From pastels to neons, these bold tones add a fun twist to any summer look. Princess Charlotte Casiraghi was spotted wearing bright hues in 2023, and the trend is back stronger than ever. According to Judith, \u201cBright colors enhance a summer tan and bring a youthful glow to the hands.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> <img src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2cd000d56325-monte-carlo-monaco-charlotte-casiraghi-attends-the-f1-grand-prix-of-monaco-quali.jpg\"   width=\"1080\" height=\"1440\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Charlotte Casiraghi 2023 in Monte-Carlo, Monaco.\" fetchpriority=\"auto\" class=\"image ho-image\"\/>\u00a9 Arnold JerockiCharlotte Casiraghi 2023 in Monte-Carlo, Monaco.<\/p>\n<p> <img src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/c0120e47dd5f-monte-carlo-monaco-charlotte-casiraghi-attends-the-f1-grand-prix-of-monaco-quali.jpg\"   width=\"1080\" height=\"1440\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Charlotte Casiraghi 2023\" fetchpriority=\"auto\" class=\"image ho-image\"\/>\u00a9 Arnold JerockiCharlotte Casiraghi 2023<\/p>\n<p> Minimalist Designs<\/p>\n<p id=\"eT3U_FscBHi\">This summer, minimalism is key. Think soft neutrals with delicate details. Judith notes that even the most classic women are open to subtle creativity, like minimalist designs with clean lines or muted accents. Sofya Kashanova, co-owner of Siberia Salon, adds: \u201cThin lines and barely-there accents offer elegance without overwhelming the look.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> <img src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/fe2dacf3b916-copenhagen-denmark-queen-margrethe-of-denmark-king-frederik-x-of-denmark-prince-.jpg\"   width=\"1080\" height=\"1440\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\" Queen Margrethe of Denmark, 2025\" fetchpriority=\"auto\" class=\"image ho-image\"\/>\u00a9 Martin Sylvest AndersenPrincess Josephine of Denmark 2025<\/p>\n<p> <img src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/cfc27646a666-copenhagen-denmark-princess-isabella-of-denmark-queen-margrethe-of-denmark-king-.jpg\"   width=\"1080\" height=\"1440\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Princess Isabella of Denmark, 2023\" fetchpriority=\"auto\" class=\"image ho-image\"\/>\u00a9 Martin Sylvest AndersenPrincess Josephine of Denmark 2025<\/p>\n<p> For those who prefer bold, artistic nails, here are a few designs gaining popularity this season:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-gid=\"eJ612m5erqz\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Blush Nails:\u00a0<\/strong>Soft ombr\u00e9 gradients in pinks, oranges, and lilacs over nude bases.<\/li>\n<li data-gid=\"eJ612m5erqz\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Chameleon Effect:\u00a0<\/strong>Iridescent colors that shift with the light for a magical touch.<\/li>\n<li data-gid=\"eJ612m5erqz\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Pressed Flowers:<\/strong> Real dried flowers embedded in polish for a natural, romantic finish.<\/li>\n<li data-gid=\"eJ612m5erqz\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Sliders:<\/strong> Quick decorative elements like ombr\u00e9 French tips, metallic lines, or palm leaf decals, perfect for a summer getaway.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p> Coral: Royal Summer Staple<\/p>\n<p id=\"eWV5tSj-NeW\">For Queen Margrethe of Denmark, coral is a seasonal go-to. Whether for a simple manicure or a sun-kissed statement, coral\u2019s warm undertones always deliver. Judith says, \u201cCoral flatters every skin tone, especially with a summer tan.\u201d Sofya adds that this year, coral gets an upgrade with a pearlescent glow, in line with the current \u201cglass skin\u201d and luminous beauty trends.<\/p>\n<p>  <img src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/0608bc97ffe8-aarhus-denmark-princess-josephine-of-denmark-in-front-of-aarhus-city-hall-to-cel.jpg\"   width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\" Princess Josephine of Denmark 2025\" fetchpriority=\"auto\" class=\"image ho-image\"\/>\u00a9 Martin Sylvest Andersen Princess Josephine of Denmark 2025\u00a0<\/p>\n<p> The Right Shade of Red<\/p>\n<p id=\"eQiWhfUrp0o\">Deep reds and classic deep red remain royal favorites year-round. Queen Sofia of Sweden has been spotted wearing dark burgundy since 2022, proving its timeless charm. Meanwhile, Queen M\u00e1xima of the Netherlands often opts for red with a touch of orange, a fresh and summery twist that retains its royal edge while enhancing bronzed skin.<\/p>\n<p> <img src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/28ea2c2fb3ce-prague-czech-republic-queen-maxima-of-the-netherlands-visits-the-charles-bridge-.jpg\"   width=\"1080\" height=\"1440\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Queen Maxima of The Netherlands 2025\" fetchpriority=\"auto\" class=\"image ho-image\"\/>\u00a9 Patrick van KatwijkQueen Maxima of The Netherlands 2025<\/p>\n<p> <img src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/bd9e859d29dc-prague-czech-republic-queen-maxima-of-the-netherlands-visits-the-charles-bridge-.jpg\"   width=\"1080\" height=\"1440\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Queen Maxima of The Netherlands 2025\" fetchpriority=\"auto\" class=\"image ho-image\"\/>\u00a9 Patrick van KatwijkQueen Maxima of The Netherlands 2025<\/p>\n<p> Yes to white, but choose wisely<\/p>\n<p id=\"esjXfvNp1B9\">Camille Gottlieb, daughter of Princess St\u00e9phanie of Monaco, typically embraces classic reds but isn\u2019t afraid to explore trendier looks. Recently, she\u2019s been seen with chic white nails, a shade that requires skill and precision to look flawless. As Sofya explains, \u201cWhite polish is difficult to apply perfectly. For a clean result, opt for a light white base or a one-coat formula that offers smooth, even coverage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> <img src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2a8d1fcff062-monte-carlo-monaco-camille-gottlieb-attends-the-opening-ceremony-during-the-64th.jpg\"   width=\"1080\" height=\"1440\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\" Camille Gottlieb,  2025\" fetchpriority=\"auto\" class=\"image ho-image\"\/>\u00a9 Pascal Le Segretain Camille Gottlieb,  2025<\/p>\n<p> <img src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/73315ec9a056-monte-carlo-monaco-camille-gottlieb-attends-the-opening-ceremony-during-the-64th.jpg\"   width=\"1080\" height=\"1440\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\" Camille Gottlieb , 2025\" fetchpriority=\"auto\" class=\"image ho-image\"\/>\u00a9 Pascal Le Segretain Camille Gottlieb , 2025<\/p>\n<p> The Clean Nail Trend<\/p>\n<p id=\"e93QlDR7c32\">Minimal, clean nails are taking over, and royals are leading the way. Princess Charlene of Monaco, Queen Letizia, and Kate Middleton often choose bare or milky nails for their understated elegance.<\/p>\n<p> <img src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/30177e0dd010-princess-charlene-of-monaco-at-the-award-ceremony-at-the-podium-during-the-race-.jpg\"   width=\"1080\" height=\"1440\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Princess Charlene of Monaco, 2025\" fetchpriority=\"auto\" class=\"image ho-image\"\/>\u00a9 NurPhotoPrincess Charlene of Monaco, 2025<\/p>\n<p> <img src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/9bdc366e6b06-princess-charlene-of-monaco-at-the-award-ceremony-at-the-podium-during-the-race-.jpg\"   width=\"1080\" height=\"1440\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Princess Charlene of Monaco, 2025\" fetchpriority=\"auto\" class=\"image ho-image\"\/>\u00a9 NurPhotoPrincess Charlene of Monaco, 2025<\/p>\n<p> To achieve the royal clean look, Sofya recommends:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-gid=\"eiW4hbW_Hs4b\" dir=\"ltr\">Daily hydration with cuticle oil<\/li>\n<li data-gid=\"eiW4hbW_Hs4b\" dir=\"ltr\">Regular filing to maintain the shape<\/li>\n<li data-gid=\"eiW4hbW_Hs4b\" dir=\"ltr\">Gentle buffing for a natural shine<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"eeEYWZtbdfv\">\u201cNatural nails tend to be more fragile, so minimal care is essential,\u201d she advises. Royals often opt for short lengths in soft square or rounded shapes to maintain a polished yet functional aesthetic.<\/p>\n<p> <img src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/4dd5e45c4eb6-colchester-england-catherine-princess-of-wales-during-a-visit-to-the-rhss-wellbe.jpg\"   width=\"1080\" height=\"1440\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\" Kate Middleton, 2025\" fetchpriority=\"auto\" class=\"image ho-image\"\/>\u00a9 WPA Pool Kate Middleton, 2025<\/p>\n<p> <img src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/c551f5b21f49-colchester-england-catherine-princess-of-wales-during-a-visit-to-the-rhss-wellbe.jpg\"   width=\"1080\" height=\"1440\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Kate Middleton, 2025\" fetchpriority=\"auto\" class=\"image ho-image\"\/>\u00a9 WPA PoolKate Middleton, 2025<\/p>\n<p> Why royals love the clean look<\/p>\n<p id=\"ergOmUATZ_7\">Function meets elegance. Queen Letizia, for example, is known for using her hands expressively when speaking. A bright nail color could distract from her message, making clean, neutral nails a smart and stylish choice.<\/p>\n<p> <img src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/7c26c250ee22-madrid-spain-queen-letizia-of-spain-receives-king-abdullah-ii-of-jordan-and-quee.jpg\"   width=\"1080\" height=\"1440\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Queen Letizia of Spain,  2023\" fetchpriority=\"auto\" class=\"image ho-image\"\/>\u00a9 Carlos AlvarezQueen Letizia of Spain,  2023<\/p>\n<p> <img src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/9ea5e28a33a5-palma-de-mallorca-spain-queen-letizia-of-spain-arrives-at-the-mia-restaurant-on-.jpg\"   width=\"1080\" height=\"1440\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Queen Letizia of Spain 2024\" fetchpriority=\"auto\" class=\"image ho-image\"\/>\u00a9 Carlos AlvarezQueen Letizia of Spain 2024<\/p>\n<p>Milky Nails: The modern classic<\/p>\n<p id=\"e1jcdizQhwlM\" data-wc=\"48\">When looking for something more polished than bare nails but still natural, milky nails are the go-to option. Judith says it\u2019s a trend that\u2019s here to stay, while Sofya believes it\u2019s already a classic: \u201cMilky nails are elegant, versatile, and perfect for all seasons, even fall and winter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"e0EJgPiKV0FY\" data-wc=\"49\">Whether it\u2019s Kate Middleton\u2019s bare elegance, Queen M\u00e1xima\u2019s vibrant red tones, or a fresh milky manicure, one thing is sure: royal manicures are setting the tone for Summer 2025.
