From eye-catching prints and patterns to bold colors, summer nail trends are always fun to show off. And according to Jin Soon Choi, famed nail artist and founder of JINsoon nail spas, we’ll see one overarching trend for summer 2024.
“Jelly nail trends are really taking off for the summer of 2024,” says Choi. She speaks to the versatility of jellies, adding that they can be bright, neutral, or pastel. “The recent Met Gala showcased numerous stunning jelly nail looks, and I had the privilege of creating three out of four of them.” She notes that the Michael Kors and Brandon Maxwell Spring/Summer 2024 fashion shows also featured jelly-like looks.
Ahead, take a closer look at what we predict will be the biggest nail trends of summer 2024, and shop the products that will help you get the looks yourself.
If Choi has to pick one jelly shade in particular, it’s Crush, a sheer red-orange she used for the Brandon Maxwell Spring/Summer ’24 runway. “It’s ideal for both nails and toes, infusing them with a lively vibrancy that perfectly embodies the essence of the season,” she says. “Moreover, incorporating dreamy pastel jelly colors can create a soft, cool aesthetic, providing a delightful departure from conventional sheer nail shades.”
