2023 Summer nail trends


Nail care is an important aspect of completing a fashion look. Our hands are one of the most visible parts of our body, and well-groomed nails can add a finishing touch to an outfit. Neglected or unkempt nails can detract from an otherwise stylish and put-together look.

Iridescent-Chrome nail trends

Iridescent-chrome nails, also known as glazed donut nails, or for those who follow beauty trends on Instagram, Haily Bieber nails; of all the summer nail trends, this one should be your choice. Perfect style for your off-to-work look, or for a day out at the beach, this look is subtle and mesmerizing for all the right reasons. This look was seen on the runways of Victor Glemaud and Christian Cowan among others, and also sparkled at the Oscars this year!

First step to get the look is to use opaque and sheer base shades topped with light shade of your choice. Then top it up with dip powder or use shimmery gel to get the perfect chrome look followed by the top coat. To give it a bit more oomph use chrome powder with flashes of pink, blue, and purple. 

Make dip powder your friend this summer because the glazed donut look is not the summer nail trends for which you will be busy dipping!

Milky White nail trends

Similar versions of the glazed donut look are the milky white and ombre nails. For the milky white look, you basically use any shade of white (yes, there are a lot more than one!), with the same technique as the Hailey  Bieber nails!  Here are some whites to choose from:

Milky Ombre

Furthermore, to get the milky ombre nails, color gradient is used with milky white shade seamlessly blending into the darker color. Pink is going rol be the most trending shade in ombre nails this summer!

Cat-eye nails


Another similar, in fact an upgraded trend, is that of the velvet nails, also known as cat-eye nails. The technique is somewhat similar to the glazed donut nails, but for this specific look magnetic gel polish is used on the top, and then by using the magnet to control the movement of the sparkles, the desired effect is achieved. Tomorrow.events foresees this trend blowing up this summer!

Metallic Chrome nail trends


Chrome isn’t always subtle, and neither does it have to be this summer! Choose from bronze, copper, gold, silver or any bright shiny color because whichever way  you go, you can’t get it wrong! Here’s a tip: use mirror effect gels to accentuate the look.

Metallic Chrome Ombre


This is not the end of chromes!
