Nails: Top 5 Summer Polishes 2026

Summer Solstice was yesterday and so I'm sharing my top summer polishes for 2026. These are the polishes from my collection I will be reaching for more often.

If you are interested you can see my summer picks for 2025 here2024 here, 2023 here, 2022 here, 2021 here, 2020 here, 2019 here, 2018 here, 2017 here, 2015 here and 2014 here.



Baker Street is a bright cobalt blue cream, last year it was one of the polishes I wanted to finish and I think there is only one or two sets of nails worth left in the bottle so want to use it this summer.


Selenite is a blue, flakie, topper polish. I've already worn it over a blue and want to wear it again soon.


Little Mermaid is a UV reactive polish going from green to purple, however the bottle I have no longer reacts. I do want to use it though because I like the sea foam green, flakie colour it now is.


The Scent of Azaleas is a mid purple holographic, which I like wearing in direct sunlight.


Oh, Plesiosaur is a dark grey, almost black holographic polish. It is different to Oh, Plesiosaur 2.0. Black may not seem particularly summer appropriate but there is something about holographic colours in direct sunlight which you don't get in winter, well in Northern England!
