We're Calling It: These Are the Hottest Nail Trends for Summer

All of the nail artists we spoke to said French manicures are big for summer. "French manicures have made their way to the forefront in a big way," says Gina Edwards,

celebrity nail stylist and brand ambassador for Kiss. "Multicolor tips, textures, and traditional white tips are hailed classics because of their effortless twist to the negative-space nail trend. Kiss Classy Nails fit into this category perfectly, as they're French nails with a modern flair and trendy designs."

While you can opt for the traditional white tip, you can also go for something more modern with bright shades, which Brittney Boyce, celebrity nail artist and founder of Nails of LA, predicts will be popular. "This summer, the French mani features an oval or almond shape most of the time and looks really natural," she says. "The version that features outlines with different shades is really popular. For summer, use bright colors like those from Orly's Electric Escape—think neon orange, bold royal purple, and bright greens. I did a version of this on Shay Mitchell that she shared on her IG stories recently, and people love it."
