Sparkling confetti inspired talons: As the summer temperatures heat up, get the party started with plenty of shimmer and a dose of tropical yellow nail colour.

Colourblocked sections of yellow, black and white: The balmy July temperatures may have you dreaming of island yellow hues, but the inclusion of black and white in your nail art helps to lend an edge. For a bold, eye-catching mani, paint half of each nail with wide vertical sections of neon yellow polish. Next, adorn the other half of the nail with contrasting white polish and thin black stripes.

Pastel yellow and pretty floral accents: If you prefer understated femininity to the season’s fierce fluorescents, classic pastel yellows may be your beauty solution. Try polishing three fingernails on each hand with a soft yellow shade, and transforming the remaining nails with ladylike nail art. The look of white and yellow checkered tips, along with white blossom patterns, can instantly turn your basic nails into a magnificent manicure.
