So much so, that instead of waiting for it to warm up outside, I've decided that I'm going to act like it's summer anyway (yes, even if it's raining). I'm swapping my jeans for dresses, I'm getting out all of my summer perfumes and I'm even swapping my spring manicure shades for bright, bold nail polishes that will hopefully encourage the sun to make an appearance.

When it comes to nails, summer can be a hard time for us neutral lovers. It seems that everyone opts for bright, bold manicures as soon as the weather gets warmer, and I totally get why you'd want to add a pop of colour to your look. However, if that's not your thing, then it can be hard to know what kind of nail design to go for. Luckily, this season there are so many classy manicure trends out there that look super fun while still remaining more minimal.

During red carpet season, celebs who stopped by were asked to trot their fingers through a little box to give viewers a bird’s-eye view of their nails—nails that were often painted a gothic black, rich burgundy, edgy navy, or covered in metallic nail art. The Mani Cam was met with some criticism due to its unabashed silliness, but the fact was that we really cared about what celebrities were doing with their nails. We still do, of course, but if the Mani Cam were around today, it would be a parade of mostly naked fingernails. It seems that celebrity manicures at large are in their most minimalist phase ever. So minimal, in fact, that you can rarely tell if there’s any nail polish there. Given that keeping an eye on nail trends is part of the job here at Allure, we had to wonder if our culture's current hyperspeed embracing of microtrends led to this bare-bones aesthetic. Was the barely-there nail a reaction to blueberry milk, glazed lemonade, Mob Wives, and all the rest?
