For anyone wondering about this summer’s nail trends, extravagance is totally in. We are seeing it in 3D this summer. Both talented nail technicians and satisfied customers are showcasing their 3D nail art across platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Pinterest. If you want to hop on the trend, we are here to help! Our overview of the most popular 3D summer nail designs will leave you running to your local nail salon.
Fruit Nails

While fruit nails have been trending for a while, this 3D addition truly makes them pop. Our favorite, of course, must be the orange slices; they are the perfect bright citrus to use as summer nail inspiration. Imagine spending your European summer in Italy, drinking an Aperol Spritz with your 3D orange nails. As Paris Hilton would say, “That’s hot.” The 3D fruit is not limited to oranges, however. Other trending designs include strawberries, lemons, and a mix of the whole fruit bowl!
Beach Nails

We think Aquamarine would be jealous of these beach-inspired sets. If your style is giving mermaid this summer, you need nails to match! Textured shells, fun starfish, and shimmering waters are most common within the beach nail designs. Little pearls add a cute touch, especially at the bottoms of the shells! They are the best choice for a beach day, but we won’t judge you for wearing them literally everywhere.
Flower Nails

Florals will always be fashionable, but they can be a little overdone. This 3D addition gives a fun twist to a classic. There are plenty of ways to spin this look. Our favorites include bright colors and hibiscus flowers. These would be a perfect addition to any tropical vacation (or a way to make you feel like you're on one). If bright colors aren’t your style, these 3D florals also look great in neutrals and jewel tones.
Do not be afraid to be bold this summer. If you are ready to ditch your French manicure, these 3D options are a fun alternative! For those located in Orange County, California, you can turn your 3D nail fantasies into a reality by booking an appointment with @chibimoon.nails.
