Your dose of vitamin D
July, the time of year when light reigns supreme. We managed to capture this solar energy in a palette of punchy summer shades, in Green™ polish or Green Flash™ semi-permanent, that only makes you want to sip a cool cocktail with your feet in the water!
Solar: sunshine at your fingertips
Previewed at the Spring-Summer 2025 Ralph Lauren show, a dazzling white that flatters beautifully. Like Solar, a pearly white polish sprinkled with golden reflections, like sun rays caressing the skin. More than just a simple white, it adds a touch of glamour to your nails and enhances your tanned skin to amplify the glow effect. We love it on all skin tones, which it embellishes with elegance. Pair this new color with white or beige linen pieces for a “Riviera chic” look, and dare to coordinate your pedicure to extend the radiance to your toes.

Neon Pink: the summer boldness
Neon colors are back! Neon Pink is this vibrant neon pink polish with bluish undertones that stands out as THE shade of this summer season for a fun and confident style. A nod to the Taiwanese fashion house Shiatzy Chen which showcased this beautiful bright pink color in a carefree sportswear look. On fair skin, Neon Pink electrifies; on dark skin, it mesmerizes… Clearly the festive polish color that will define your summer. For a flawless look, pair it with a minimalist white outfit, casual denim, and glowy makeup.
Dare with Neon Pink, this flashy pink that will electrify your looks and make summer vibrate boldly. (@tagwalk)
Lava: the call of long summer evenings
Hot off the press! Here is Lava, a vibrant and glowing orange-red polish that catches the eye, a shade also spotted at Carolina Herrera. This intense color evokes the gentle haze of sunny late afternoons. With its powerful red hue, Lava warms all skin tones. It suits both short nails for a dynamic effect and longer, tapered nails. Pair your red nails with gold jewelry, a light dress, a pastel handbag… and a virgin cocktail in hand.
Lava, our summer crush: the perfect shade to shine all the way to your fingertips. (@tagwalk)
Keep it simple
In summer, elegance sometimes lies in simplicity. Focus on pastel colors and neutral tones as airy as they are refined.

Lilas: a summer mist
A key summer trend, this pastel blue color almost dreamlike, seen on the Spring-Summer silhouettes of Coperni. Lilas embodies this delicate summer color that recalls wildflowers and the clear sky of early summer mornings. A perfect match with fair skin that it gently enhances, or with dark skin that it reveals by contrast. Alongside mint green and baby pink, this soft blue is part of the summer manicure trends not to miss! Pair these pastel colors with white, light gray, or denim for a fresh and perfectly modern look.

Pale Rose: romantic minimalism
At Akris, the trend is minimalism tinged with romance. Pale Rose is the perfect choice to embody this movement: a soft pink polish infused with beige, a trendy color for a soap nails effect and flawless nails. This ultra-chic nude flatters all skin tones, adapting to every natural undertone. Wonderful on both short and long nails, gently caressing them. Pair this pastel color with an oversized linen shirt, nude or pastel accessories for an effortless chic style. For makeup, a cream bronzer and voilà, you’re done!

Bois de Rose: natural sophistication
Timeless elegance is illustrated with Bois de Rose, a soothing color also spotted on the Elie Saab catwalk. A woodsy pink polish with a deeper tone than Pale Rose, perfect for those who want a more pronounced nude, with a touch of glamour and depth. It dresses oval or almond-shaped nails for a classic and ultra-feminine manicure. Wear it with natural fabrics and earthy tones (camel, terracotta, sand) for a clean and super classy look at once.

Let’s drink and refresh!
When the thermometer rises, nothing beats adopting soft colors and adding a little touch of freshness to your nails. Go for polish shades as delicious as they are refreshing, beautiful colors to wear without moderation.
Pistachio: the matcha moment
Pistachio green is THE key color for matcha nails lovers! Star of the Ermanno Scervino runway, it echoes Pistachio, a subtle pastel green, like a breath of nature in the height of summer heat. This manicure trend is stunning on short nails for a healthy effect much sought after this summer, and more fashionable and arty on long nails. Pair this polish color with white jeans, a flowing off-white shirt, and a wicker basket for a casual chic look. If you want a sharper style, dare a full pastel look with a trendy "gelato colors" mint green jacket or dress spotted on the 2025 runways.
For a fresh and trendy manicure, fall for Pistachio, the matcha green that breathes summer. (@tagwalk)
Lemonade: a burst of energy
Craving iced lemonade? Among the tangy shades, Lemonade will be your next color crush, perfect for a summer manicure! This sunny, joyful, and sparkling yellow, spotted on the Anteprima runway, is leading the way for the butter nails manicure trend. A must-have color that brightens fair skin, creates a sunny effect on medium tones, and offers a vibrant contrast that looks amazing on darker skin. Pair Lemonade with white dresses or tropical prints. For a 100% summer duo, combine this fresh color with white sandals and glossy lips – oh yes!
Boost your summer with Lemonade, a fresh and bright yellow that makes your summer manicures shine. (@tagwalk, @unsplash)
Lisa Lilas: Ube Latte inspiration
Goodbye monotony, hello Ube latte vibe. Lisa Lilas takes center stage in this summer’s nail trends by riding the wave of this healthy drink that became an Instagram star with its incredible color!
With Lisa Lilas, your beautiful nails are adorned with a creamy and enveloping pastel mauve, less “baby doll” than a classic lavender. This pastel shade is one of the viral colors right now, also spotted at Emporio Armani, stunning on medium-length almond or rounded square nails. Pair Lisa Lilas with sky blue, mint, or pearl gray pieces for a lovely range of soft colors. For a bolder look, dare to combine lilac & soft orange or lilac & candy pink, both very present on the catwalks this season!
