I’ve been counting down to summer since the middle of winter and what seemed like a never-ending onslaught of snow. As I enter the long weekend and warmer weather and I can officially see the end of the cold weather tunnel, I am prepping by spending hours on The Real Real for my beach outfits and scrolling IG for my ideal summer manicure.
This week’s best nail looks are all over my summer mani mood board, with vibrant colors and out-of-the-box, abstract designs. There’s a special throwback to my favorite sneakers, and there’s a couple of fish-themed nail designs (stay with me) that are so fun and chic, it makes me think, “Is summer 2026 going to be all about the fish nails?” Don't worry, I’ll be closely watching that space to see if there's a new nail trend percolating.
