I’m just a girl who loves summer—beach days, road trips, and late-night dinners included. I also love the beauty aesthetic of summer. Think sun-kissed skin and salty hair punctuated by bright makeup and nail colors. Baby-pink blush? Yes. Bold lipstick? Sure. Colorful nail polish? Most definitely.

The latter is what I’m most excited about. I spent all fall and winter wearing either soft neutrals or dark and intense shades of nail polish. Come spring, I switched to powdery pastels. Now that it’s finally summer, I’m yearning for the brightest possible shades I can find. I’m talking about bold marine blue, sun-kissed gold, palm leaf green, and sunburnt peach (among others). You know, the perfect-for-summer nail colors that elevate my mood and accentuate the warm-weather vibes. Ahead, see the eight nail colors I’m wearing on repeat.
