Solid color nails aren’t just classic and timeless, they’re also totally chic. With the right colors, textures and techniques, a pop of solid color can elevate any look. From bold hues to neutral looks that are perfect for work, there’s a way to show off your unique style while also looking professional and put together.
Whether you’re looking for a fun nail art look or simply want to upgrade your regular manicure, here are some ideas to try out this season.
For a playful and flirty style, combine pink and glitter on your nails. This girly duo is great for any occasion and can be dressed up with metallic accents or kept subtle for daily wear.
Another great option is to paint your nails a pastel blue shade. “A baby blue [like this one by content creator Amber] is a unique tone that works for summer but will also transition nicely into the fall,” she says.
