Popsicle nails is the happiest nail trend to try this summer

The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and I don't know about you, but I'm ready to inject some colour into my life this season.

I love having fun with my beauty routine in the warmer months, and one thing that I experiment with the most is my manicures, as they are so easy to switch up now and again.

So, when I saw that popsicle nails were trending, I immediately knew that I had to give the nail trend a go.

What are popsicle nails?

Much like lipgloss nails, popsicle nails are all about that sheer, shiny finish, but this time nail artists are using brightly-coloured polishes. Think your favourite ice lolly, but for your nails. 

There is so much fun to be had with this mani, as you can also create a range of nail art with a transparent finish. Don't believe us? Just check out some of the designs below...

How to recreate popsicle nails

To achieve the look at home, we recommend applying a sheer coat of your favourite, brightly-coloured nail polish. No need for two coats here! For even more fun, why not do a different colour on each nail?
