Nail Trends You Are Going to Love
There’s something about summer that makes us want to refresh everything — our wardrobe, our hair, our skincare… and definitely our nails. Whether you’re spending your days in sandals, typing away at the office, or lounging by the pool with a cold drink in hand, your nails are basically a tiny accessory that goes everywhere with you. So why not make them gorgeous?
This season, it’s all about embracing colour, taking care of your natural nails, and having fun with looks that feel fresh and effortless. And honestly — nobody does this better than Mavala.
Our colours, treatments, and topcoats are truly beautiful — they deliver salon quality results at home, without any of the hassle or damage.
We had a look at the latest trends, and here’s what’s hot, happening, and absolutely worth trying this summer.
1. The Less is More Look: Clean, Glossy, Gorgeous
There’s a big shift toward natural looking nails that still feel incredibly polished. Think subtle shine, smooth surfaces, soft tones — the kind of manicure that makes people think, “Wow, her nails always look good,” even though you didn’t spend an hour on them.
The secret? A good base, a flattering nude, and a glossy finish.
Your Prep Dream Team
MAVALA 002 Protective Base Coat
This base coat is loved for a reason — it smooths, protects, and gets your nails ready for colour so beautifully.
MAVALA Gel Finish Top Coat
This gives you that gel like, glassy shine without curing lamps or thick layers.
Soft Nude Shades That Go with Everything
These nudes give such an elegant, elongated look — no effort, just timeless beauty.
2. The Perfect Nude for You Moment
Gone are the days when one beige suited everyone. Today’s nudes celebrate real skin — cool tones, warm tones, deep tones, rosy undertones, you name it. A nude that matches your skin makes your hands look instantly polished.
Some Beautifully Curated Nude Tones
Warm, cool, soft, deep — there’s truly something for everyone.
3. Milky and Rosewater Nails: Soft, Sheer, Heavenly
This trend is for people who love a manicure that looks clean, gentle and almost angelic. Milky nails give that dreamy, soft focus effect. Rosewater shades add just a touch of colour while keeping things delicate.
Shades with That Dreamy Vibe
These are especially beautiful with a summer tan or on toes in open sandals.
4. Polka Dots, but Make It Chic
Polka dot nails are back, but not in the loud, cartoonish way we remember. We’re seeing tiny, minimalist dots — almost like jewellery for your nails.
The best part? It’s such an easy DIY trend. A bobby pin and two colours are all you need.
5. Neons and Bright Pops: Colour That Makes You Smile
If you’re someone who loves bold colour, this is your season.
Neons are shining everywhere: aqua blues, hot pinks, bright yellows, electric oranges.
They’re fun, lively and they instantly lift your mood.
Our Favourite Summer Brights
These colours shine on holiday, by the pool, or during festive weekends.
6. Short Almond and Medium Coffin: Shapes That Make Sense
This season is really practical but still stylish. Short nails are making a comeback — they’re easy to maintain, they don’t snag, and they look incredibly classy when shaped right.
- Almond keeps everything soft and feminine
- Medium coffin gives a more fashion forward, sculpted look
Both work beautifully with the season’s minimal meets modern aesthetic.
7. Citrus Burst: The Juice Your Nails Need
There’s something about citrus colours that just says “summer”. From energising yellows to bright tangerines and soft corals, these shades feel cheerful and uplifting.
Bring the Sunshine to Your Nails
Bold enough to make a statement, but warm enough to stay wearable.
The Final Touch: Seal the Deal
Once you pick your shade, the top coat you choose makes all the difference.
Gel Shine or Fast Dry? Take your pick.
Mavadry is perfect for those days when you literally can’t sit still for polish to dry (which, honestly, is most days)
The Gel Finish Top Coat gives you that thick, almost cushiony shine.
