Our Favorite Peach Nail Designs For Fresh Summer 2024 Manicures

You can't go wrong with a set of creamy peach-pink nails, and the Pantone Color Institute has our back on this one. This peaches-and-cream shade piggybacks off Pantone's 2024 color of the year: peach fuzz. The understated peach fuzz hue is a lovely option for sweet, minimalist manicures, as it's universally flattering and easy to pair with different colors and patterns. For instance, you can adapt this playful shade to suit your mood for the month (or week), lean into the peachier tones to help bring out your sweet and fuzzy side, or go for a Bellini-inspired pink if you're ready to get your flirt on. 

Peaches-and-cream nails are also the minimalist mani trend this summer. The velvety peach tone is warm and inviting — perfect for beach days and sipping fizzy Italian sodas on the beach. Soft peach nails are setting out to be one of the hottest shades of the year, so book your next mani appointment ASAP to get ahead of this juicy trend (using our examples as inspo, of course).

Sheer nails were one of spring 2024's most understated manicure trends, so give this trend a summer-ready upgrade by combining a sheer nude base with French tips. Swapping pearly white smile lines with a creamy peach will give this classic mani a refreshing twist fit for sunny days. And don't sweat it if you'd prefer to take a quick break from the sheer trend. In this case, consider a milky French manicure-inspired look with a more opaque, milky pink base.

One of the reasons why French tips are considered an unrivaled classic is their versatility. So, even if you're a loyal fan of the sophisticated French mani, you can't resist trying creative and abstract versions of this timeless style if you're like us. To pull off a reverse French manicure that's sure to catch a few admirers, swipe on a layer of your standard nude polish and add a pop of peach along the half-moons or lunulae at the base of your nails.

Ultra-reflective chrome manicures are one of the most flattering nail trends for everyone in 2024. These sleek and polished nails look amazing in a wide array of shades, including a dainty, peachy keen polish. For a high-shine finish, sprinkle on a dusting of chrome powder after applying your peachy polish of choice.

If you can't decide between multiple peach-centric designs, why not channel some laidback summer spirit and try them all at once? Mix and match several ideas, such as floral patterns, solid polish, French tips, and a fun color block design. Summer is the season for experimenting with style, so there's no need to hold back when it comes to this muted tangerine look.

A solid peach polish is anything but boring if you take it up a notch and layer a sparkly lacquer on top. We all know that a coherent, all-over sparkle catches the sunlight in the best possible way, but a varied theme with one or two glittery accents will add more personality to your mani.
