So, this article is to make that easier for you and make sure you wear the trending nail colors for the season. After doing some research and going through all the top nail polish brands, I’ve compiled the ten best summer nail colors to flaunt on your nails this season!

Best Summer Nail Colors for 2018
From classic red to metallic copper, discover the latest trends in natural, gel and acrylic nail colors!
1. White
Nothing looks better than white nails on sun-kissed tan skin! It’s a great way to keep things neutral without opting for same old, boring black. Shades of white nail paint with a hint of shimmer or a pearlescent finish are popular nail colors for summer. Paint them on your fingers and toes this summer and look beach-ready!
2. Pale Pink
Subtle, sophisticated and a great alternative to nude color nails, pale pinks are the perfect everyday summer nail colors! The top pale pink nail polish shades for this season are blush pink, nude pink and cotton candy pink. These light pink nails would also be lovely for the workplace and on brides on their big day.
3. Holographic
If you’re a lover of iridescent, colorful nails, you’re gonna be happy to know that holographic nail polish is one of the top summer nail colors for 2018! This popular trend in makeup has made its way to nails as well and I’m in love! They pick up on different colors depending on the light available and can be seen brightly from afar, making it the best nail color for photo shoots!

A classic red never goes out of style. Be it on the outfit, lips or nails, a bright cherry red is a timeless color. Perfect for parties, evening dates and night-outs, this classy red nail polish shade will not disappoint!
8. Gold
Another one of this season’s must-have metallic nail polish is gold. Between speckled gold and matte gold nail polish, there are plenty of options to choose from. Gold color nails also work well with almost all color outfits, giving neutral nail colors a run for their money! You can also combine it with white nail paint for fun, summery nail art.
9. Peach
Soft, subtle and easy to wear, peach is a color that would suit all skin tones and occasions. If you find nudes to be a bit tired and boring, here’s your perfect everyday nail polish color!
