I am absolutely a huge fun of this brilliant idea of recreating the rising sun.
It’s actually called the “Half Moon” nail trend and it features color and glitter on the cuticle area.
But I love using this for summer as it recreates the sun rising (or sunsets, if you prefer it that way).
Like in this photo, you can also create double layering, using two shades (pink and red).
14. Negative Space Inspo

These itty-bitty flowers populating three nails while the other two nails are in monotone makes a perfect summery twist.
