Summer Press-On Nail Trends + Behind the Scenes at Lily Nails Art
Summer Nails Are Coming. But Maximal Is Here!
Summer nails are currently in finalization over here.
Which basically means tiny details are being obsessed over, colours are getting changed for the 14th time, charms are being moved around by approximately 2mm, and nobody is allowed to call anything finished until we all collectively agree:
okay. now she’s done.
Perfectionism? yes.
Worth it? also yes.
While the new summer designs are getting their final dramatic edits, we wanted to share a few things happening in Lily world right now.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Medium almond is having a moment
We’ve noticed something lately.
Some of our maximal medium almond sets are absolutely flying.
Which has us asking:
Is medium almond the new maximal?
Because apparently some of you want full drama… without needing to text with tiny medieval weapons attached to your fingers.
Fair.
Some current favourites:
(Yes, we fully support this era.)

A tip for flatter nail beds (this one actually helps)
If you’ve ever tried press-ons and thought:
"These are gorgeous but why don’t they sit flush on my nails?"
This might be why.
Some nail beds are naturally flatter.
A quick trick:
Take a glass of warm (not boiling) water.
Push the press-on against the glass briefly so the structure softens slightly.
This will gently reshape the curve before application.
That tiny adjustment can make a huge difference in fit.

Important:
gentle warmth only.
No melting our tiny masterpieces please 😭

Need something summery right now?
While the new collection gets its finishing touches, last year’s summer favourites are still here.
The classics.
The compliment magnets.
The “wait where did you get those?” sets.
Think:
-
fruity designs
-
vacation-ready nails
-
beach energy
-
sunshine main character behaviour
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Why we obsess over tiny details
One thing about handmade nails:
the tiny things matter.
The exact curve.
The charm placement.
The balance of colour.
The amount of drama.
Factory nails don’t get that kind of treatment.
That’s the difference between:
"cute nails"
and
"omg WHERE did you get those?"
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Summer is very close 👀
We’re almost there.
And trust us.
She’s worth the wait.
