I think the best thing is a french manicure. But if you don't want to have a french manicure all summer here is what I do:
I paint my nails with french manicure polish. Then I take a thin acrylic overlay to protect it. Then if you choose to wear a different color that matches your outfit all you have to do is apply two coats over the french manicure to change the color.
Then if you want to go back to the french manicure all you have to do is use NON-ACETONE nail polish to take of the polish and then you will have your french manicure back.
This is so convenient because french manicure goes with anything and if you don't have time to polish your nails you can still have a great look for summer.
All of my nail clients love this! Give it a try!
Good luck to you! ~

The color that's in style right now is a deep red. It looks great on toes. It also goes with just about every color that's in this season- khaki, beige, white, blue, turqoise, etc. On finger nails, I like a more subtle look- French manicure is the way to go. Even when it chips slightly, it doesn't instantly show like the red.
My favorite brand is Nivea. They have a great nail polish out with some sort of bamboo extract to strengthen nails and prevent chipping. I always use an over coat of Sally Hanson clear nail polish to give them a good shine.
Important tip: If you're going to use a colored nail polish, i.e. not white or clear, use a base coat of clear polish so that your nails won't stain!

I like and have on The Body Shop's Butterfly orange, it's a lovely summer colour and everyone comments on how much they like it. The Body Shop have just started doing nail polish and I prefer these because they are better for the environment and they stay on for a full five days without chipping.

I always have a french manicure and pedicure. I think it's quite classy.
