There’s nothing like the changing of the seasons to spark inspiration for a fresh manicure. Transitioning from spring’s pastels to bold, attention-grabbing hues, the top summer nail colour trends of 2025 include a vacay-ready assortment of playful polishes.

Whether you’re due for a pedicure or you’re dreaming up your first manicure of the season, we’ve rounded up five chic shades to paint your nails this summer. From tasty butter yellow and matcha green to beachy coral and blue, scroll on to start shopping.

Lean into the red-hot spirit of the warmer months with a fiery coral manicure. This high-octane shade can vary in tone from vibrant tangerine to softer hues with more of a peach base. We love the way it contrasts against crisp white clothing (think: your breezy linens and floor-grazing evening gowns) for a striking pop of colour.

Jetting off to somewhere tropical? Make a splash with a pool-inspired set of blue nails. Aquamarine? Cerulean? Turquoise? A punchier follow-up to the blueberry milk polish trend of the past, these aquatic tips are sure to make a summery statement wherever you’re headed.

There’s pink polish, and then there’s syrup pink polish. This colour trend calls for a sheer lacquer with a jelly-like texture that’s much more translucent than your average pink. With a barely-there feel that still looks polished and put-together, it’s the chic shade that’ll never let you down.

This season, sip your matcha and wear it too. Like the drink, matcha-coloured nails can range from pale and milky to rich and verdant. If green has been your go-to shade of summers past, give this delicious colour trend a try for a fresh, new look. So, how do you take your matcha?

We bet you knew this one was coming. Yes, the butter yellow manicure reigns on! As seen on fingertips from Rihanna to Hailey Bieber, this buttermilk hue has been everywhere as of late, and nails are no exception. A borderline neutral that promises to pair well with your summer wardrobe, it’s a no-brainer pick for anyone who wants more of a subtle swipe of colour that still shines.
