Nail art ideas and tips for summer 2014

The summer is nearly here, so it is time to prepare your nails for the hot season. Neon colors and fruity motives are trendy again, just like the last two years. You can choose between cute strawberries manicure and a cool neon ombre design, but you won’t make a mistake even if you go with the classic navy motives.

Prepare your nails for the summer manicure

With a cotton swab apply nail polish remover on and under the nails to remove any dirt from them. Avoid the acetone nail polish remover. After that apply an olive oil on the skin around the nails and carefully massage the fingers. This will soften the skin and make the nails shiny.

Choose the right colors

The colors must represent the season and your character, so choose wisely. This summer you can pick between orange, yellow, turquoise, candy pink, nautical blue, tomato red and all neon hues. Don’t be afraid to experiment and be more creative and brave when choosing the colors.

Find the perfect design for you

There are many cool designs and styles, but you have to choose the right for you. Spend some time on this step, because the design that you will pick, must be easily combined with the clothes and accessories that you have. Also, it must go perfectly with your makeup style.

Try to do it yourself

Don’t be afraid to try to do the manicure by yourself. If you are not happy with the final result, you can always try again. If you need some tips for the technique, you can search on YouTube for some “How to” videos.
