Everything Y2K is back and it’s groovy! Everywhere we look, it seems like we’re seeing manicure with abstract swirls.
Whether it’s in classic white or rainbow, bright neons or pastels, you can’t go wrong with summer swirl nails!
Ombre Nails
The ombre nail trend is still going strong! So if you love ombre nails, try this fun vertical version. It’s super easy to do and looks amazing!


The easiest way to get the ombre nail look is with a makeup sponge, and it’s incredibly easy to create this look at home!
I had this cute summer manicure done at Her Majesty’s Pleasure in Yorkville Toronto when Essie invited me to check out their new Swoon the Lagoon Collection. Check out my mini vlog for the event below!

We all love a classic French tip, but this summer season it’s been upgraded!
This trend sees not one, but two french manicure lines carefully painted along the tip of your nails.
