Summer 2025 Nail Colors: Top and Trending Shades You Need

Summer 2025 is heating up — and so are nail color trends! From vibrant tropical tones to soft sorbet-inspired shades, this season’s must-have gel polish colors are all about expressing your vibe, turning heads, and embracing the sunshine. Whether you're a nail tech prepping for the busiest season of the year or a beauty lover curating your next set, here’s your ultimate guide to this summer’s trending nail colors.

1. Peach Fuzz – Pantone's Color of the Year

The iconic color of 2025 is here to dominate your summer sets. Peach Fuzz is a dreamy, sunlit orange with a pastel softness that complements every skin tone. It radiates warmth and looks especially stunning in ombré blends or minimalist nail art.

2. Sun-Kissed Yellow

What says summer more than a bold burst of yellow? Think lemonade, beach towels, and glowing sunshine. This hue brings energy and joy to your nails. Try it glossy for a classic look, or add gold foil for luxe, radiant vibes.

3. Hot Coral Heatwave

Equal parts fiery and fun, hot coral strikes the perfect balance between red and pink. This power shade pops on tan skin and pairs beautifully with floral accents. Whether you go full set or a statement nail, hot coral is pure summer heat.

4. Tropical Teal

Channel the beach with a cool teal shade that reminds you of ocean waves and poolside lounging. This refreshing color is bold but wearable — perfect for those craving color without going neon.

5. Matcha Mint

Green gets a seasonal twist with this lighter, cooler matcha-mint hybrid. It’s soft, calming, and oh-so-pretty in French tips or marble nail art. Ideal for clients who want a clean, refreshing look.

6. Electric Pink

Vibrant, unapologetic, and impossible to ignore — electric pink is the go-to for the bold and trendy. Whether you’re heading to a summer festival or beach party, this shade brings instant fun to any outfit.

7. Icy Chrome & Glazed Finishes

Summer isn’t just about color — it’s about the glow. Chrome and pearl-glazed finishes continue to be in style, especially in pastel or metallic tones. Layer these over your favorite colors for a high-shine, futuristic effect.

Salon Tips for Summer Success:

• Display color palettes with seasonal names (e.g., "Tropical Sunset," "Poolside Bliss").

• Upsell chrome/glaze top coats for added style.

• Offer sample designs that mix brights with neutrals — versatility is key!

For Nail Enthusiasts:

• Mix & match trending shades for a multi-colored manicure.

• Embrace short squoval or almond shapes for a chic summer vibe.

• Don’t forget SPF — your hands need love too!
