When we think about the perfect mood to achieve with summer nails, cheerful, joyful colors come to mind, but not all of us see how summer white nails design can be a more sophisticated outlook on all the bright colors of summer.
The neutral aspect of white will almost always evoke feelings of breath and space. Below, I selected a few different nail art ideas with white for summertime.
Milky White Summer Nails
Milky white is a sophisticated variation of white that evokes a slightly chic, ethereal vibe in any manicure, setting it apart from the common bright white. Since it is such a pure and neutral color, plain milky white nails are enough to look stunning for a summer mani.

However, if you prefer some nail art for your summer nails design with milky white nail polish, there are numerous wonderful options, such as the super cute floral hearts below, which is a nice option for enthusiasts of short white nail designs.

White and Green Summer Nails
Orange, yellow and blue are the most popular colors when it comes to summer nails because they are cheerful and happy. Still, summer to me is also a synonym for refreshment from nature and stress-free vibes, which is wonderfully represented by the combination of green and white manicures.
