During the summer, your outfits probably tend to get a bit simpler; rather than layering shirts, pants, jackets, scarves, and other cold weather clothing items, you likely find yourself wearing basic shorts and tank top outfits, or throwing on swimsuits and sundresses. You might even skip the jewelry, makeup, or accessories that you generally add to your looks.
The simplicity of dressing for warm weather is one of the fun parts of summer most people don’t experience all year. However, if you want to keep your sense of style even when you’re paring down your outfits, you should consider ways to keep looking and feeling trendy. The best compliment to a summer outfit is a chic manicure or pedicure. Having nice nails for all your summer plans ensures you always have an extra pop of color or pattern in your outfit.
Florals are one perfect look for summer because they capture the bright, whimsical, cheerful attitude of summer. You might be asking how you can ensure your nails stay nice all season without having to be a regular at the salon instead of the beach; the answer is to upkeep semi cured gel nails. Using only a sheet of semi cured gel stick-ons and a UV lamp, you can have lasting manicures that take your style game to a whole new level!

Tinted
The gentle, pale pink shades making up the Tinted manicure set are subtle enough to compliment your daily outfits, but also lovely enough to bring notice to your nails.

This set appears to have movement to it that is reminiscent of watercolors.
Fleur
The Fleur manicure set is not your conventional floral nail design. The flower sketch art makes this look fun, flirty, laid-back, and perfect for the lazy days of summer.

You can get your whimsy back by wearing this funky floral nail design.
Buddy
The Buddy manicure is the classic, simple but stylish nail look you need to compliment your favorite summer outfits. The black and white color palette ensures it will work with every outfit. And because the base nail color is in a range or nude and white shades, this set is simple and versatile. The little flowers add a pop of fun, too.
To You
Here is a floral nail look that’s out of the box. When you think of floral designs, you may think of tulips, but this twist on a favorite flower is fresh and vibrant. The heart-shaped tips look just like blooming tulips. If you love bright and bold red nails, you should try this twist on the famous red manicure.
Freesia
Buttery yellow nails are perfect for summertime because the soft yellow shade brings to mind the sunshine filling the long summer days. The golden petals on the accent nails are from freesias, a cheery summer bloom that soaks up the sun. If you’re someone who loves spending time outdoors and cheery pastel colors, this manicure is perfect for you.
Summer is a time when your outfits can become simpler as you dress for the heat, but if you want to maintain your style and look put-together all season, the trick is to maintain manicured nails. Because you don’t want to spend your summer inside a salon, you should choose long-lasting semi-cured gel nails you can apply at home. Have fun wearing your cute floral nail designs!
