Bangs are reclaiming the spotlight in the 2024 summer haircut trends for women, bringing a swift refresh to any hairstyle. Whether adorning short, medium, or long locks, bangs inject a playful and youthful vibe. Their effortless styling and upkeep make them a hassle-free choice, promising a subtle yet striking makeover with just a snip.
Vibrant Pink with a Twist of Artistry
As a professional manicurist, I can’t help but be drawn to the playful allure of these almond-shaped acrylics. The vibrant pink base screams summer fun, while the artful strokes on the translucent canvas evoke images of sweet ice-cream and beach balls. The white drizzle effect paired with pastel lines adds a whimsical touch, transforming each nail into a piece of art.
- Consumables:
- Vibrant Pink Polish (Brand: Summer Fling)
- Translucent Nail Tips (Brand: Crystal Clear)
- White and Pastel Nail Art Striper (Brand: Fine Lines)
- Top Coat for Gloss (Brand: Lasting Shine)
These elements come together to create a look that’s both playful and sophisticated. I recommend using Summer Fling’s polish for its lasting vibrancy and Crystal Clear tips for a flawless base.
Creating this look at home requires a steady hand and a creative spirit. Start with the vibrant pink base, and once dry, carefully apply the translucent tips. Use the nail art striper to design your drizzles and lines, then seal it all with a glossy top coat. Voilà, summer is literally at your fingertips!
Cosmic Blue with Glittering Depths
The captivating depth of these coffin-shaped acrylics is reminiscent of a midnight summer sky. The shimmering pink base fades into a cosmic blue, with flecks of blue glitter like distant stars. It’s a style that says ‘summer night romance’ with every hand gesture.

I suggest Pink Whisper for the subtle shimmer and Night Sky to achieve the depth of the cosmic blue. The matte top coat from Matte Marvel gives an unexpected twist to the glittery affair.
To achieve this celestial design, start with the shimmering pink base. Gradually blend in the deep blue from the tips, adding glitter along the transition. Finish with a matte top coat for a starry summer night effect.
Classic Blue: Bold and Beautiful
Nothing says confidence like a set of stiletto acrylics in a bold classic blue. It’s a statement of simplicity and strength, perfect for the woman who commands her summer with both hands. The uniform color is striking, creating an aura of elegance and determination.

Royal Command’s classic blue is my go-to for a rich, pigmented look. Shine On’s top coat ensures a durable, glossy finish that can withstand summer adventures.
To recreate this, apply two coats of the classic blue polish, allowing it to dry thoroughly between layers. Finish with a layer of high-gloss top coat for a durable, eye-catching sheen that will last through any summer escapade.
Sky Blue Serenity with a Daisy Delight
The soft sky blue of these short square acrylics evokes the calm of a clear summer day. The singular daisy accent on the ring finger is a nod to summer’s beloved blooms, adding an element of serene beauty to the design.

Ethereal Mint Magic
Imagine a serene oasis in the midst of the scorching heat — that’s what the ethereal mint acrylic brings to your nails. The matte finish captures the calm of shady groves, providing a refreshing contrast to the usual summer glitz.

Oceanic Waves: A Deep Blue Fantasy
As I gaze upon these rounded square acrylics, the deep blue hue calls to mind the majestic ocean waves under a moonlit sky. The glossy finish captures the essence of summer’s endless waters, while the subtle swirls add a touch of the ocean’s mysterious depths.
