Easy & Minimal Summer Manicure ft. China Glaze Cali Dreams

Happy June, Polished People!

I love all different nail art types, but lately, my favorite style has been minimal. Minimal designs, minimal colors—all the minimal vibes. Can you relate? If you’re in the mood for a simple and cute mani, then this one will be the perfect summer option for you!

I love these two colors together! They remind me of surfboard colors for some reason. I’ve been really liking the color palette of the Cali Dreams Collection. So far, I’ve picked up “Live in the Mo-mint,” “Surfside Skies,” and the main event here, “Tangerine Heat.” Of course I had to get a couple, I mean, it is my name! :)

This design is so easy to create and you could easily adjust these colors to whatever you have in your collection. So, without further ado, feel free to scroll right along to see the product list for this one with Amazon aff. links, as well as a quick step-by-step for this design. I hope you enjoy!



Nail art tutorial:

Step 1: After base coat, apply two coats of a bright, summer nail polish to all your nails. Let dry for 2-5 minutes.

Step 2: Once your base color is fully dry, using a dotting tool, bobby pin, or toothpick and a lighter-colored polish, create two stripes on one corner of your nail, making a triangle shape below them. Repeat on all nails

Step 3: After letting your designs dry for 2-7 minutes, apply top coat to protect your design. Let this dry fully and your mani is complete!
