Summer is basically here! The days are brighter for longer and the sun is starting to make a more permanent appearance as we look forward to another much-needed heatwave this summer.

What better way to inject some sunshine into your look than with a fresh, summer nail colour? Especially as we'll be foregoing long-haul summer holidays this year. Since we won't be heading to the nail salon anytime soon (guidelines suggest beauty salons will reopen in July), we're taking matters into our own hands (quite literally) and stocking up on some colour to add to our current home range of nail polish.

We've picked out the 10 colours that will add colour to your hands, brighten up your outfits and put a pep in your step. So
have fun, mix and match and begin your seasonal style transition with this summer's hottest nail shades.
