Summer carries with it a fun and carefree vibe. For this very reason, it’s the perfect time to try out new things — like summer-themed nail art! Nantucket Gate Blog invites you to have some fun embracing your inner artist and trying out different nail art ideas to keep the vibe of the season going strong before it comes to a close. Invite some friends over to your apartment and put your nail art skills to the test. 

Crab Print and Nautical Mix  

This fun beach themed idea comes from Chalkboard Nails. With a steady hand and a little creativity, your nails will be ready for any summer party. We love the anchor themed accent nail. 

Watermelon Nails 

The Nailasaurus shows you how to transform your nails into miniature watermelon slices. Impress your friends with this adorable look that is sure to make your hands stand out.

Under The Sea 

This fun idea comes from Make Nail Art. Start by painting your nails blue like the ocean and then stamping or painting on images of things you might find in the sea, such as seashells, seaweed, or fish. 

Cactus Nail Art

Try adorning your nails with these adorable mini cacti! Paint your nails white first and let them dry. Then, use green nail polish and a skinny paintbrush to make the cacti. Use red or pink nail polish to add the flowers onto the cacti. Once everything is dry, finish with a clear top coat. 

Rainbow Blur

You'll need a super-skinny, flat nail art brush to achieve this rainbow blur — moving the brush horizontally across the nail pushes two nail polish hues into each other, blending them seamlessly. Before you get started, watch the video tutorial to see how it’s done.
