Let's recreate these mix & match summer nails

This summer’s nail trend is all about mix & match. Different designs on each nail create a playful and fresh look. This design combines flowers, swirls and colour blocks in soft pastels with bright accents – perfect for the season. Follow the steps below to create this summer look yourself.

Start with your usual nail prep routine and apply your favourite base coat. This helps create a smooth surface and makes your manicure last longer.

Step 1: Soft Pink Base

Paint 339 Ballerina Pink on your thumb, index finger and pinky. Cure under the LED lamp for 60 seconds.

Step 2: Peachy Base

Apply 446 Blushing Peach to your middle and ring fingers. Cure for 60 seconds under the LED lamp.

Step 3: Blue Accent

Sweep 266 Baby Blue over two-thirds of the nail. Cure for 60 seconds, then repeat for extra coverage if needed.

Step 4: Mini Flowers

Add tiny flowers on your thumb and pinky: use 156 Tropical for one flower and 270 Florida Pink for the other. Cure for 60 seconds. Vary the placement on each nail for a playful, mismatched look.

Step 5: Abstract Line

With the Fine Liner and 156 Tropical, draw a line where the Baby Blue meets the Ballerina Pink to create an abstract accent. When you’re happy with the design, cure for 60 seconds.

Step 6: Statement Half-Flower

Using the Fine Liner and 270 Florida Pink, paint a large half-flower as a bold feature. Cure under the LED lamp for 60 seconds.

Step 7: Blue Swirls

On the ring finger, swirl 266 Baby Blue into a soft, curvy pattern. Cure for 60 seconds once you’re pleased with the shape.

Step 8: White Mini Dots

Finish the small flowers on your thumb and pinky with a white dot in each centre. Use 299 Coco White with the Dotting Tool, then cure for 60 seconds.

Step 9: Finish Half-Flower

Add a final 266 Baby Blue dot to complete the flower and tie the colours together. Cure for 60 seconds.
