June is right around the corner, bringing with it warmer weather (finally!), sunshine and flowers! With that said, it’s time to start thinking about your monthly manicure. That’s why we wanted to round up our favourite June nails to give you the best inspiration!
Whether I’m going to a salon or doing them myself, it’s so fun to get some new ideas! That’s why I wanted to put together a collection of my favourite designs, so you can figure out what style you want to try! If you love doing a monthly mani, June has so many gorgeous designs to choose from.
June is the start of summer, and your nails should reflect that! It’s the perfect month to try out some of those brighter shades, neon tones and wild designs! Now is the time to break out all those colors you’ve been saving up for those sunnier days.
Our favourite June Shades
First, we wanted to round up our top trending shades for June! There are so many colors we keep seeing over and over again that are going to be popular all summer long.
1) Orange
Expect orange to be everywhere this summer! It’s such a fun shade that really only comes out in the warmer months or at Halloween! There’s so much you can do with orange like a French tip, a fun swirl or if you’re really brave, try out neon (check out the designs below to get inspiration)!
We’ve been loving expreessie (not sponsored) because it’s fast drying. It dries in about a minute which is awesome! We all know the struggle of doing our nails perfectly then having them smudge. Check out this line of polish for your next at home manicure!
2) Aqua Blue
Aqua is such a stunning, rich color and June is the perfect time to try it out! Blue is trendy all year round, but once summer hits its time to break out those brighter colors that really pop!
Products we recommend
To achieve some of these styles below, we recommend using some products that will make it a lot easier to achieve the result you want. If you’re wanting to try out matte march nails at home, we recommend getting this matte nail polish:
It easily turns any nails matte. Play around with it! Any design can be mattified. To be able to hand draw on bows or other small details like swirls, we recommend these nail art brushes. They are incredibly fine, and help draw out really intricate details:
1) Gold Flecks by Paulina
If you’re looking to slowly ease out of spring, this design by Paulina is a stunner! I love using more blue tones as the weather gets warmer and this shade reminds me of blue skies! The gold flecks really pop and make this a stunning choice.
