Favorite Summer Pastel Nail Polish Colors + Recommendations

When it comes to switching makeup between seasons, playing up your manicures is the easiest place to start. For me though, pastel & bright nail polishes are my JAM. I literally wear them all year. So when summer rolls around, I have plenty of colors (& polishes) that I can recommend you to try out asap!

And here I have rounded up all the colors that I think perfectly encapsulate the best thing about wearing makeup in summers. Also, some of the nail polishes I will recommend have been with me for over a year so they’re really good quality because they haven’t dried out yet :)

1. Yellow
Nothing screams color like yellow!! This one is Lemon Fizz by Faces. Mellow Yellow by Sally Hansen is also very popular amongst bloggers (but I prefer the Faces formula)

2. Pink
What’s your favorite pink shade? For nails, I usually go for soft pinks but this bright, candy shade of pink is so pretty and unique, it is Candyfloss Matte by Faces.

3. Coral
Everyone loves a coral shade, right? Personally I don’t like them for nails but whenever I’ve worn Coral Craze from Maybelline, I’ve gotten a ton of compliments. That’s why I definitely recommend trying out this shade. Also see Peaches & Cream from Nykaa pastel collection which is a neon coral color on me.

4. Red
Red is one of those classic colors you need to have all year. This particular one is the most gorgeous shade of red I’ve tried. The formula is stellar too, I’ve had this polish since 1.5 years and it hasn’t gotten thick at all, totally worth the money you pay! It is China Flower by Revlon.

5. Blue
Powder blue-meets-periwinkle is one of my favorite colors, I believe it is called Serenity by Pantone (aka color of the year 2016). I found a nail polish in this shade from Bourjois called Adora Bleu (although it looks neon in pics :/). I’ve also worn this baby blue color by Faces so many times!

6. Mint
Mint is definitely the collective favorite all girls, and I’m a fan too, hence the mint accents on my blog =). This particular one from Nykaa - Mint Meringue, is so gorgeous, both color & formula wise. I’m actually wearing it right now!

7. Pistachio
I’ve always wanted to try out a pista shade of polish. I must warn you though that it gets dirty easily on nails, like nude colors. The color reminds me of ice creams though! This particular one is Hasta la Pista by Nykaa pastel nail polish range.

8. Lilac
I’m a huge LOVER of this particular shade of lilac shown here. It’s the perfect balance of purple & pink and nothing like other shades of lilac tried on my blog. Shade name is Charming by Revlon which I got for free during a promotion. Lilac Silk by Oriflame is also the same shade!
