Atrip to the pool or ocean is—hands down—one of the best parts of summer. But, even if your plans don’t include a splash in the water, you can still channel the seasonal vibe with lagoon nails. The latest in nail trends is a strikingly cool way to incorporate shades of turquoise or blue-green into your tips. Enter: lagoon nails. You can wear lagoon nails with solid opaque colors or replicate water ripples with glitter and texture. Ahead, find some unique lagoon-inspired manicures to screenshot before your summer nail sesh.

@PHOEBESUMMERNAILS

The bold use of chrome polish and the addition of wavy abstract lines remind us of water waves and, if we’re being honest, The Rainbow Fish, one of our favorite books from back in the day.

A solid color manicure never fails, but adding chrome to a classic color adds a cooler touch. Try a blue, turquoise, or green base plus chrome to achieve this gorgeous shiny look.

@HELUVIEE

Incorporate two trends with this nail look—lagoon nails and velvet nails. To achieve the latter, simply use shimmering, semi-metallic polish. It looks just like velvet in the light.

Another way to add your own spin on lagoon nails is by changing the polish on every other nail. Apply a solid, light blue hue on some nails and a bold glitter polish on the others.
