no need for a base or top coat.

If you find yourself saying, "That's that me, espresso" lately, then you need to espresso your inner self with this chocolaty brown hue. It's a more subtle shade that will go with every outfit, and the brand promises it'll give you 7 days of wear.

Get a creamy gray with purple undertones for your next summer soiree. Reviewers report that the hue can even look different depending on the lighting. Best of all, the polish is quick-drying, long-lasting, and easy to remove when you've moved on to the next trend.

An Amazon reviewer, who is also a cosmetologist, said of this snowy white nail polish, "[I've] tried a million and one white polishes, this is by far the best one." And since it's after Memorial Day, this is the color to rock all summer long.

Looking for a mermaidcore aesthetic? Then you need to add this polish to your cart. It's shiny, shimmery, and offers chip-resistant durability. And when you put it on, it'll look just like glittery mermaid scales.

Pull off that influencer look, minus the price tag, with this under-the-radar, budget-friendly fashion brand.
