Your dose of vitamin D
July is all about light. We’ve bottled that solar energy in a punchy palette of summer shades, available in Green™ polish and long-lasting Green Flash™ gel polish—perfect for poolside days and icy cocktails.
Solar: sunshine at your fingertips
Spotted on the Spring-Summer 2025 Ralph Lauren runway, this radiant white is seriously flattering. Just like Solar: a pearly white polish flecked with golden shimmer, reminiscent of sunbeams dancing on skin. Far from basic, this shade adds a touch of glamour to your nails and enhances sun-kissed skin for that radiant glow. Flattering on every skin tone, pair it with white or beige linen pieces for a “Riviera chic” vibe, and match your pedi for full-on glow.
Neon Pink: bold and bright
Neon is back! Neon Pink is a vibrant neon pink with cool undertones—a top pick this summer for a fun, confident vibe. A nod to Taiwanese label Shiatzy Chen, who showcased this bold pink in a relaxed sportswear look. Striking on lighter skin, hypnotic on deeper tones… it's the must-have party polish of the season. Style tip: wear it with minimal white, casual denim and a glowy make-up look for maximum impact.
Lava: for long summer nights
Turn up the heat with Lava, a fiery, poppy-toned red-orange that grabs attention. This intense hue was also spotted at Carolina Herrera and brings to mind those golden-hour vibes. Lava’s bold red tones complement every skin tone and shine on both short and long nails. Pair it with gold jewellery, a breezy dress and a pastel bag for summer evenings that sparkle—mocktail in hand.
Keep it simple
In summer, elegance often lies in simplicity. Think pastel hues and soft neutrals that feel as light and refined as a summer breeze.
Lilas: a soft summer haze
This season’s standout trend, this pastel blue shade feels almost dreamlike. Seen on the Spring-Summer runway at Coperni, Lilas channels the delicate hues of wildflowers and clear summer skies. Perfect for pale skin it gently brightens, or for deeper skin where it pops in contrast. Alongside mint green and baby pink, this soft blue is one of the top summer nail trends. Pair it with white, light grey or denim for a fresh, modern look.
Pale Rose: minimalist romance
At Akris, minimalism gets a romantic twist. Pale Rose nails are your go-to: a soft pink infused with beige, perfectly on trend for a clean soap nails look and flawless finish. This chic nude flatters every skin tone by blending beautifully with natural undertones. Ideal on short or long nails, it adds a whisper of elegance. Style it with an oversized linen shirt and pastel accessories for that effortless chic feel. Top off the look with a cream bronzer—done and glowing!
Bois de Rose: natural sophistication
Timeless elegance comes to life with Bois de Rose, a calming shade seen on the Elie Saab runway. This woodsy rose polish is deeper than Pale Rose—ideal if you're after a more pronounced nude with added glamour. It looks beautiful on oval or almond-shaped nails for a classic, elevated look. Pair it with natural materials and earthy tones (camel, terracotta, sand) for a polished, pared-back finish.
Let’s drink and refresh!
When the temperature rises, refreshing colour is a must! Dive into cool, juicy shades for an instant burst of freshness. Think of them as your summer smoothie—but for your nails.
Pistachio: matcha moment
Pistachio green is the top choice for matcha nail lovers! Seen at Ermanno Scervino, it mirrors the vibe of Pistachio, a soft pastel green that feels like a breath of nature on sun-soaked days. This manicure trend looks amazing on short nails for a healthy, effortless feel, or edgy and artistic on longer nails. Style it with white jeans, a breezy shirt, and a straw bag—or go full pastel with minty shades for that 2025 “gelato colour” runway vibe.
Lemonade: a sunny spark
Craving something citrusy? Lemonade is your next summer crush: a sunny, fizzy yellow seen at Anteprima and riding high on the butter nails trend. This zesty shade brightens fair skin, glows on medium tones, and creates a bold contrast on darker skin. Wear it with white dresses, tropical prints or glossy lips and white sandals for a full-on summer mood!
Lisa Lilas: the Ube latte vibe
Bored of basic? Embrace the Ube latte trend! Lisa Lilas is the creamy pastel purple inspired by this healthy Instagram-famous drink. Less “baby doll” than classic lavender, Lisa Lilas is a viral colour this season—seen at Emporio Armani—and perfect for almond or square-shaped nails. Pair it with mint, sky blue or pearl grey for a dreamy combo, or be bold with lilac + orange or soft pink—two hot catwalk combos this year!
This summer, you don’t need to travel to escape—your nails are going on a colour journey of their own. From soft lilacs to citrusy yellows, treat yourself to a festival of manicures… Follow your mood and pick the shades that’ll capture your best summer moments.
