One of the most popular videos includes a twist on the classic French manicure. Instead of white tips, folks are creating new looks with colorful tips and often use pastel. Still, the classic, bright red nail seems to be most in-demand trend of the season.
A red nail doesn’t require much upkeep and is fit for any occasion, and TikTok user @nails_by_cristina’s video showing off the perfect shade by Aria by HONA is the most popular nail trend clip on the platform.
While classic nails are chic and easy, folks are still drawn to a unique pop. Nail art possibilities are endless, and this summer sees ‘70s swirls and animal print designs coming up cool.
Checkerboards, cherries, smiley faces, florals, palm trees, polka dots and ‘90s-inspired nail art are also extremely popular this season, and TikTok users are showing off how to create these designs for yourself.
Not to be outdone, some classic trends from a few years back are reappearing. Ombre colors and metallic jewel nails are back in.

Nail designs are more popular than ever as men and women flock to nail art as a form of self-expression and creative diversity. After all, no outfit is complete without a full set of nails.
During COVID-19, the demand for nail art skyrocketed, hence the emergence of 3D nails. They take much longer than a regular manicure and require more upkeep, but 3D nails are certainly in style. From acrylic sculptures to diamond gems, there’s no shortage of options.
Ultimately, everyone loves a pop of color, so anything bright will do for this summer's vibe, whether it's an intricate design or just a classic color. See more of the most popular summer nail trends on TikTok in the full report, and see videos of the top 5 trends below.
