Summer means it’s time to lighten up a bit. From your makeup and hair, to clothing and shoes—it’s time to pack away the dark and heavy hues and reach for something brighter—and the latest in nail trends is doing just that! Sheer polish in popping up on beauty counters and fingernails everywhere, with a rainbow assortment of almost-transparent, summer-inspired vivid colors that we are loving!

What’s even more fun about this new polish craze is the ability to overlap shades, creating a unique artistic touch. Not to mention, it’s great for those of us who don’t have steady hands or time to make a trip to the salon. Just one to two coats will give your nails a colorful pop, while still remaining sheer in depth and opacity. We recommend giving this new trend a test-run, and with so many brands on board, the options are endless. We’ve gathered a handful of our favorites below to help amp up your summer style with a pop of color and minimal maintenance.
