The 3 big nail trends for spring/summer 2021

With SS21 upon us, we share the top three trends set to storm the nail world this season…

1. Petal Power

Flower power is back! Pastel pops of pink, blue and lilac will be a staple this season. To complement these floral hues, be diverse in your nail designs.

“One trend I am sure will catch on this season is the sorbet colour palette,” reveals Sadie Jordan, The GelBottle Inc (TGB) nail expert.

“Think sweet pastel neons, and anything bright and refreshing like a sorbet! I am expecting to see lots of animal print nail art, but in a range of playful colour combinations.”

2. The New Neutral

Offer a neutral palette of nail tones for nailists seeking a minimalist mani. Think warm beige, soft taupe and crisp white, matched with stone grey, rich leather brown and deep black. For a gilded touch, consider adding contrast with metallic nail art details.

“Nude nail tones are timeless, regardless of season and year. For that reason, keep your nudes close,” smiles Jade Taylor, marketing manager at Naio Nails. “Opt for sheer nudes or find a shade that matches the natural variation of your client’s nail colour.”

“I think we’ll see square nails in both short and long lengths, as well as round and almond nails,” shares Deanna White of en Vogue Nails.

3. Sunset shades

Burn bright with bold reds, burning oranges and sandy yellows, as these hot shades are set to transport clients to the warmer climes of the desert. Bring sunshine to nails and embrace the essence of golden hour.

“70s style interiors and fashions are making a comeback, so why not bring this to nail art too?” enthuses Jaz Moger, Salon System nail expert & owner of Paint by Jaz. “Go bright and bold or keep it more muted. Think browns, mustard yellows, pinks, oranges and whites.”
