Sherbet Orange mimics the delectable icy confection that we all know and love — a divine frozen summertime treat. It’s the ideal color for folks who favor bold *statement* shades, as opposed to something nude or muted.

Popularized by the queen of nail trends, Hailey Beiber, Farmer’s Market nails are a terrific choice for all you ladies who like to keep it quirky. If you want to step outside the box and do things a little differently this time around, be sure to flash these nails scattered with itty-bitty versions of farmer’s market items.

Whether you use nail stickers or intricately drawn nail art, you can draw on all your favorite farmer’s market items like freshly picked apples, a bunch of grapes, or succulent peaches. Whatever you’d like! Now’s your chance to truly break from the norm and get creative.

It may not be the most conventional look, but we’re low-key obsessed with this summertime nail trend. After all, normal is bland, so take a leap and have some fun with Farmer’s Market.

Pastel Tips

Pastel Tips is a spectacular nail trend because it blends minimalism and maximalism for an array of glowing colors that are impossible to ignore.

I’m personally obsessed with this look, simply due to how eccentric it is. Whether you want to keep the pastel tips the same color or switch it up per finger, the choice is entirely up to you.

On-trend tips we’re seeing right now are Seafoam Ballet, Pink, Mint Green, and a sumptuous Lilac.

Sunset Ombre
