Want to feel nail-worthy this summer? Summer nails are all about bright colors, floral patterns and the latest trends. The nail art design that is really taking over is negative space nails. You might have seen them on Instagram, nail blogs and even on celebs like Kylie Jenner and Camila Cabello.The negative space nail design doesn’t require a base color and gives off the look as if the nail design is floating against the naked nail, as it has been called the cut-out dress of the nail world. This design is perfect because it’s so versatile. Matte or shiny, light or dark, pastel or neon, this trend can be worn in many different ways with all different nail shapes.

So, how do you achieve this summer nail art design? Here are the steps to a perfect negative space nail manicure:

1.To start off, apply a base coat to your natural nail (which can be either matte or shiny).

2. Let the base coat dry COMPLETELY (If it is not fully dry, it will effect the end result)

3.Take a small nail art brush and make designs using your favorite summer colors to create a look in which the base coat can be seen.

4. Finish off with a quick-drying top coat

5. Take a pic of your gorgeous new summer mani and post it to Instagram using the hashtag #StormStyleNails

Summer Bonus Tip – If you’re strength is not working with a tiny nail brush, simply apply a paper reinforcement ring about 1/4 down on the nail, paint the whole nail in a summer color and remove the reinforcement. The result should end in a effortlessly magnificent mani, which you can show off to all your friends.

Always remember to stay positive while doing negative nails because even if you don’t succeed at first, you can always NAIL THAT TREND!
