All images are featured in a white marble-like template, with pink and red nail polish spills.

From lounging poolside in the South of France to attending weddings and garden BBQs, our team's August nails cover every summer setting and occasion - so you're sure to find some inspiration in their colour and design picks.

With so many stylish looks topping the list of 2025 nail trends, choosing just one manicure for your next appointment or at-home treatment is no easy task. Especially if you're deciding on your holiday nail look, or are considering this to be your last set of summer 2025 nails (we hate to admit it, but cosy autumn hues are beginning to call to us too). Over the last few months, we've seen everything from juicy sorbet nails to creamy, dessert-inspired neutrals, like OPI's Tiramisu for Two, garner attention, so it's safe to say there's something to suit every preference.
