Bright Summer Nails

Next, we have light summer nails with two glitter accent nails. One of the accent nails is blue and the other is pink. These nails are stylish and fun and will suit any nail shape and length. You can take inspiration from this look and choose bright nails with one glitter accent nail or choose both the pink and blue.

Which nail is the accent nail?

An accent nail is a fun way to customize your nails and something that stands out by adding a contrasting color or glitter on only one nail on each hand. It creates a fun pop of color. The ring finger is usually the find used as an accent nail. These pastel nails are different shades but are in a complimentary range of colors.
