Easy DIY Summer Nails
You can really do these easy DIY summer nails with any color base coat. I have found that a white base coat lets the other colors show up the best but if you’d rather go with something else, you certainly can.
Materials:
- Base and top coat
- White nail polish
- 3 different bright color nail polishes
- Toothpick or special nail design tool
Directions:
- Remove all nail polish from your nails and apply a base coat.
- Allow it to dry completely.
- Apply a coat of white nail polish and allow it to dry completely.
- Make three dots on each nail with the 3 different bright color nail polishes.
- Use a toothpick to swirl the colors together and let dry completely.
- Apply a top coat and let dry completely.
That’s all there is to it. It’s a simple DIY that makes your nails pop but is easy enough for a beginner to master. If you make any mistakes around your nails, use a bit of nail polish remover on a q-tip to remove it. You can add a bit more color if you want to by adding another small dot.

Those are the cutest summer nails! We are going to try something similar to that with neon colors and a sponge soon.
Thanks, Jennifer. Can’t wait to see that one!
I love this! It goes with the “tie-dye” kick our family has been on lately!!
Sounds like fun, Sarah!
That is such a fun idea! I bite my nails like crazy, but my boyfriend’s daughter is always doing fun things with her nails. I’m going to tell her how to do this.
Thanks for sharing, Nikki!
How pretty and what fun! I mean the color combinations are endless! Thanks for sharing. I bet my niece would love for me to do this to her nails and I will!
Glad to share. Hope you both have fun!
