So long milky pastels, sorbet nails are the juicy trend we'll be wearing this summer

In the middle is a hand pictured with sheer pink almond nails, created by nail artist Fliss Alton (@gelsbyfliss), and finally, on the right is a hand with bright red-orange nails created by nail artist, Mateja Novakovic (@matejanova). All featured in an orange to pink gradient, watercolour paint-style template.

After months of sheer and delicate pastels, we're in desperate need of a manicure palate cleanse and what better than a selection of bright and tangy sorbet nails.

As far as the 2025 nail trends are concerned, many spring nail colours, from lavender milk to butter yellow, are still very much in. That said, some brighter and more summery hues are beginning to creep in, many of which are reminiscent of our favourite fruit-flavoured ice dessert - think lemon sherbet and tangy raspberry. These juicy, sorbet-inspired shades are set to dominate the summer nail trends, according to the nail experts and our team of manicure-lovers, and frankly, we can't wait. So, we're not going to.
