With THE CARE GEL nail gel patches, it's easier than ever to adopt these trends at home. In just 10 minutes, you can achieve a professional, shiny, and long-lasting manicure, without an appointment at the salon.
Butter yellow, sky blue, lilac, khaki, nude, baby boomer, BB cream pink, or milk nails: here are the colors that will clearly be a hit this summer and how to easily adopt them with your favorite patches.
Butter yellow: the star color of the summer
It's impossible to miss butter yellow. It's THE flagship color of the season.
Soft, creamy, and luminous, it gives an immediate healthy glow effect. More subtle than a classic yellow, it's closer to a revisited nude, perfect for those who want a touch of color without overdoing it.
It's the ideal shade for a chic, fresh, and trendy look, whether on vacation or in everyday life.
Sky blue: fresh and soothing
Sky blue makes its grand return this summer with a light and refreshing look.
It instantly evokes sunny days and holidays, while remaining very elegant on the nails. It's an easy-to-wear color that works equally well on short and long nails.
Perfect if you're looking for a soft manicure with a little touch of color.
Lilac: feminine and delicate
Lilac is establishing itself as a safe bet for an elegant summer manicure.
This pastel shade brings softness while remaining slightly original. It is particularly flattering on all skin tones and gives a very neat finish.
It's an excellent alternative to classic pink.
Khaki: the modern and unexpected touch
More surprising, khaki is making its way into the 2026 summer nail trends.
This color brings a more assertive side while remaining chic and easy to combine. It works particularly well with neutral or minimalist looks.
Khaki is ideal for those who want to think outside the box without falling into overly bright colors.
BB cream pink: natural and luminous
Inspired by tinted skincare, BB cream pink creates an "effortlessly perfect nails" effect.
It unifies the nail surface while leaving a very natural, slightly pink and shiny finish. It's the ideal manicure for a fresh and polished everyday look.
