Our favourite summer 22/23 nail trends

This summer, we’ve fallen in love with a bold array of nail trends. From sparkly, to bright, to glittery and neon, Summer 22-23 nail trends are all about fun and expression. Here’s some inspo to your show your nail tech (and colours you can use at home!).

Pink

Pink made a major comeback in fashion this summer, so it’s no surprise that pink nails are top of the charts, too. From fuchsia to rose to salmon, there’s a trendy pink with your name on it.

We love:

Mavala +Silicium Nail Color in 420 Flower Light (R105.00)

Mavala +Silicium Nail Color in 429 Sydney (R105.00)

CATRICE ICONails Gel Lacquer in 132 Petal To The Metal (R75.95)

Morgan Taylor Clueless Nail Lacquer in She’s A Classic (R172.00)

Brights

If there’s one thing summer isn’t afraid of, it’s colour. And the brighter, the better! We’re loving shades of yellow, orange and coral, and have a special place in our hearts for Y2K-inspired neons. Worried they may be too much for the office? Opt for a bright pedi instead.

We love:

Shimmer / holographic / iridescent

Oh how we love a bit of shimmer! This summer, there is no shortage of holographic, glittery, shimmery and iridescent nail colours on offer. The sparklier, the better!

Euphoria-inspired

It’s no secret that the hit show Euphoria has had a major impact on makeup trends, and nails are no different. Instagram and Tik Tok are filled with gorgeous Euphoria-inspired nail art, and we’re here for it! The more diamantes, glitter, patterns and prints, the better.
