7 Nail Polish Colors That Enhance Your Summer Tan: From Milky White to Spritz Orange
Back from enjoying your Euro summer? Pack away the vacation blues: here's why you have to be paying attention to your summer nails. Fresh from summering abroad (or in your sunspot of a backyard), you might be reaching for a glittering body oil to extend the life of your glowing tan—but have you considered your next nail appointment as an optimum time to enhance your sunny complexion? Summer nails = summer tan with a longer shelf life, without the need to bake yourself in the sun. PSA: wear a good SPF everywhere, including your hands. With the right colors, you can make your tan and your hands the basis of your summer 'fits. You can play around with brighter, bolder shades, which harmonize with the undertones of the skin. Or emphasize the warmth with spicier shades such as terracotta and chocolate brown, desert tones, or variants of a classic nude. The best summer nails, then, play with contrasts: white might be a go-to, but tones like charcoal gray or electric blue can become the perfect pop of color to energize the tan. And, then, there are seasonal classics like juicy orange nail polish, zesty yellows, or raspberry pink, as well as some streaks of neon, that still ring true for summer nails 2025. Below, Vogue breaks down some of the best summer nails to keep you looking radiant. Spritz orange What shade represents Euro summer best? A juicy, thirst-quenching orange of course. Situate yourself on the coast of Italy, clutching a cold drink. What's your manicure saying? The image that defines Italian riviera lounging is that of a cool, Spritz-based aperitif. Orange nail polish is perfect for enhancing a tan: a warm shade that plays up the almost spicy highlights in your skin, and that allow a golden complexion to shine. Photo: Instagram (@_pernails) Milky white White nail polish is a classic color that emphasizes the warmer notes in your skin—it feels very '80s Ibiza, totally Balearic. While you might think to reach for a chalky white, really, you should make way for the on-trend, milky, and delicate shades that give the manicure an almost creamy look.

Hailey Bieber's Glass Polka Dot Manicure Adds the Cutest Twist to the Bare Nail Trend

Instagram/@haileybieber Hailey Bieber is cosigning 'polka dot summer' in the most Hailey Bieber way possible. On July 4, the 28-year-old model debuted her latest summer manicure, ditching her lemon-yellow and white polka dot nails in favor of a more subtle approach to the trending pattern. In lieu of the lemon drop manicure tied to her latest Rhode launch, Bieber is dipping back into the natural nail craze by rocking glassy clear polish with dainty white spots, proving that two of the biggest trends of summer 2025 go hand-in-hand.

Nailed It Glass Nails Are the Ultimate Minimalist Manicure Simple, clean, and fresh. She first debuted the nail design with a selfie on Instagram story, coincidentally demonstrating that Rhode's lemontini lip tint packs the same amount of shine as her glass polka dot manicure. She also posted a cheeky TikTok video, applying the peptide treatment while lip-synching a quote by Love Island breakout star Amaya Espinal. (Limited-edition Amaya Papaya lip tint when?!) Suddenly, nail designs have found their way back into the conversation as minimalism continues to dominate summer 2025 nail trends—and Hailey Bieber isn't the only celebrity pushing the boundaries of the bare nail trend with the use of polka dots. Sabrina Carpenter sported a slightly less glassy version of a bare polka dot manicure in her 'Manchild' music video, courtesy of Bieber's longtime celebrity nail artist Zola Ganzorigt. At the time, Ganzorigt confirmed she used one coat of the OPI shade Passion and one coat of Bare My Soul to create the perfect nude shade for Carpenter, adding the spots with Alpine Snow. Carpenter loved the look so much, she requested the design again in late June, adding a couple sparkling rhinestones. Even more recently, Dua Lipa debuted a playful French manicure with white polka dots on black tips, adding even more white spots all-over a couple accent nails. After all, if polka dots are covering all of our dresses, capris, and bikini tops, why shouldn't we add them to our summer nail rotation?

Lemon Drop Nails: The Dolce Vita Manicure You're About To See Everywhere
From blueberry milk to butter, cherry, and caramel: Nail trends of the past moments have been pretty delectable. How, enter your summer sweet (or sour?) treat mani: Lemon drop nails. Last summer was all about tutti frutti nails: Fruit salad-forward, 3D decal nail art. It's a rather illustrative name for a manicure that peaked in virality in 2024, and continues to find new life and variations in 2025. This time, our nails are prioritizing one single, seasonal, summery fruit: The lemon, a la the bright and bold Italian Sfusato Amalfitano variety. Perfect for a Dolce Vita summer. Still, the trend for lemon nails is anything but plain—lemonade nails, even. We're seeing lemony colors combined with blue accents, and even white stripes. These more colorful, detailed designs are reminiscent of another Italian aesthetic too: Vietri tableware, a type of traditional glazed ceramics you'll often see around the Amalfi Coast. Lemons, too, have long been an emblem of Italian houses, from Dolce & Gabbana to Roberto Cavalli. Beyond Italy, these nails are all over Instagram and TikTok. There are plenty of reasons to adore this new crop of lemon nails. They're perfectly suited to summer and vacation—lemons are in abundance this season, and you'll be seeing lemons in prints, desserts, and drinks. More practically, the lemon holds a particular visual appeal: The designs are suitable for both short and longer nails, and you can totally adapt it to your taste. The daring can add larger accents or more colors, or if you're into the more understated, you can opt for the solid lemony color. And whether or not you're planning a trip to southern Italy, it's a transportive, good vibes mani. Conclusion: If life gives you lemons, get a lemonade manicure. Below, see some of the best 'lemon drop' nails to inspire your next trip to the nail salon.

The nail colours that look outdated in summer 2025 - and the shades to pick instead
You know that feeling when you look down at your nails and think: 'They just look... wrong?' It's not chipped polish or a dodgy shape, it's just the colour. What looked chic in February is giving 'forgot to update for summer' by June. You're not wrong: nail colour trends shift with the seasons, and this summer is all about bold, clean and feminine shades. So, if you're still clinging to your usual go-to like a safety blanket (my best friend considers going from Ferrari Red to Big Apple Red as a seismic change), here are the colours to have on rotation this season. OUT: Glazed Donut Nails IN: Almond Milk Nails The pearly Glazed Donut sheen that once ruled TikTok (thanks Hailey Bieber) now feels a little too understated. A cuter neutral for summer is Almond Milk: cooler-toned and creamier, with more of a white than nude finish. OUT: Butter Yellow Soft, pastel yellows had their sunshine moment and are still dominating when it comes to clothes, but this summer's mani vibe is louder and bolder. Highlighter yellow is neon-bright, mood-lifting, and made for showing off against bronzed skin and beach towels. It's the type of thing you can only – and should only – rock in summer. OUT: Deep Red IN: Picante Red Deep, rich reds are now the staple of grandmas – this summer it's getting nudged aside by something spicier. Picante red is lighter, warmer, and leans into orange territory, like a sun-drenched chilli or the perfect paprika. It's vibrant, fiery, and perfect for those OUT: Classic French Polish IN: Fresh White All-Over The dainty French manicure has had its day. This season, it's all about committing to white. A full, opaque fresh white feels modern, confident and instantly summery, like a linen dress for your nails. Bonus: it makes even the faintest tan look golden. OUT: Brat Green IN: Tiffany Blue Punchy, hyper-green had its wild moment (thanks, Charli XCX and the party girl renaissance), but summer 2025 is softening the mood. Tiffany Blue brings back Audrey Hepburn elegance – it's polished, playful, and says 'expensive' without shouting. Think martinis, not vodka shots. OUT: Sparkly Shades IN: Iridescent Finish
