The weather’s definitely getting warmer — a clear indication that sandal season is upon us. It’s time to pack away heavy boots to make room for open-toe sandals and slipons. Also, there’s no escaping that much-needed pedicure you’ve been skipping all through winter. While you book an appointment with your favourite girl at the nail spa, I’ve rounded up some fabulous nail colours that have summer written all over them!
1. Lauren B. Beauty Hollywood Land (Rs 1,014)
White is an extremely chic choice, especially for summers. There’s something inherently boho about solid opaque white nails. Here’s why our editor thinks white nails are so trendy right now!
2. POPbeauty Nail Glam Ablaze (Rs 1,194)
A spring wardrobe without a coral element in it is totally wrong! Coral nails are the ultimate spring accessory.
3. Avon Nailwear Pro+ Nail Enamel French Tip Lilac (Rs 149)
Leaning more on white pink a hint of lilac, this nail enamel is perfect for people who prefer neutral nails over colour.
4. Essie Nail Polish Spaghetti Strap (Rs 541)
This sheer pink colour is perfect for embracing spring in all its glory.
5. Essence Colour & Go Nail Polish Absolutely Blue (Rs 199)
What’s summer without its fair share of blues, right? This sea foam blue will make you want to run to the beach right NOW!
6. China Glaze Pool Party (Rs 500)
Aptly named Pool Party, it would be a shame to deprive your talons of this hot pink beauty.
7. Lakme Absolute Gel Stylist Nail Polish Peach Schnapps (Rs 220)
This pastel coral nail varnish and a Mara Hoffman bikini is all you need to take to your next pool party.
8. Streetwear Color Rich Nail Enamel Snap It (Rs 50)
While canary yellow is a bold colour to carry off, there’s no doubt that it is a statement-making shade.
9. Colorbar Nail Enamel Exclusive Lime Margarita (Rs 175)
Neons are crazy fun to wear in the summers. This varnish from Colorbar is young, fresh, vibrant, and zesty. I approve!
10. Maybelline Color Show Nail Lacquer Mint Mojito (Rs 100)
If neon green is just too much for you, this minty shade is definitely something you can carry off with ease.
11. Maybelline Color Show Glitter Mania Nail Lacquer Pink Champagne (Rs 145)
How do you dress your nails for an easy-breezy date on a balmy summer evening? This glittery, barely-there-pink nail colour is perfection.
12. L’Oreal Paris Colour Riche Collection Star Vernis Pinks Aishwarya (Rs 299)
I’ve always had a soft spot for hot pink and fuchsia nail colours, and this varnish is no exception.
13. Deborah Lippmann Video Killed The Radio Star (Rs 1,393)
I think blue is a universally flattering colour. I don’t think I’ve come across anyone who can’t carry off blue nails effortlessly.
14. Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure All Fired Up (Rs 299)
This fiery red is equal parts cherry and orange and is a summer staple.
15. LYN Nail Polish Get A Compli-Mint (Rs 350)
This minty blue reminds me of the clear blue sky above an azure ocean!
