Nail art for summer vacation
Summer is here, and it’s time to get your nails in shape. We’ve rounded up our favorite nail art ideas for beach vacations—if you’re packing up and heading out to the sand this summer, don’t forget these tips!
Don’t forget to bring some nail polish remover! You’ll want to make sure you have a few extra bottles on hand to keep your nails looking good even after a long day at the beach.
Try using stickers instead of stencils for easy designs. You can find stickers in any craft store that are made especially for your nails, or even just use scrap paper from home before you leave to make sure everything fits perfectly!
Use sticker glue instead of regular glue so your nails won’t get too slippery while you’re swimming in the ocean or laying out by the pool.
Nail art for summer vacation
Summer Sunset
These simple nails remind me of a summer sunset on the beach. If you want your nails to match a sunrise, I would use colors like blue and orange.
Mermaid Nails
This is actually my first time seeing mermaid tail nails, and I’m in love with them. The great thing about this design is that it would look great with your natural nails. If you want to DIY your nails, I recommend these mermaid nail wraps.
Purple and Blue
You may have noticed that most beach-themed nails are blue. For that reason, I thought it would be nice to add a little purple to the mix.
White Seashell Nails
I think these white seashell nails would be perfect for a summer wedding or other summer event.
Muted Colors
If you love more muted colors, but still want to have fun with your nails, these tan and cream-colored nails are the way to go.
Gems and Texture
These nails use plenty of gems and have lots of texture. If you want to go all out with your beach nails, this design is perfect for you.
Beachy Nails
If you have long nails, this is a cool beachy design to consider. You don’t need acrylics to achieve a beautiful nail design.
Hand-Painted Nails
These hand-painted summer nails are stunning. They look simple, but at the same time quite detailed and unique.
Simple and Trendy
I love when I spot a beautiful set of press-on nails. These colorful nails are perfect for the beach, or summertime in general. If you’re looking for trendy press on nails, I highly recommend checking out Etsy. Press-on nails have definitely come a long way in recent years.
Orange and Gold Glitter
These orange and gold glitter nails are the perfect vacation nails. If you’re planning a beach vacation, these nails would look great on you.
Sea Bed Gradient
These ocean nails use a sea bed gradient. The color choice that was used is perfect. The colors go so well together.
