So far this season, my nail routine has looked something like this: First, I’ll rummage through the never-ending options of summer nail colors in my collection with the intention of choosing something fun to spice things up a bit. I’ll consider Day-Glo pink, neon orange, or camo green—and promptly chicken out of bright summer nails, returning to my standard cherry red because I’m just that predictable. Sound familiar?
Thankfully, my Glamour colleagues are much more daring, and when I find myself in need of trending nail designs or a color change, they’ve got suggestions. After recently finding myself reaching for a bottle of Big Apple Red yet again, I decided to take a poll: What are the best summer nail colors everyone’s using this year? Their answers were too good not to share. From vacation shades worthy of the Instagram grid to colors that pop against a fresh tan (thank you, self tanners) here are the best summer colors to wear this season.
