Summer Manicure Pedicure Colors From Essie
Summer is the season to experiment with new beauty looks – pink and red nails will always have their place, but this season call for pastels, icy blues and earth tones instead.
Not quite coral and not orange, a blushy apricot nail polish from Essie like Snooze In is the ideal balance between nude and bold. Additionally, its vibrant hue will match perfectly any sun-kissed tan!
Cherry Red
Red is an eye-catching hue, offering a striking accent to your look and inspiring feelings of passion and energy according to color theory.
No matter your romantic mood or nail art needs, Essie Expressie quick-dry nail polish has an option for every mood and occasion – seize the minute is an essie classic cherry red that is opaque in two coats while Forever Yum features cool blue undertones for an enjoyable classic red manicure experience.
Red nail polish is the perfect accessory to complement any summer outfit and enhance tans, and classic colors never go out of fashion.
Seafoam Green
Bring back those school playground days with fun, playful primary brights. According to Rita Remark of Essie Global Lead Educator Rita Remark, colors like ‘perfectly peculiar” – a mint green with yellow undertones – can add a unique and playful element to a classic nude look.
Remark recommends muted tones as an effective summer nail color option, like “Snooze In”, which straddles the line between coral and neutral nails.
Enhance your at-home pedicure with a hydrating cuticle treatment to extend the longevity of your nail color, then follow Remark’s step-by-step guides on creating an exquisite French manicure at home – you’ll end up with chic manis that make you feel as if you just left the salon!
Off-White
Off-white nail polish trends are perfect for summer. Picture yourself relaxing on white sand in an exotic paradise while sipping coconut cocktails from your palm tree-filled palm. The soft frosted shade evokes that atmosphere with just the right touch of shimmer for added panache. Plus, its neutral colors pair nicely with bikinis for beachy appeal!
2024 is all about positivity and peace, so this neutral color pays homage. Use Essie‘s Ridge Filling Base Coat before applying this shade for easy application and perfectly even nails.
Yellow nails may be divisive, but this summer pastel shades are all the rage. Try essie‘s whitened yellow hues like lemon sorbet and atelier at the bay for a gentler take on sunny hues. Pair your look with an intense cobalt shade to add an eye-catching pop of color.
Pearly Beige
Neutral nude nail polish adds an air of femininity to any summer ensemble. For an approachable softly muted color trend, try Deborah Lippmann’s cool-toned periwinkle shade; it pairs beautifully with both white linen beach dresses and black minidresses.
Rita Remark of Essie noted that yellow will also be an essential nail trend this season. Choose a bright sunny shade like Sunshine Be Mine, or go for something more subdued like Push Play; its rich cobalt blue hue pairs perfectly with any warm-weather ensemble.
No matter the hue, Essie offers something perfect. Their nourishing cuticle oil and nail strengthener help ensure long-term wear for beautiful nails.
Bright Red
If you want to wear the boldest hue possible, choose a classic red manicure. Glamour commerce editor Calle recommends Orly’s Persistent Memory; alternatively try Dior Vernis Gel Shine in Red Smile for more vampy glamour.
Not quite coral and not orange, apricot is an elegant manicure middle ground that complements medium to dark skin tones beautifully. Sweet and sugary hues like OPI Nail Lacquer in Peggy Sunburn look chic on short natural nails for a striking finish.
Bright purple is trending. From lush lavender to dark mauve hues, essie‘s “merino cool” offers dark skin tones an affordable solution.
