Summer Nail Trends: Soft Hues, Natural Styles Dominate

This summer's manicure trends are embracing a softer, more natural aesthetic, moving away from the extreme lengths and bold statements of previous seasons. Giedrė Kunej, founder and master technician at "Kunej Beauty Boutique," highlights a shift towards elegance and understated beauty.

Soft, milky shades are very fashionable this season.

"Soft, milky shades are very fashionable this season," Kunej explains. "While our summer collection is quite bright and colorful, the colors themselves are muted." This suggests a preference for sophisticated pastels and desaturated brights over neon or overly saturated hues. The trend towards naturalness and simplicity is palpable, with women increasingly opting for shorter, neater, and more aesthetically pleasing manicures.

The trend is that women are choosing shorter, neater, more aesthetic manicures and designs.

"Cat eye" designs and subtle, non-ostentatious patterns are also making a significant impact. The era of extremely long nails appears to be waning, replaced by a desire for a more natural length that complements a woman's elegance. "A manicure that looks luxurious and aesthetic, reflecting a woman's elegance like an accessory, rather than shouting from afar," is the current ideal, according to Kunej.

She also confirms the rise of the "manicure without a manicure" trend, exemplified by Japanese manicures. This technique involves polishing and enriching the natural nail plate with special minerals, enhancing its inherent beauty. Kunej advises trusting one's nail technician, as they can assess individual nail plates to recommend the most suitable length, shape, and material, whether it be gel polish or another treatment. "The result might not be satisfactory if a woman brings a picture from Pinterest and wants nails that don't suit her nail plate," she cautions, emphasizing the importance of personalized care.

It's true that a manicure without a manicure is stylish.
