July is the mark of summer in all of its full-fledged glory, when lake days, beach trips, backyard cookouts, and lazy sunsets are keeping spirits high. When choosing a manicure of the month, July offers the perfect opportunity to embrace the season's vibrance and go for something you might not usually choose, whether that is a cheery coral-red, punchy pastel blue, or new glowy neutral. Luckily, we've got plenty of inspiration to get you excited for summer's crowned month.

French manicures are a classic, never-fail nail design. The traditional look featuring a simple, neutral base and white tips always makes for a crisp, clean manicure.

If you're looking for inspiration for your next out-of-the-box French manicure, consider these 25 nail ideas.

Subtle nails this summer? Not a chance! Thanks to the mood of spring, our nails have become acquainted with soft, neutral tones to complement the delicate floral patterns and pastel color palettes of the season. Barely-there pinks, nudes with just a whisper of shimmer, and sheer whites spoke to the understated elegance of the season. So, with summer underway, it’s time to ditch those tame colors in favor of something bolder and brighter. When the sun is blazing and the drinks have tiny umbrellas, dull nails feel like a sin–and you know it.

Do you know anyone who has dual nature? Such two-faced zodiac signs are friendly but they gossip about others behind their backs. They can lie to you without batting an eyelid. However, detecting a two-faced person isn’t easy for everyone. They often compliment their friends when they achieve a goal or change their wardrobe.

I’m a busy mom of teens and a travel writer, so when I’m not driving my kids to rehearsals and friends’ houses, there’s a good chance I’m packing for a trip—and trying to perfect a cute summer wardrobe I can fit into my carry-on.

There's a handful of pop stars whose musical eras are defined by hairstyles. Lady Gaga comes to mind, as does Rihanna, but I'd argue the O.G. pop star hair chameleon has to be Miley Cyrus. Her blonde alter ego, Hannah Montana, raised a pack of 2000s girlies—myself included—and even after the show ended, Cyrus's hair anchored her different albums and aesthetics. Remember her Bangerz pixie cut? Or her warm blonde hair with dark roots that she wore for the cover of Malibu? In 2024, Cyrus is still on her hair game, with a new cut possibly signaling a new era.

At home in Paris, a red lip feels like an everyday part of life. An undeniable classic, it can be worn softly smudged on for coffee in the morning or applied more thoughtfully at night.
