Aesthetic Summer Nails Are All Over the Place

Aesthetic summer nails aren't about sticking to one design, but rather, combining all of them together. The best part about this manicure trend is you can completely customize it to fit your personal style, whether that's sticking to a strict color scheme for all five designs or just going with whatever combination feels right in the moment. And while you won't have to decide between your favorite nail art designs when doing this manicure, you do need to know how to do each individual design. Alternatively, you can just mix and match press-on nail sets from top nail art salons such as Chillhouse or LA's Color Camp.

"For a minimal take on the trend, keep the colors mismatched, but pair it with some negative space," advises Molly Romah, Lead Nail Tech at Chillhouse in New York City. Case in point: nail artist Amy Lee's all-in-one manicure.

"It is like artwork!" says Romah. With daisies, cherries, and tortoise shell print, nail artist Hang Hguyen's manicure combines all of this summer's nail art trends.

Inspired by How Bout Nailz, LA manicurist Chaun P. turned Kylie Jenner's nails into a work of abstract art.

You don't need intricate patterns to nail this trend. Take Nail'd It by Alyssa's simple lines and bright colors as your example. When picking out patterns, Romah says to keep the contrast of the colors you're using in mind.

"You usually want a high contrast between text and its background color," she explains. "Although, too high contrast between design elements might give an unsettled and messy impression. Keep in mind black and white create the highest contrast possible."

Instead of using the same colors on both hands, Iman Gabrielle uses a different shade and pattern for her nail tips.
