June is without a doubt one of our favorite months. It’s officially summer and Pride Month, the weather is warm and school is out. With all that excitement, it’s no surprise that there are tons of June nail design ideas to choose from. 

And that ice cream is about to become one of our main food groups.

Whether you’re lounging poolside or attending a parade, these creative designs will have you feeling stylish and ready to embrace the sun-soaked days ahead. And a bottle of sunscreen every two to three hours.

We’ve got rainbows and seashells, bright neon patterns and slightly subtle negative space designs. Assuming you have a great nail tech to actually create the nail art, the hardest thing will be deciding which one to start with.

 

The 30 Best June Nail Design Ideas

1. Neon Rainbow Swirls

Sometimes using your niece’s art project as nail inspo works out great! Other times, it looks like a terrifying rat. You win some, you lose some.

2. Rainbow Galaxy Nails

Pride + space + a kaleidoscope = these nails. See, math isn’t that hard!

Show appreciation for the father figure in your life with this simple nail design. Or, Mr. Potato head.

5. Multi-Color Diagonal Nails

Thankfully, picking your favorite colors for this look is a lot easier than picking your top eight friends on MySpace.

16. Cherry Nails

Summer is like the cherry on top of life. We’re sure there’s more to that metaphor, but we’re too busy eating cherries.

19. Rainbow Arch Nail Design

There may not be a pot of gold at the end of these rainbows, but we bet there’s some glitter. There’s always glitter.

20. Crackled Rainbow Nails

Our favorite part about this design is that you won’t be able to tell when the polish starts to chip off…two seconds after you leave the salon.
