With everyone’s current obsession with color analysis, it can be easy to chalk up summer nail colors to whatever shades are most flattering for your skin tone. But if you’re not the biggest fan of the season that’s been assigned to you or you just prefer to wear whatever color you please, you’re in luck. When it comes to our manicures and pedicures, you can throw out the rule book—anything goes. Summertime, after all, is meant for adventures.
“ perfect to rock from winter to summer as they go with everything and still feel so minimal, yet fresh,” says celebrity nail artist Queenie Nguyen. She recommends going towards an off-white shade for something a bit more unexpected. We like this Deborah Lippmann Gel Lab Pro in Tenderness which has deep mauve undertones or the Sundays No. 48 which is warm and creamy with a tint of pink.
