1. bold and muted colours
this summer, be ready for punchy bold colors and muted earth tones! our faves include expressie taxi hopping and mid-day mocha. essie gel couture sit me in the front row paired with expressie in a flash sale is sure to be a winning mani-pedi combo!

2. pattern perfection
taking the mismatched mani to the next level, this bold nail art look plays with patterns, decals and textures for a mani that proves more is more! the look is inspired by the early 2000's aesthetic of pairing fun graphics with whimsical patterns.

3. graphic swirls
this look is very popular amongst nail art enthusiasts. it's easy to DIY, looks great on every nail length and only requires one colour -it's no wonder that the look is trending. check out our quick tutorial here.

4. multi-coloured manis
use colours that vary in vibrancy and depth. choose coordinating colours from the following categories: pastel, deep, vibrant. when choosing the order, make sure to place colours with similar depths beside one another in order. break up the order by polishing pastels beside darks to prevent the look from becoming an ombre mani.
