Not all nail art [1] can evoke that warm, breezy feeling you'd get from sailing along the Amalfi Coast, Aperol Spritz in hand — otherwise, employers would probably throw salon appointments into its benefits packages instead of PTO. Then again, you've yet to meet the easiest nail art trend [2] of the Summer: the geometric sun design.

"This design is a new take on geometric nails [3], which traditionally have straighter lines," said Hannah Roxit [4], celebrity manicurist and Sally Hansen ambassador [5]. "It is eye catching enough to make a statement without being too overwhelming, and the combination of the sun shape — plus the mix of vibrant red and cool blue polish colours [6] — makes it a perfect accent for Summer looks."

If you're more into sunsets than sunrises — and, like Cheryl Strayed would say, there's beauty in both — Roxit suggests you opt for purple or mauve colours [7] in lieu of blue. Either way, this is the one Summer nail art look [8] you won't want to miss — and we're walking you through exactly how to recreate the magic, ahead.

Step 3: Finish With Top Coat

Let the polish dry for at least a minute, and then complete the look with a clear top coat [9] for a long lasting, glossy finish and chip-proof wear.
