1. Milky Peach & Soft Coral, The Ultimate Summer Classics

Nothing says “summer nails” like soft peachy tones.
This year, milky peach and sheer coral sets are leading the trends for good reason:

• They complement sun-kissed skin

• They look natural yet bright

• They pair perfectly with gold jewellery

• They enhance short and long nail shapes

As one of the most popular summer nail sets, peach and coral BIAB overlays offer durability and a glossy glow, ideal for holidays, beach days, and summer events.

Perfect for:
Clients who want a soft, feminine, low-maintenance summer look that matches every outfit.

2. Pearly Chrome Sets, The Soft Glow Trend of the Season

Chrome is still one of the biggest nail trends, but summer 2025 is all about soft, pearlescent chrome sets instead of bold metallics.

These summer nail sets offer a luminous finish that catches the sunlight beautifully. The look is clean, glossy, and incredibly elegant.

Popular variations include:

• Pearl chrome on short almond nails

• Rose pearl over a nude BIAB base

• Frosted white chrome for a beachy vibe

• Champagne chrome for events and nights out

When combined with Hermès, Dior or O.P.I gel colours, pearl chrome creates a luxurious finish without being too bold.
