If you’re planning to upgrade your beauty game this summer, don’t just restrict yourself to a fresh new hair cut and colour, experiment with your manicure as well.

Whether you’re into colour blocking, pastel hues, metallic finish or just a good old monochrome combination, we’ve got a list of 15 summer nail ideas that you can explore.
When it comes to pattern, don’t just limit yourself to simple blooms, opt for a different design for each nail or leave a large negative space and just work on the tips. And if you’re feeling extra adventurous, you can also blend two techniques or go for effects like the marble, sponge bobbing or even the air brush technique.
