Top 10 nail trends for summer 2023

Summer 2022 in the nail styling industry was very fruitful in multi-coloured decorations and interesting trends. Fanciful patterns were strongly emphasised by vivid colours, glitters and ornaments. You could say that madness played first fiddle back then, letting many fans of original styling express themselves and their way of life. But will 2023 and the coming summer show us their glamour, or will this year become the antagonist of last year's friend? Let's take a closer look.

This part of the season will certainly surprise us with its variety. This year, colour shades in a somewhat more conservative tone will reign, and the main current technicians will follow is classic and minimalism. But does such caution affect the styling result? Of course not!
Despite its conventional approach to fashion, including nail patterns, summer 2023 will be extraordinarily groundbreaking and creative at the same time! In 2023, nails will be painted with polishes in milky and powdery shades, covered with fairly subtle patterns and sparingly decorated with crystals or gold or silver ornamentation. The manicure will be dominated by the minimalism and elegance mentioned earlier, which by no means rules out summer, holiday madness.

Short or long nails in 2023?

Trends suggest growing the nail plate to a medium length, although most styling will also suit short nails. This year the fashionable shape will be an almond or a square with rounded edges. It's important that the natural nail plate and its surroundings look perfect. If we do the manicure ourselves, we should increase the time spent on nail care. Regularly massaging Glow Touch oil into the nails and their surroundings (especially at the matrix) will significantly improve the condition of the nails, and the perfect complement will be supplements containing, among others, field horsetail.

The latest nail styling trends in 2023 focus on subtle decorations, muted colours and an elegant look. One of the main advantages of this season's most popular manicures is their versatility, suiting practically any occasion and outfit.

Here are a few ideas that will surely dominate the summer season of 2023!

1. Classic french manicure

The french manicure, a popular nail decoration style, still holds its popularity and position in the world of manicure. Alongside subtle "milky nails", this classic style delights minimalists who value simplicity and elegance. In 2023 the french manicure stands out with a narrow edge in white or black, adding a one-of-a-kind look. It looks best on short or medium nails in a square shape with gently rounded edges.
This elegant style is a guarantee of beautiful nails that will be on-trend in 2023!

What will surely help you achieve the perfect french?

The 5-in-1 bit is a versatile tool that lets you perform many nail styling tasks. Remember, though, to be careful and know how to handle the bit to ensure safe and effective results! It's useful for the initial working of the cuticles around the nail. It easily and effectively removes old styling from the nails. It allows precise work on the gel and smoothing of any unevenness; additionally, you can use it to safely and evenly shorten the nails, achieving the desired effect.

2. Chrome nails

If you want to avoid glitter but still want shiny nails, a "chrome" style manicure can be a perfect alternative. This nail decoration trend, popular on social media, looks great on nails of various lengths. The silver version looks refined, especially in light shades of silver or platinum that add a touch of subtlety. If you have long nails, chrome decoration in neutral tones, such as beiges fading into browns, will look beautiful. It's important, however, to avoid intense colours, especially pink and purple, which can seem less elegant and emphasise redness of the skin on the hands. "Chrome" style nails add sophistication and delight with a shine that radiates from every movement.

- Vanilla Chrome manicure

The vanilla chrome manicure, which shimmers in the sun and has a pearly sheen, will be one of the most popular trends in summer 2023. This holiday style is another take on the popular glazed donut manicure. Shiny, metallic nail shades are still on top.

It's the perfect manicure for various occasions, and in the light it shimmers with a silvery glow.

3. Metallic accents

In 2023, nails with metallic accents will also be popular. Adding a subtle shine to a classic manicure can give it a modern and luxurious look. Metallic decorations can be placed on individual nails or used as subtle accents across the whole nail plate. Silver, gold, copper or chrome shades go perfectly with various stylings and are a great choice for evening outings or special occasions.

4. Floral decorations

Delicate nail decorations with dried flowers are a minimalist and original option for lovers of romantic styling. Floral patterns on nails add joy and a summer atmosphere. They can be done in various styles, from delicate sketches to colourful illustrations. Subtle white flowers on a transparent background give a fresh, summery look. You can also try colourful flowers on a solid background, e.g. light pink nails with intense colours. Floral patterns inspired by embroidery are popular thanks to the vintage style that still attracts attention. They create charming and romantic nail styling, like the hairstyles of icons of past decades.

5. Glitter

Glitter manicure is currently a fashionable trend. Using glitter polish, we can achieve a shimmering effect on the nails, adding a special charm. It's a perfect solution for short and medium nails. Silver glitter is the most popular choice – universal and suiting various stylings. Additionally, it doesn't emphasise redness of the skin on the hands. This manicure adds shine and elegance, perfect for everyday wear or special occasions, giving your look a dose of luxury.

6. Dots

In 2023, simple nail patterns such as dots will dominate the world of manicure. For minimalists and those who prefer subtle decorations, a manicure with single dots will be the perfect choice. This simple pattern adds elegance and modernity to the nails.
To achieve an eye-catching dotted manicure, you can first paint the nails with a beige polish or use the popular milky nails – delicate, milky-white nails. On this neutral base, single dots will look exceptionally subtle while still adding a touch of pattern. We especially recommend the dotted manicure for those with short nails, as the simple pattern goes perfectly with their shorter plates. However, this styling also looks lovely on medium-length nails.

7. Clean Nails

This summer's trend will be clean nails with a healthy look. Just like hair care, we now also take care of the health and perfection of our nails. We can expect minimalist manicures to be everywhere, emphasising the natural beauty of the nails. In this trend, shades like powder and light pink are ideal for creating a minimalist effect. These delicate colours not only hide any nail imperfections but also strengthen the plate, giving it a healthy look.
Clean nails are universal and suit any occasion. They can be a perfect choice for both an everyday look and more formal events. Additionally, maintaining a healthy and clean manicure is easy to care for, as it doesn't require too many decorations or upkeep.

8. Flames

In 2023, the trend of nail decorations depicting flames returns. This time we're choosing a more restrained and elegant version. Outlines of flames painted in a single colour will look best on longer nails.

9. Crystals

Nail plates decorated with pearls or crystals. We especially recommend this kind of styling for special occasions, such as a bridal manicure. Modern brides will certainly love their original nail LOOK!

What do you think will reign in the summer season of 2023?
