While we love a neutral manicure year round, summer is our favorite season for fun, eclectic nail colors. This time of year, say goodbye to your go-to nude or black hue for the time being, and embrace bright and trendy shades like blue, butter yellow and mint green. Some of this summer’s most popular polish colors include neons and vibrant combinations like orange and hot pink, which are particularly eye-catching. So whether you’re heading to the pool or meeting up with your girlfriends for a casual Sunday brunch, adorning your fingertips in everything from azure to a classic, fiery red is sure to turn heads all season long.

During SI Swimsuit’s Swim Week events earlier this month, beauty brand Sally Hansen got our models ready for the runway by providing chic and sleek manicures ahead of show time. The best part? You can easily replicate these model-worthy looks at home.

Whether you’re looking to enhance your natural nails or want to try out some artificial press-ons, shop a few of our favorite Sally Hansen picks below.
