We’re now in summer’s descent. It’s hot, lush and the sunlight is extra golden, especially in the evenings.

The last month of summer is for soaking in the last pool days, beach days, and road trips before you embrace back to school season and everything autumn.

To encapsulate the essence of the end of summer on the nails, we grab some of the warmth, brightness and fun of summer, while edging into the deeper colors of fall.

Below you’ll see 4 manicures representing late summer in our eyes:

Different Dimension Sky Above, Earth Below

Shown in 2 coats, Sky Above, Earth Below is from August 2021’s Polish Pick Up and it’s a teal with gold glitter that glows in the dark. The glow is especially bright after being charged with a UV flashlight (shown above).

Salon Perfect Flamingo Flair with Holo Taco Lunar Unicorn Skin

Harry Styles wore Flamingo Flair in the Watermelon Sugar Music Video. 

Both the video and the polish emit summertime energy, and here, Flamingo Flair, this neon coral pink cream is topped with 1 coat of Holo Taco Lunar Unicorn Skin.

The Lunar Unicorn Skin is a topper with a yellow, green, pink and purple iridescence. This pairing is like a beach day on the nails.
