Quite often, we can easily find ourselves stuck in a rut when it comes to our own personal nail varnish collections. For many of us, unlike our wardrobe selections, we super-easily get used to throwing on our trusty shades week after week, without thinking about what's new out there. If this sounds familiar and you feel like changing up the shades you're using on your nails, check out our guide to the top new summer shades out there right now.


If you're headed to a festival, colour is the way forward. There are heaps of super bright popping neon shades out there that have the power to bring your entire look into the now. The Thakoon - Nars collaboration is a great place to look for this with stand-out brights spanning the colour spectrum from yellow to blues and pinks. If you're ahead of the game and want to start channelling some Autumn / Winter 2012 styles sooner rather than later, look out for the metallic galvanised type poilishes; Topshop have a great range in at the moment and Rococo's Gold Leaf Lacquer is well worth checking out made of real gold! Finally, if you want to be right on point for summer, why not check out Mac's Hello Sailor all white nail polish? It's great by itself as well as layered underneath neons for a really intense colour.
