This gorgeous, minimal matte manicure is courtesy of the infamous NYC nail studio, Paintbox Nails. While summer is known for hot romances, wild nights on the beach and an overall high energy of the season (hello, neon nail colors), there is a softer side to summer. This particular pastel nail design, with its robin egg blue hue and sweeping white line, stirs up memories of collecting seashells at a summer beach house. These sandy shades transport us so much, we can almost hear the ocean waves crashing against the shore.

These adorable polka-dot nails are the true embodiment of the saying, "a little goes a long way." Just a few polished dots here and there instantly glam up a naked nail. This simple yet whimsical nail design was created by one of our favorite Los Angeles nail salons, Olive & June, using OPI Nail Lacquer in Alpine Snow, Black Onyx, I Believe In Manicures and GPS I Love You. The tasteful polka dots nail design puts a modern spin on the classic French manicure trend of the '90s and early aughts, making digits look like little bits of confetti wrapped around a morning latte.

Turn heads this summer with these punchy, rainbow neon nails. Who doesn't love channeling the fun, wild-child vibes they give off during the hottest season of the year? These statement-making nails, designed by professional manicurist, Hannah Lee (aka @hannahroxit), captures the spirit of summer with colorful neon nail polish, but avoids feeling over the top, thanks to the strategic use of negative space. Love this nail art as much as we do? Get the full tutorial for the gorgeous summer nail design here.

Let's face it. Everyone loves flowers. (Tell me you're not just a smidge happier the minute you stumble across a gorgeous bouquet on your Insta feed.) And right now, our flower obsession is in full bloom, thanks to the ephemeral peony season that's upon up. That's just one reason why we're enchanted with Karen Gutierrez's (aka @karengnails) peony-inspired ombre nail design.

These gorgeous cotton-candy-colored nails let you channel your inner flower child without spending hours trying to hand-draw a petal or 12. And the good news? Ombre nails are incredibly easy to recreate. Just grab your favorite pastel polishes and follow this easy step-by-step tutorial for a dreamy summer manicure.

Do you ever stumble across a nail design and think to yourself, "I need that on my nails RN?" Yeah, we totally feel you. Often times, the nail art we swoon over plays on the details, so we couldn't help but gawk when this gorgeous nail design created by @xlight_nails came across our feed.

The cheery white and yellow sunflower design pops against a neutral gray polish (Zoya Nail Polish, $10, in Dove). We love that the floral design (easily achieved using this nail stamp, $4.99) is only on two accent nails to keep the overall look subdued. Less really is more, ladies.
