Solid color design
This summer, single-color gel polish can be designed in any shade that will harmoniously complement your look. Both delicate and light and bright and catchy colors of coatings are in fashion. The main rule is to emphasize the natural beauty of the nail plate, and in this case you should take into account not only the length, but also the width of the nail. Light palettes have the ability to slightly expand the nail. Dark gel polishes will make long nails more expressive, and wide ones visually narrower. If a single-color coating seems too simple for you, you can always refresh your manicure with rhinestones, shiny stripes or an original summer-themed design.
Abstraction
Complex and sometimes intricate designs presented in the trendy “abstraction” nail design will become a real summer hit. A complex combined “abstraction” print on nails this summer will look delicate if you use stretched colors and “negative space”, complementing the design with graphic motifs with flowers, twigs, splashes and strokes.
