The "Clean Girl" Coastal Summer Sheers
For the days when you want your hands to look effortlessly expensive and polished. These sheer, glossy shades give that "my nails but better" look that pairs perfectly with linen dresses and a fresh tan.
I always come back to this. It’s the perfect milky pink that never streaks, and it honestly makes my fingers look longer and so elegant. The ultimate wedding guest color, too!
"Expensive Old Money" Pink
Stark, opaque white can look a little harsh on me in the summer, but this soft, sheer white is basically the "blueberry milk" trend in a bottle. It looks stunning against sun-kissed skin.
Perfect Milky Cloud White
If I have exactly zero time before a trip, I swipe one coat of this on. It somehow makes the pink part of my nail pinker and the white part whiter. Pure witchcraft, and I’m completely obsessed.
Instant French Manicure Filter
If my nails are stained from a dark polish or just looking a little rough, this is my magic eraser. It blurs out imperfections and gives this milky, luminescent glow without looking like heavy polish. It's basically a tinted moisturizer for your nail...
"Your Nails But Better" Filter
The Juicy Tropical Brights
When you're ready to make a statement on your beach vacation! These are the vibrant, fruity, and bold shades that literally scream summer. They instantly boost my mood every time I look down at my hands.
You guys, the holographic sparkle in this is insane in direct sunlight! It’s this bright, punchy lime green that always gets me so many compliments when I'm holding a drink by the pool.
The Glowing Margarita Green
I swear this specific coral-red makes my hands look instantly tanner. Plus, the Gel Couture line is magic—it lasts nearly two weeks on me without chipping, even after days at the beach.
The Perfect Sunburn-Flattering Coral
Yellow is notoriously hard to formulate without looking streaky, but this one is completely opaque in two coats. It’s so cheerful and looks adorable for a weekend picnic date.
"Sorbet Girl Summer" Yellow
This vibrant, bright cobalt blue is an absolute showstopper. I wore this on a beach trip, and it completely popped against the white sand and my swimsuit. It’s edgy, a little unexpected, and still screams summer vacation.
Santorini Poolside Blue
The Glazed Donut & Chrome Toppers
Hailey Bieber changed the nail game forever, and I am still firmly in my chrome era. These magical iridescent top coats and powders turn any basic color into a glowing, mermaid-core masterpiece.
Yes, this is the exact powder the salons use for the viral glazed look! I gently rub a tiny bit over a sheer neutral, and it gives that perfect pearlescent, frosted finish right at home.
Original Viral Glazed Donut Powder
I love painting this over a light baby blue or lavender. It shifts from pink to gold in the light and makes my nails look like actual iridescent seashells. So pretty for a beach trip!
The Iridescent Mermaid Fin Glaze
If you want your nails to look like they are covered in crushed diamonds in the summer sun, you need this. It's a clear coat packed with holographic flakes, and I literally put it over everything in July.
"Diamond Dust" Sparkle Filter
This is the coolest, pearlescent pink-to-blue shifting top coat. Whenever I feel like my solid pastel polish is looking a little flat, I swipe this over it and it instantly turns it into a magical, multidimensional chrome. It gives you that trendy gl...
Frosted Ice Cube Glaze
The At-Home Salon Survival Kit
A cute summer color is nothing without a flawless foundation. All the swimming, sunscreen, and sand can seriously wreck your nails, so these are the heavy-hitters I use to keep my cuticles hydrated and my polish locked in place.
I keep a bottle of this in my beach bag and on my nightstand. It smells amazing (like sweet almonds!) and keeps my cuticles from looking dry and ragged after swimming in salt water all day.
"Hangnail Healer" Cuticle Oil
I literally do not have the patience to sit around waiting for my nails to dry. This top coat dries my polish rock-hard in a minute and leaves a gel-like, super glossy finish that prevents chipping all week.
The 60-Second Liquid Glass Shield
This little rubber grip pops onto the top of any nail polish bottle cap and makes painting my non-dominant hand so much easier. It is an absolute game-changer for my DIY summer pedicures!
"Shaky Hands" Polish Helper
Let's be real, summer means I’m getting back-to-back gel manicures for trips, which totally wrecks my natural nails. When I need to give them a breather, I do a week of this clear treatment. It hardens them up so quickly and prevents all that annoyin...
