The Mani Mood: Tropical, Bright & Ready to Party

Hope everyone is having an awesome Tuesday! My therapy? Getting my nails done. There’s something about a fresh set that just hits—especially when the sun’s out, the drinks are cold, and your hand is holding that perfect poolside cocktail.

MY WEEKLY READS

WELLNESS + BEAUTY

If your nails need a vibe check, these three trends are totally running Summer 2025. 1. Jelly Nails: Chic, effortless, and definitely not boring.

Glossy, sheer, and borderline edible — jelly nails are the hot-weather flex. Think juicy pinks, tangerine tones, and translucent greens that catch the light (and compliments). 2. Aura Nails: Made for poolside pics and frozen drinks in hand. ☀️

Aura nails = soft focus, major energy. Think airbrushed gradients in brights or pastels that feel otherworldly (in the best way). 3. Velvet Chrome: Basically, your nails, but with a vibe shift.

Chrome’s still here, but summer 2025 is all about the velvet finish. Magnetic polish = that soft, shimmery shift that hits just right in the light. Go for lilac, champagne, or rose gold — smooth, luxe, and lowkey hypnotic.

Short or long, almond or squoval — whatever your vibe, these nail looks just get it. Low effort, high impact. d Ready to book that mani? Cheers, Frances GalOffDuty
