The 20 Best Summer Nail Ideas for Your Vacation Mood Board
Now that the gloominess of the winter season has finally passed, there are a few moments we can look forward to this summer. Rooftops, happy hours, beach vacations, and, best of all, trading in your minimalist manicures for vibrant, colorful designs to match all of your OOO outings. In keeping with the experimental theme of this year's top makeup trends, there's been a huge emphasis on bold colors and playful techniques for nail designs. This season, prints and textures rule as we lean into the lively spirit of the summer while popular trends from previous seasons evolve into fresher, more unique styles. As the temperature rises, the season offers an exciting chance to explore an array of vivid nail colors we'd usually shy away from during other seasons. But with so many options to choose from, it can be overwhelming to choose just one style to last you until your next nail appointment. So, to make the process a bit easier for you, we scoured the internet to find 20 of the most exciting and fun nail designs to try this summer. See our selections below. When you think of summer, the first image that comes to mind is the beach. Well, why not always have a little piece of the beach with you? This manicure features a starfish, sandy accents, and ocean blue hues that feel like a mini getaway. If you find it difficult to move away from natural nail colors, a good way to add a bit of intrigue is with 3D appliqués. Use a neutral base color and colorful florals to draw some extra attention to your nails. Walking into a nail salon and trying to decide what color or design to get for your manicure can be overwhelming. With so many options, it's hard to choose just one. But what if you didn't have to? This manicure is proof that combining all of the hottest nail trends into one manicure can create a masterpiece. It has a mix of all of the designs we know and love, from French tips and chrome lines to patterns and stripes. It's official: Another summer has come, and the strawberry girl trend continues to evolve. This simple and chic interpretation of strawberry nails takes a classic natural nail color to the next level. Small 3D red berries add a pop of color, while the other nails are designed to mimic the texture of the fruit with gold specs for an extra sparkle. If you consider yourself a bit of a maximalist, then this manicure is perfect for you. The 3D stripes and polka dots bring this intricate color block manicure to life for a unique and playful look for the summer. This manicure is exactly what I imagine a mermaid's nails would look like, and that is reason enough to add it to your mood board. The shimmering aqua shade resembles the glimmer of clear water washing up on the shore of a tropical beach. Prints are having a major moment this summer, and leopard print, in particular, is at the top of everyone's list. From clothing to accessories and now to your manicure, this leopard print French manicure is a great way to dress up your French tips and try out a new style. A simple all-white manicure is a go-to color for the summertime. An easy way to jazz up this classic style is to add a bit of texture with builder gel, and finishing with another coat of polish. This mani demonstrates how you can keep the simplicity of the neutral tone, but your nails will be far from boring. Glazed nails have been one of the most popular nail trends for the past few seasons. This summer, the trend is evolving. Instead of using a solid color as the base of your chrome, opt for a colorful French design and follow up with a shimmery chrome to complete the manicure. If you can't seem to escape the hold of dark nail polish, we're happy to tell you that there are many ways to incorporate darker shades into your summer manicures. This manicure uses colorful tropical flowers to brighten up a black French manicure. This manicure captures the essence of the summer season with vibrant shades of yellow and orange and hints of a calming blue shade airbrushed onto a neutral base. Topped with golden accents and water droplet designs, this is the manicure you need to prep for your vacation. Once the weather permits, the first place I hope to be is by a pool. Laying out poolside all day is a prime summer experience, and as much as we wish it could last forever, it can't. But luckily, with a manicure like this, you can take the poolside vibe with you wherever you go. Use an iridescent blue shade with a matte top coat, then use clear builder gel to get a raindrop design. Even though many may think that pastel tones are reserved for the spring, adding some lighter shades to your nails can help create a bit of depth when layered on top of deeper, contrasting colors. Don't hurt your eyes trying to catch a glimpse of the summer sun—just get your nails done instead. This yellow airbrush design utilizes the popular aura nail trend to bring a bit of sunshine to your next nail set. If you are looking for something cute and sweet, this manicure delivers. The cherry girl trend has been floating around TikTok for a while now, depicting deep cherry red tones and sultry romantic vibes that carry you through the cooler months. But now that warm weather is upon us, the cherry trend has taken on a new form. Cherry designs add an adorable pop of color to any manicure. This baby blue shade is the perfect base for adding tiny red rhinestones and thin green lines to mimic the fruit. If you are looking for a unique way to add florals to your manicure, this orchid design is exactly what you should show your nail technician. This design gives you all of the floral feels without being too on the nose for a manicure you'll want to keep forever. It is clear that chrome is quickly becoming a staple for cool girl manicures. While the trend has gone through many phases over the years, this season, the best way to incorporate chrome is through simple accents like the 3D stripes that resemble metal bars. Try either a color blocking or gradient design as the base to make the manicure a bit more interesting. If you're looking for a manicure to heat up your summer, this orange and yellow airbrushed design mimics the sun's rays. By now, I think we've reached the conclusion that French tips aren't going anywhere any time soon. So why not have a bit of fun with them? Swapping out the classic white for vibrant colors is an easy way to update the style. Adding texture is a fool-proof way to make any manicure more exciting and intricate. The 3D dots are a simple design that instantly elevates your nails to the next level.

The Best Ways to Style a Layered Bob With Bangs for Summer
Bobs and bangs may be all the rage right now—from choppy bangs to the tousled, French-girl bob—but if you're looking for something that's versatile and relatively low-maintenance, it's time to consider the layered bob with bangs haircut. 'I love a layered bob with bangs,' says Kamila Pruszek, co-owner of Blue Tit Salon in London. 'They suit all face shapes and hair textures.' Bangs can be a little high-maintenance, but Pruszek has this excellent hack: 'You can just wash your bangs daily to keep them looking fresh, no need to wash your whole head. A quick refresh with your fingers or a light blow-dry is usually enough to keep them in shape,' she tells ELLE. As the name suggests, this is essentially a cut that sits above the shoulder, with layers chopped in and accompanying bangs. It can be tailored to your features and preferences; think sideswept or wispy bangs, or a longer lob, if you're not ready for the commitment. 'The bangs add a bold, stylish edge, and when paired with layers, they give the cut so much movement and shape,' says Valentina Ingrosso, senior creative director at Neil Moodie Studio in Spitalfields. 'We're seeing everything from sleek finishes to bouncy blowouts and lived-in natural textures—it's super versatile and totally on-trend.' Both Pruszek and Ingrosso agree that this short haircut with bangs is suitable for all. 'There are different ways to cut this hairstyle for it to suit the different textures of hair and face shapes,' says Ingrosso. She cautions that those with thin hair might experience flicked ends as the bob starts to grow out, so do bear that in mind and ask your hairdresser for styling tips that's tailored to your own hair. Echoes Pruszek: 'It's a great option for curly, wavy, or straight hair. The bangs can help frame the face and bring attention to your eyes, while the layers add volume and movement.'

Cosmo HQ Review: Juicy Couture Just Moi Perfume Review
I truly can't stress this enough: 2000s beauty trends are so back. Every 'new' launch these days looks and feels like an updated take on a product from a decade ago. Whether it's lip glosses that double as bag charms or face masks that remind me of the ones my friends and I used to do at sleepovers while watching Pitch Perfect, everything in the beauty world is in its early aughts era. The latest beauty news that transports me to my middle school years? Juicy Couture's new perfume drop. Yep, you heard it here first, the Juicy Couture with the bedazzled tracksuits (that my mom never let me wear since the word Juicy plastered across my 11-year-old butt wasn't her vibe, which, fair) is back for 2025 with a new fragrance called Just Moi. Juicy Couture's Viva La Juicy perfume has been a staple for over a decade, so it's about time the brand graced us with a new major scent. And while I could talk about my tween years forever, I'm really here to tell you all about Just Moi. I've been secretly testing it all summer, and I have all the exclusive details below. Related: Check out more Cosmo HQ Reviews on beloved beauty brands like Kylie Cosmetics, Clinique, and Dieux. Just Moi smells sweet and nostalgic, while somehow staying grown up. Think: Your childhood sleepovers turned dinner parties with girlfriends, complete with floral tablescapes and homemade fruity desserts. It was also created by two perfumers who are the noses behind some of the most beloved scents from brands like Kayali, Phlur, Amouage, and more. It opens with cacao blossom, magnolia, and plum for a fresh gourmand moment. Then vanilla and cacao are paired with jasmine in the middle notes to amplify that creamy floral scent. And it finishes off with the brand's signature vanilla-ambrox infusion, as well as sandalwood and musk for a skin-like finish that lingers alongside its sweeter and flowery top notes. This scent really blends a bunch of fragrance families, but I'd call it a sweet gourmand, with a touch of florals and warm amber. First off, Juicy really nailed the eponymous French girl vibe they were going for—the bottle looks like it's straight off the shelves of a Parisian boutique. It's super chic and a bit more understated than the Viva La Juicy bottle we know and love. It looks like it was created for everyone who grew up with Juicy Couture, and is now in the world of luxe fragrances. As for the scent itself, it's exactly what you'd expect an adultified Juicy fragrance to smell like. Yes, it's floral and sweet, but not candy-sweet—it leans more into vanilla and amber, which gives it a more elevated and wearable feel, and it also has a subtle muskiness. The staying power is impressive. I spritzed it twice early this morning, and as I started writing this story half a day later, a group of coworkers walked by my desk and complimented the 'delicious fruity smell.' Four women agreeing on a scent and projection? I don't know what other cosign you need. For $105, I think this is definitely worthy of a spot in any gourmand lover's arsenal. The bottle design is super cute, and could stand out among simpler perfume bottles, or blend in with the luxury ones. If you're a floral or sweet gourmand stan (or both), I can totally see this being an everyday scent. It's super wearable, and since it's a pretty complex fragrance, I didn't even feel the need to layer it with other fragrances in my collection. And if you love an iconic perfume, this is definitely a great addition to the scent wardrobe. Jasmine Hyman is the assistant beauty editor at Cosmo, where she writes about all the biggest beauty trends and buzziest drops out there. For this story, she tested the Just Moi fragrance for a month ahead of the launch, wearing it to test out its scent and longevity.
