6 Summer Nail Looks Going Viral on TikTok Right Now

By

Every summer TikTok picks a handful of nail looks and runs with them, and right now our feed is basically one gorgeous manicure after another. So we pulled the designs that are actually blowing up this week, the ones real nail artists are getting thousands of saves on, and rounded them up in one place.

Save this for your next appointment. At least two of these are about to end up on your nails.

1. Tortoise Gold Chrome

This is the one that stopped us mid scroll. Warm tortoise shell, liquid gold chrome, and a tiny gold outlined accent, all on a nude almond base. It looks impossibly expensive and takes you from late summer straight into fall. If you save one look from this whole list, make it this one.

2. Playful Pink and Chrome Mix

Bubblegum pink, soft lilac, and a hit of gold chrome, finished with little hand drawn stars. It is playful without being childish, and the mismatched accent nails make the whole set feel custom. Perfect if you are bored of matchy matchy.

3. Beachy White and Gold French

A milky French tip dressed up with tiny florals, paired with a gold starfish. It is the manicure equivalent of a beach holiday, soft and sunny and a little bit fancy. The blooming gel gives it that dreamy, blurred finish everyone is asking for.

4. Blue Blooming Florals

Sheer milky white with hand painted blue flowers that bleed softly into the base. Clean, fresh, and easy to wear with absolutely everything, this is the low effort high reward look of the season. It photographs beautifully too.

5. Buttery Yellow

Soft, buttery yellow quietly became the color of the summer, and it looks even better against a tan. Warm without being loud, it is the gateway shade for anyone who finds bright neon a bit much.

6. Character Nails (Yes, Really)

Because summer nails do not have to be serious. Character and fandom nails are having a huge moment, and a tiny cartoon on your fingertips is peak fun. It is the look people screenshot and send straight to the group chat. Expect to see a lot more of this.
