It's officially summer, and what better way to celebrate the sunshine than with some gorgeous summer holiday nails? It's time to rock some fun, bright colours and standout nail looks.

We've got all your summer nails inspo right here: from neon designs to pretty details, you'll be sure to stun at any pool party or beach outing. And even if you're planning on a staycation this year, you can bring the holiday right to your home with these stunning summer nails.

The Mylee team have rounded up 8 of the hottest nails trends we're expecting to see this summer – you really don't want to miss out on these!

So, let's get straight into it...

It wouldn't be summer without a set of pretty florals, so we're kicking off our summer holiday nails ideas with this simple yet beautiful look created by our very own brand ambassador @jxckhxrperart.

We're bringing these spring pastel shades with us into the summer and adding a few bright orange pops to make it stand out against a naked nail base.

Jack has used Mylee gel nail polish shades Meant To Be, Orange Crush, Candy Girl and Lemon Squeeze with our Dotting Tool to create these flower summer nails.

The sheer light ‘nude’ base has been created using our Meant To Be shade, but you could totally switch it up with whichever nude colour best matches your skin tone.

We're keeping it light and fresh with this cute lemon gel summer nail look.

Brand ambassador @beautybyeva.r has gone for a super bright and sunny combo with our Margarita, Break The Ice, Olive You and Builder Gel in shade Light Pink.

You can recreate the lemon nail art and French manicure tips on these gel nails using our nail art brushes to get perfect, professional-looking edges and lines.

And you could switch it up by incorporating orange and green gel polish for an even more fruity look.

Taking the Crete Retreat Duo, we've created this beautiful Greek-inspired mani that is perfect for your summer getaway or staycation. It's super simple, which is what we love about it!

The two shades in this duo embody the iconic white-and-blue Greek buildings, and the nail art stickers are inspired by the colourful tiles and Evil Eye motifs.

These summer holiday nails are for all you beach club and festival go-ers!

This blue wavy nail design adds a splash of ocean vibes to your summer look and will look beautiful against a sunny beach setting.

We've used a combination of 3 blue gel polish shades for this look – Ocean Deep, Bluebell, and It's A Boy! – and our new nail art brushes to create the French tip wave effect.

If blue isn't your thing, take a look at our other shades for more colour inspo – the possibilities are endless!

We're sticking with the swirls for these bright summer nails, but this time it's a lot more fun and colourful.

The colour combination here is so sweet and reminds us of all our favourite ice cream flavours. We've used shades Break The Ice, Tangerine Sorbet, Pink Paradise, Peony and Let The Sun Shine and our nail art brushes to create this look.

If there's one way to get into summer, it's definitely these summer holiday nails!

If you're looking for something more fruity and summery, then this mani is made for you. It takes a classic French manicure and adds a fruity twist with the help of our Tuscan Orchard Duo and nail art stickers.

The peach and white gel polishes in this set create a subtle, natural-looking summery mani.

Add in the bright, fruit-inspired nail art stickers, and you'll be reminiscing about summer days in the Italian countryside.

Sometimes less is more, and these micro French nails certainly prove that.

Micro French tips have been everywhere for quite some time, and we don't see that changing for summer. Switching out a classic white tip for a brightly coloured gel polish is the perfect way to add a little more fun to your look.

Here we've used our Lemon Squeeze yellow gel polish and the 7mm Ultra Fine Brush to create this cool and refreshing design.

If you prefer slightly more natural nails, this is a great look to try out.

These Y2K checkerboard nails are a nod to the 00s, and we're living for it.

Our brand ambassador and nail artist @rubypolish has created a series of Y2K-inspired nail art graphics and French tips that embody a fun-filled, sun-filled summer.

Here she's used shades Break The Ice and Witching Hour for the white and black checkerboard, Ocean Deep for the flower and French tips, and Guilty Pleasure for the blue checkerboard design.

Your nails will glisten under the golden sun for sure with this gold leaf nail design.

Although they're simple, these nails will make a statement wherever you go.

We've used Builder Gel in Blush, and the Dotting Tool and Gold Leaf in our Be Jewelled Nail Art Kit to create this look.

You could use the rest of the nail decals in the kit to add even more glitz to these gorgeous nails.

Whilst we're on the subject of jewelled nails, it makes sense to talk about these gel nails created (once again) by brand ambassador and graphic designer @jxckhxrperart.

He's combined the blush nails trend (using our Forget Me Not shade) with the nail jewels in our Crown Jewels Kit to create these cute summer nails that we know will be a big hit this season.

Last, but not least, are these summer pastel nails inspired by the kawaii culture of Japan. Taking our Tokyo Tourist Duo and nail art stickers, we've created this subtle but fun mani that you can wear all summer.

The soft pale pink and lilac shades are perfect for a more understated look that can be jazzed up with the cute and colourful nail art stickers in this set.

From pastel nails to funky summer nail designs, we're expecting to see a lot of colours when it comes to our summer holiday nails this year.

Whether you choose to recreate one of our looks or design your own, our collection of summer gel polishes will help you create the perfect summer nails that'll last through all your partying and summer shenanigans – so make sure you stock up on all your summer colours!
