Sunkissed Drip: your nails in summer mode
Warm, electrifying shades, like sun-drenched hues, fabulous for enhancing your first tans, to discover in Green™ polish or Green Flash™ semi-permanent polish... It’s summer time!
Indian Summer
Inspired by earth tone nails and spotted on the Spring-Summer 2026 runway of Balmain, this warm brick red shade recalls the ochre lands of the South, sunburnt by the sun. Super chic and timeless, it works just as well by day as by night.
Indian Summer is a safe bet for your monochrome summer manicures.

Tangerine
The bright vitamin orange stands out as one of the big trends this summer, as seen in fashion at Courrèges. In polish, Tangerine is bold without being flashy and instantly boosts all looks. We love it on short nails.

Neotropics: the art of contrast
Here, tangy colors explode, pigments intensify, and contrasts are embraced. Perfect for those who plan to step off the beaten path this summer!
Neon Pink
At Dries Van Noten, flashy pink is the highlight this season. We love it too: proof is Neon Pink, this pink with bluish undertones ultra vibrant that breaks the rules.

Lime
Like a sparkling lime, Lime is this anise green with yellow undertones very distinctive, also seen on the Spring-Summer 2026 runway of Lanvin. A surprising color that pulses and adds a tangy touch to your hands. It pairs wonderfully with neutral-toned looks to create a fascinating contrast.
Lime polish to bring a zest of freshness to your nails.

Crème
Softer, the milky nails trend is still going strong! Adopt it with the tender and enveloping Crème. It dresses your nails with a creamy white veil of subtle elegance. A safe choice for all occasions. A shade also spotted in the Dior Spring-Summer 2026 collection.

💡 Tip nail art: mix a milky base with neon polishes for a subtle and trendy nail art at the same time. In French manicure or graphic patterns, the result is remarkable!
Care bonus: enhance your nails naturally
Even before choosing your color, you know a beautiful manicure starts with a good care routine. For visibly smoother and brighter nails, focus on natural nail care and hybrid polishes between care & make-up.
The Glossy Booster Duo
It’s the glossy nails routine without polish, which instantly reveals the natural light of your nails.
Designed for dull nails, the Glossy Booster Duo combines the exfoliating action of the Glycolic Peeling with the smoothing gesture of the Buffer. In just a few seconds, the surface transforms: smoother, shinier, as if polished to perfection. A routine we love for summer, inspired by the Japanese manicure!
Promise confirmed by the instrumental test conducted on a panel of 28 people. After a single application:

How to choose the ideal polish color for June?
Finding the best nail polish color for June is not always easy… Here are our tips to make the right choice:
According to your complexion
Light skin will favor fresh and pinkish colors, translucent jelly, pastel manicures, and milky tones.
Medium skin will dare more with vitamin orange or spicy red nail colors and berry nails.
Dark skin will confidently bet on a palette of neon colors, flashy greens, lagoon blues, and ultra vibrant colors.
According to your clothing style
Is your wardrobe minimalist? It will work with Crème white nails or the transparency of a Sugar Plum.
Are you more of a bold type? Neon Pink, Lime, and Twizzle will match wonderfully with your wardrobe.
A wardrobe with a romantic style? Try Pink Sorbet or Active Glow™ Raspberry.
A chic look in all circumstances? Glacé and Indian Summer are what you need.
Also think about your daily life: a soft shade will be more versatile, while a bright color will add character to your summer looks.
As summer approaches, let yourself be tempted by colors full of joy and energy.
