Nail Art Trends We’re Loving For Summer

For many of us, getting a manicure is a self-care write-off. It takes time and money, yes, but there’s just something about carrying around nice fingernails (insert your adjective of choice: long, rounded, neutral, bright) that makes the hard things in life feel just a teeny bit easier. Of course, you can always do your own nails at home — grab a polish bottle or a box of press-on

and the glue they come with — but nothing can replace the full value of a salon manicure, especially if you’re looking to have it all handled: shaping, gel extensions, and the pièce de résistance: nail art.
We’ve been charting the rise of nail art for the past few years, and the trends in designs have evolved. While there’s no color or design that’s certified ‘in’ or ‘out,’ because your art aesthetic is personal and subjective, there are a few fun looks that are predicted to be really trendy this coming year, according to artists, creatives, and industry pros. To find the inspiration to bring to your next appointment, scroll through the 2022 nail art trend report, ahead.
