Tips for Making Summer Nail Art Last

Sun, sea and sunscreen are all tough on nail art, so seal fruit and floral detail under a glossy top coat and reapply it every few days — sunscreen in particular dulls shine fast. Keep cuticle oil in your beach bag, because salt water and air conditioning dry nails out, and wear gloves for gardening so tiny painted petals do not chip on the very jobs that inspired them.

From one tiny strawberry on a single nail to a full tropical bouquet across all ten, pretty summer nails are really just bottled sunshine. Pick your favourite palette, book the appointment, and let your hands dress for the season too.
