Summer Holiday Nails – Look Hot with My Favorites

The Best Summer Holiday Nails

Now summer vacations are here, we can all enjoy long, azure skyed sunny days and hot steamy nights. Beach parties, BBQs, and fun days out with friends – so many ways to enjoy ourselves, and a great excuse (as if we need one) to show off our latest manicure.

There is something pretty boring we need to get out of the way, however, before we can look at these gorgeous nails. If you are jetting off for your holiday, whether taking an internal flight or exploring further afield, it’s worth remembering that nail polish counts as a liquid under the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) rules. If you want to pack your polish to repair any chips that occur, bear this in mind.

Now back to the fun stuff …

Mimicking the dazzling sun, the nail trends this summer are bright and eye-catching. Pair them with a lovely flowing skirt for those super hot summer days – and you’re good to go.

From vibrantly hot yellows to gorgeous cerulean blues and raspberry pinks, my top three favorite polishes sum up the spirit of summer.

1) Golden Rose Nail Polish Set – 10 Summer Colors

Golden Rose Wow! Long Wear Nail Polish Set, Summer Colors

What Makes it Great
This is a well-considered set of 10 summery nail polishes, from the palest pink all the way through to a sunset crimson. It also includes a dazzling silver polish and a hard-wearing top coat. I have used Golden Rose polishes before, and they’ve always been reliable and long-lasting – these lasted over two weeks before any chips appeared, which is great timing for a week’s vacation away.

Where it Could be Improved
Although the carton says they can be used without a base coat, I felt these polishes were more heavy duty for a layer of base coat.

The Final Verdict

If you’re looking for a collection of long-lasting, summer colors for your holiday manicure, this set has a great mix of smooth, durable polishes.

2) ZOYA Nail Polish – Darcy

ZOYA Nail Polish, Darcy, 0.5 Fluid Ounce

What Makes it Great
Okay, for the number two spot this single polish by Zoya is so wonderfully summery, I just had to include it. Vibrant, and eye-catching, with the power to make everyone smile, this gloriously bright sunflower yellow is perfect for any occasion. It was nearly three weeks before I had to remove it due to peeling.

Where it Could be Improved
I had to thin this polish down as it was a little gloopy. A couple of drops of acetone soon created the perfect consistency.

Eye-catching, fun-loving and dazzlingly bright - this polish should be in every summer manicure kit

3) Modelones Gel Nail Polish Set – 7 Colors

Modelones Gel Nail Polish Set - 7 Color Gel Nail Polish 6ml Mini Size, Candy Summer Series Nail Art Boxes UV LED Soak Off Gel Nail Varnish Starter Manicure set.

What Makes it Great
Consisting of 7 ultra-shiny, summer candy shades, this set of gel polishes includes a fiery orange, hot pink, and a lovely azure blue. There is something here for any occasion, day or night, from poolside to dancing ‘til the sunrise. Easy to apply, my nails remained chip-free for a holiday length two weeks.

Where it Could be Improved
The odor was a little strong with these Modelones polish, but nothing an open window couldn’t fix.
