Nails that Sizzle – The Hottest Shades Worn by Celebs this Summer 2012

If you’re ready to sport some of the season’s hottest trends but don’t want to invest in a whole new wardrobe, pick up a few hot new nail colors instead! This summer, celebrities will be wearing bright and bold neons, classic cherry reds, and also decorating their nails with some mod, color-blocked designs. Your nails can be the ultimate accessory when you want to freshen up your look and play with some fun new colors. 

Here are some of the hottest nail color trends celebrities will be sporting for summer 2012:

#1: Bright Yellow and Orange

Add a burst of color to your look with a bright and vibrant yellow or orange nail color. A bold orange topped with some silver glitter is a fun and flirty look day or night. Try some bright, sunny yellow colors with gold glitter or just on their own for a head-turning look this summer.

#2: Glamorous Metallics

Metallic are still among the hottest trends for the summer season so don’t be afraid to show off your glam-girl side with a thick coat of gold, silver, or bronze. Stick with nail lacquers to get that super-smooth finish and layer these with a touch of clear glitter nail polish for that extra sparkle.

Whether you want to create a more feminine look or show off your flirty side, take your pick of pretty pink polishes this season.

#4: Sultry Reds

Celebrities sticking with the classics will be showing off bold and sultry red hues for nails this summer. A bold cherry red or deep burgundy red are a great match for those who want to add a pop of color but still pull off a more classic look. Try this one with French tips for the ultimate Hollywood glam look.

#5: Bold Blues

Metallic blue, bright turquoise, and shimmering navy palettes are back for another season and can be a great color of choice for evenings. Stick with brighter blue shades for weekends and casual days. Darker shades of blue are perfect for pairing with grays, black, and some neutral colors this spring.

#6: Color Blocking Designs

Get artsy by painting some geometric designs in two or three colors. Incorporate neons, metallic, and glitter-infused  colors to create your own unique design. Be inspired by this season’s color-blocking trend by painting nails with diamond and triangle shapes in a range of colors.
