A change of season is the perfect excuse to refresh not just your wardrobe, but your manicure as well. Spring and summer 2026 have brought an incredible balance to the nail industry, merging absolute naturalness with bold, juicy accents. While some opt for a flawless, clean nude, others are fully experimenting with textures and unique special effects.
In this article, we’ve rounded up the main trends that our studio guests and global influencers are choosing right now.
Current Nail Shapes: Bet on Softness
In 2026, fashion is officially moving away from sharp, aggressive angles. The trend focuses on maximum organic flow and soft lines:
- Soft Square: An absolute hit for short and medium-length nails. It looks clean, structured, and incredibly stylish.
- Oval and Almond: The ideal choice for those who prefer length. These shapes visually elongate the fingers, make the hands look more elegant, and are considered the most durable for daily wear.
Trending Palette: From "Naked" Manicures to Juicy Berries
This spring and summer, we’ve highlighted the top 5 shades that simply must make an appearance on your nails:
- Butter Yellow: This delicate, pastel-yellow shade has become the star color of the season. It looks softer than stark white and beautifully accentuates your early summer tan.
- Translucent Peach (Peach Fuzz & Nude): A continuation of the natural aesthetic. Nails look "naked" but carry a healthy, porcelain glow and a perfect light reflection.
- Matcha Latte (Matcha Green): A muted, deep pistachio-green hue—the perfect choice for spring days when you want freshness without excessive brightness.
- Berry Syrup (Jelly Nails): Translucent jelly coatings in red, cherry, and pink tones. They create a "glass nail" effect that shimmers juicily under the sun.
- Sky Blue: A crisp, cool celestial shade that refreshes any look and looks flawless whether in a solid color or a nail art design.
Top Designs to Try
If a solid color feels a bit too simple, turn your attention to the main nail art trends of this summer:
- Micro-French: A modern take on the classic French manicure, but with an ultra-thin, literally thread-like "smile" line. It can be classic white or done in vivid neon and pastel shades.
- Liquid Metal & Chrome: Chrome powders aren't losing ground! The top trends include pearlescent chrome over a nude base and futuristic, 3D molten drops mimicking melted silver or gold.
- Watercolor Flowers & "Blush Nails": A soft gradient right in the center of the nail, resembling a delicate blush, or barely-there watercolor washes. Maximum romance and airiness.
Tip from our studio's top master:
During summer, our hands are more frequently exposed to sun and dry weather. To ensure any manicure—even the trendiest one—looks 100% expensive and well-groomed, remember to use a nourishing cuticle oil and a hydrating hand cream daily.
