Nails have become one of the first things people refresh as summer approaches. And this year there are options for every style: from the boldest to the most elegant and understated. Here's what's trending in manicure and pedicure for summer 2026, so you can arrive at the beach with on-trend nails — from our salon in Campo Real, 25 min from central Madrid.
The star colours of summer 2026
Coral and peach: the summer classics
Coral never lets you down. It's one of those colours that flatters practically all skin tones, brings energy and vitality, and works with any beach outfit. This summer it's worn in a brighter version on the toes and in softer shades on the hands.
Milky white and pearly nude: understated elegance
"Milky nails" are one of the strongest trends of the summer. A very soft white or pink tone with a translucent finish and a pearly touch that adds cleanness and elegance. It stands out especially on tanned skin and goes with everything. For anyone looking for something pretty without being flashy, it's the perfect choice.
Cherry red and apple red: the classic reinvented
Red never goes out of style, but this summer it's worn in more intense, vivid versions. Cherry red and candy apple red are among the most requested. On toes, a bright red on tanned skin is a winning combination that never ages.
Controlled neon: for those who dare
Neon fuchsia, lime green and electric blue are for those who want to make a statement. This year they work better on toes than on hands, and paired with something understated on the manicure to balance the look.
Clean nails and nude gel effect: minimalism that never dates
For the most minimalist: well-groomed nails, perfect cuticles and a nude or clear polish with a gel finish. The "clean girl" trend is still very strong. The difference is in the care of the nail, not the colour.
The expert's tip: in summer, the colour that looks best on toes is usually one or two shades more intense than the one on the hands. Nude or pearly hands + coral or red toes is one of the most flattering combinations there is.
The hands-feet harmony: total matching or combination?
This summer's trend is smart combination: hands and feet don't have to match, but they should harmonise. Hands in a soft shade with toes in the same colour but more intense, or nude hands with toes in a seasonal colour, both work beautifully.
