Nail that Accent! Summer's Most Irresistible Nail Colors and Trends

Chances are you look at the rows of gorgeous nail polish colors in stores this Summer and you're tempted to wear them all at once.  While I don't recommend doing that, amid the barrage of totally "out-there" nail art are some simple, chic ideas in every imaginable design and color.  Bright colors and sparkly finishes are an accessible form of nail art.  Contrast is the name of the game so mix and match your metallic polish with matte neons and neutral colors. 













Not feeling all the stickers, studs, and stripes?  A simple, more appropriate way to rock the nail art-trend is with just one tip painted a different shade from the rest.  Or try a two tone, reverse French manicure. 

Here's a look at some power couples.  If you're not sure what to pair together, pick two contrasting hues or textures, like coral and green or metallic and opal.







Really embrace Summer and go avant garde with graphic designs and ombre patterns.

My favorite Summertime duo: Glossy, creamy lilac looks playful on toes, while punchy matte coral looks cool on fingers.
