8 Best Nail Colors to Show Off Your Summer Tan
These nail polish shades pair perfectly with your golden glow.
Whether you've mastered the at-home tan or slathered on the SPF and spent the day in the sun, a tan is a hallmark of the summer season. To enhance that golden glow, pick a nail polish color—think light pastels or bold neons—that will pop against your bronzed skin. Here, discover the top 8 shades to consider for your next manicure.
Cornflower Blue
Because blue and orange are complementary on the color wheel, a blue shade will make your bronzed tan pop. Cabana Boy from Static Nails or the more periwinkle Soul Surfing from Nails Inc. are our favorites.
Hot Pink
A number of neon shades will pop with tanned skin, and you can't go wrong with hot pink. Orly's Put the Top Down captures the summer holiday spirit.
Neon Green
For something a little more outside the box, bright green makes a bold statement. Côte's No. 115 will add some zest to your look.
Lavender
Pastel shades are also great for showing off a deep tan. Butter London's English Lavender or Essie's lilac Baguette Me Not offer a dainty touch.
Opaque White
Just like a white sundress is a perfect summer accompaniment, so is a crisp white manicure. OPI's Alpine Snow may have a wintry name, but the frosty shade is ideal for showing off a summer tan.
Citron Yellow
Channel the summer sunshine and top your tips with a vibrant yellow. The shade Charme from JinSoon is a refreshing lemon-lime.
Baby Pink
Baby pink is a great all-year-round shade that complements any skin tone. Essie's Ballet Slippers is a cult-favorite.
Bright Orange
Bright orange will bring out the warm tones of your summer glow. Sweet & Gracious from Olive & June is a funky tangerine shade.
