Summer is just around the corner, and if there’s one thing we love at Macadamia Hair Spa, it’s a good excuse to switch up your nails. Kirsty is on hand to create gorgeous nail art designs for you, like the one pictured above. Whether you’re after something bold and eye-catching or a timeless look with a little extra personality, this season has something for everyone. Here’s our roundup of the biggest summer nail trends heading your way, and how our talented nail technicians can bring them to life.
 

BIAB Nail Art: Strong, Glossy and Endlessly Customisable

If you haven’t tried BIAB (Builder In A Bottle) yet, summer is the perfect time to start. BIAB nails are loved for their incredible strength, natural finish and long-lasting shine, making them a brilliant base for nail art that actually holds up to beach days, BBQs and busy weeks.

This season, we’re seeing gorgeous BIAB nail art trends like fine line florals, ombre fades in citrus and pastel tones, abstract swirls, and delicate foil accents. The beauty of BIAB is that it gives our nail technicians a smooth, durable canvas to create intricate, salon-quality designs that genuinely last.

Popular searches like “BIAB nails near me” and “long-lasting summer nail art” are on the rise, and it’s easy to see why. BIAB combines the durability people want with the creative freedom nail art lovers crave.

 

Classic Nails With a Funky Twist

Classic nail looks are having a moment again, but with a playful update. Think French tips in unexpected colours like lilac, sage green or burnt orange instead of the traditional white. Think soft nude bases with one accent nail in a punchy graphic print or a tiny charm.

This trend is all about taking something timeless and adding a little personality. It’s perfect for anyone who wants nails that feel polished and professional but still have a fun, individual edge. If you’re searching for “modern French manicure ideas” or “classic nails with a twist,” this is exactly the vibe we’re talking about.

Our nail technicians love working on these designs because they’re a great way to express your personal style without going fully maximalist, ideal for work, holidays or everyday wear.

The nail above designed by Kirsty at Macadamia Hair Spa perfectly captures this trend.

Rounded Nails: Soft, Chic and Easy to Maintain

After years of dominance from coffin and stiletto shapes, rounded nails are back in a big way. This shape is soft, elegant, and incredibly versatile, working beautifully whether you prefer short and practical or a touch longer for a more elevated look.

Rounded nails are also brilliant for anyone who wants strong, healthy nails that are less prone to snagging or breakage, a big plus for the summer months when hands are busier than ever with travel, gardening, swimming and everything in between.

If you’ve been searching for “best nail shape for summer” or “low maintenance nail shapes,” rounded nails tick every box: timeless, comfortable and endlessly stylish.
