Sizzling Summer Nail Trends You’ll Love in 2025

06. 16. 2025

At Suede Salon Spa, we believe your nails are more than just an accessory—they’re a statement. And nothing says "summer-ready" like a fresh, on-trend manicure. As the sun shines brighter and the days get longer, it's time to trade in your moody winter hues for vibrant, feel-good colors and playful designs.

Ready to get inspired? Our expert nail artists are keeping a close eye on the hottest summer 2025 nail trends, and we've curated a list of the must-have looks that will turn heads at pool parties, weekend getaways, and everything in between.

1. Glazed Donut Nails 2.0

Glazed donut nails made waves last year thanks to their glossy, pearlescent sheen—and they’re not going anywhere. This summer, the trend evolves with subtle undertones of lilac, peach, or mint beneath that iconic chrome finish. Think of it as the elevated glow-up of your favorite minimalist mani.

At Suede, our techs use high-shine topcoats and the perfect blend of iridescent powders to give you that luscious, dewy finish that reflects light beautifully.

2. Watercolor & Marble Magic

Whimsical and artsy, watercolor and marble nails are perfect for those who love a more abstract vibe. These designs mimic the soft, blended tones of watercolor paintings or the luxe look of natural stone—no two nails are ever the same.

We customize every swirl and shade based on your color palette preference. Whether you want calming blues and seafoam greens or vibrant pinks and golds, our artists create mini masterpieces on each nail.

3. French Tips with a Twist

Classic French manicures are timeless, but this summer, we're taking them to the next level. Imagine rainbow tips, diagonal lines, or micro-French accents in unexpected neon or pastel colors. It’s fresh, fun, and totally Instagram-worthy.

French tips are the perfect way to play with color while keeping a clean, elegant base, especially when you need a manicure that transitions from day to night effortlessly.

4. Citrus Crush Colors

When the temperature rises, so does the intensity of nail color. This year, juicy shades like tangerine, lemon zest, watermelon pink, and lime green are dominating the scene.

These fruity tones pair perfectly with beachwear and summer dresses, offering a pop of color that energizes your look. Ask your Suede nail technician about pairing a citrus base with chrome accents or nail art for added dimension.

5. 3D Nail Art & Embellishments

For those who love bold expression, 3D nail designs are the ultimate conversation starter. We’re seeing everything from mini pearls and crystals to raised floral designs and textured decals.

We offer custom nail art services where we can design detailed looks that reflect your personal style—whether it’s boho-chic or ultra-glam.

6. Soft Neutrals with Sheer Shine

Not every summer mani has to be bright and bold. Soft neutrals—like creamy nudes, sandy beiges, and sheer pinks—are making a major impact with their understated elegance.

These colors give off a natural, fresh-from-the-spa vibe. They're perfect for everyday wear, beach weddings, or when you simply want a clean, polished look.

7. Match Your Mani & Pedi

Coordinated manis and pedis are back in a big way. While contrast colors had their moment, this summer’s trend is all about harmonious tones—think mauve fingers and dusty rose toes, or coral across the board.

We help you select a palette that complements your skin tone and summer style, so your nails look beautifully balanced from hand to foot.
