En lugar de “Uñas de Donut Glaseado”, la gente ahora está pidiendo “Uñas de Sandía” para el verano.

Warm weather has finally arrived, and I’m on the lookout for summer nail trends to get some inspiration for my next manicure. Summer is the ideal time to experiment with bright nail colours and summer nail art, and with sandal season now here, I’m ready for 2024 pedicure trends too.

Whilst chrome “glazed donut” nails and the “strawberry girl” aesthetic dominated last summer, this year, there’s a new foodie-inspired nail trend that’s been trickling into our Instagram feeds and For You pages, and that’s watermelon nails.

Watermelon nails are the ideal summer nail design as they provide endless inspiration. You could go for tiny nail art watermelon slices all over a bare nail (so cute) or have a watermelon slice as a colourful French tip. Many of the designs I’ve seen combine watermelon pink and green colours into an ombré design (complete with watermelon seeds), and I’ve lost count of the number of watermelon jelly nail designs I’ve spotted. However, a simple coat of a pinky-red watermelon hue looks great as a block colour all over the nail if you prefer something more simple. They look great if you’re headed on holiday, to a festival or just want to give your summer manicure a juicy update.
