We have a full list of different manicure types to try out on your next vacation. What’s the hold-up, get reading! Also, any of these are perfect as summer nails, we just want to add that before you get started.
Spring Break Nails
Spring break is all about fun, sun, and feeling rejuvenated after a long winter. For this vibrant holiday, embrace pastel shades like soft pinks, mint greens, and baby blues. Add some playful nail art, such as tropical flowers or cute palm tree designs, to capture this exciting getaway’s essence. Whatever dressing you choose, any type of spring nails look will work for spring break.
We don’t know about you, but during spring break, we like to have as much fun as possible before we return to reality, so the shorter the claws are, the better so we are able to maneuver better.
Summer Vacation Nails
Ahhh, the sweet look of summer! As you prepare for your much-awaited summer vacation, opt for bold and bright colors that reflect the sunny vibes of the season. Think vibrant oranges, electric yellows, and vibrant corals. Don’t forget to add geometric patterns to make your nails pop in the summer sun!
For these guys, we like to go for a dip manicure, as they last longer, and you can add any length or type of product over the top of them for whatever summer throws your way.
Beach Vacation Nails
If you’re heading to a beach destination, your nails should channel all things sandy and tropical. Choose a nautical-inspired color palette with shades of ocean blue, sandy beige, and vibrant coral. Add some cute seashell or starfish designs for an extra beachy touch. With these nails, you’ll blend in perfectly with the coastal scenery! We suggest going for a gel manicure because they are durable and will last through all the days spent playing in the sand and swimming in the salt water.
Christmas Vacation Nails
Dreaming of a white sandy Christmas? Capture the magic of the holiday season with festive Christmas nails. Opt for classic red and white shades with metallic hues like gold or silver. You can also experiment with intricate snowflake patterns or delicate mistletoe accents to bring Christmas cheer to your manicure. For these festive claws, we highly suggest going for acrylic nails because you can get all the lengths you desire for all those Christmas designs.
Cruise Vacation Nails
If you’re embarking on a luxurious cruise vacation, your nails should be just as glamorous! Choose colors like deep reds, navy blues, and chic neutrals. These nails will elevate your cruise experience to a new level of beauty! For these guys, we suggest just regular polish as they likely won’t chip, as all you’ll be doing is kicking back and relaxing.
Winter Vacation Nails
For those seeking a cozy winter retreat, embrace the serene beauty of the season with your winter nails. Opt for dark greens, soft whites, and some glitter cause why not. Add whimsical snowflake or holly-inspired nail art for that extra touch of wintery charm. With these nails, you’ll be ready to enjoy hot cocoa by the fireplace in style! For these guys, we also suggest going for acrylic nails. You can have as much surface area as you desire to add any kind of designs you like.
Classy Vacation Nails
Keep things classy and cute with these classy vacation nails. The long square nail shape paired with the colors of the ocean is perfect for spending a holiday by the water. Just picture what these would look like while you swim in the ocean the same color as your claws. We love the addition of the gold flakes – it makes the manicure that much more special, perfect for a special vacation.
Cute Vacation Nails
If you’re in the mood for something fun and playful, cute vacation nails are the way to go. What makes these nails cute is the bright colors and geographic shapes.
Hand painting geometric shapes can be tricky, but there are ways around it, such as:
- Nail stickers
- Nail decals
- Press on nails
- Nail stencils
Tropical Vacation Nails
Heading to a tropical paradise? Your nails should reflect the lush beauty of your destination! Everyone goes for the bright neons, but we suggest switching things up and trying darker colors like purple and dark turquoise. To take things even further, add some leaf designs to replicate the tropics.
Simple Vacation Nails
If you prefer a minimalist approach to your nail design, simple vacation nails are the perfect choice. However, just because you want something simple doesn’t mean the colors need to be. We suggest going for a bright yellow to match the happy vibes of your vacation.
Mexico Vacation Nails
If you’re jetting off to the vibrant and colorful country of Mexico, your nails should reflect the energetic spirit of the culture. Choose vibrant shades like fiery reds, cheerful yellows, and vibrant dark greens. Incorporate traditional Mexican patterns like intricate Aztec designs or embroidered details for a touch of Mexican flair! Or keep it culture-neutral and go for fun designs like flames and smiley faces.
White Vacation Nails
White is the best vacation nail color, and no one can tell you otherwise. It goes with every outfit and adventure your vacation buddies might throw at you. However, don’t forget to spice things
