Especially for office workers or students who want to go for the elegant route, they will pay more attention to the choice of style: they don't want to be too ostentatious, but they also don't want to be without any ingenuity.
This summer, the main keywords for temperament nail art are "healing tones" + "low-key luster" + "small design sense". There is no need for excessive decoration, and it can also have a transparent feeling that people like at first sight.

🔹 Style inspiration is organized as follows:
- White Tea Cream Light : A milky white and translucent style with a soft focus filter feel, clean and with a soft temperament.
- Slightly translucent apricot nude : a nude color with an orange hue, close to the skin but not boring, especially suitable for fair skin.
- Small gold foil embellishment style : minimalist nude base with fine gold foil, simple yet exquisite, suitable for daily life and small dates.
This type of style is especially suitable for commuters or students and interns who need to maintain a professional image. It can make you happy and not easily step on the landmine of "not suitable for the occasion". If you are used to wearing shirts, suits, or linen textures, these will be very easy to match.
Refreshing but not boring! Temperament can also be played with small changes
Who says that temperament style can only go for a single color route? In fact, as long as you master the principle of "just enough" and add a little design sense, your summer will be more bright without being too high-profile. For example, the "French fine line", "partial gold foil", "mirror smudge" and other popular styles in recent years are all very suitable for matching temperament colors for changes. These small designs do not need to occupy the entire nail surface. They may only appear on the middle finger or ring finger, or be dotted on the edge of the finger. They are low-key but eye-catching. They are small surprises in daily life and a little romance that makes people can't help but look back at their nails.

💅 Select three summer designs suitable for temperament girls:
- Fine-line French border : paired with nude pink or gray-blue background, minimalist yet high-end.
- Very fine gold foil embellishment : like the light of sunlight, it does not steal the show but just enough to attract the eye.
- Solid color × gradient layering : adds a layer of haziness to the originally monotonous color, especially suitable for girls with temperament.
These little ideas will make your style more layered. Even if it is your first time to do a manicure, you will feel safe and beautiful.
Soft mist, glassy finish or creamy finish? Glossy texture is the soul of temperament
For summer manicure, besides choosing the right color, the glossy texture is also the key to the overall texture. The same nude beige color, with glassy finish, will be sweeter; changing to a soft matte finish will make it gentle and intellectual; if you choose the "creamy gloss" that has been very popular in recent years, the restrained gloss with a slight halo texture will make your nails look as if they were born beautiful, which is a perfect choice for those who love temperament.
But texture is not just about appearance, but also about creating an overall atmosphere. Choosing a matte or creamy gloss will give your fingertips a gentle feeling of "having your own aura", making you look neither too ostentatious nor too tasteful in the office or on campus.

🌿 How to choose the glossy texture? Here's how to match it:
- Soft matte × milk tea color/milky white : doubles the gentleness, suitable for daily wear when you don’t want too much flash.
- Glass light × pink and orange color scheme : increases brightness, retains a soft and feminine temperament while being lively.
- Cream light × nude color gradient : presents a natural feeling close to the skin, low-key but with a strong presence.
The next step is to prepare your fingers for maintenance. With these textured glosses, you will find that your temperament can really be revealed from your fingertips.
Tips for choosing elegant manicure: You can’t go wrong by grasping these 3 directions!
Are you often hesitant when choosing a nail style? In fact, it is not that difficult to master the elegant nail art. As long as you remember these three selection keys, you can easily find your own elegant fingertip style.
✨Determine your makeup style based on your base color
Nude and milk tea colors are the representative base colors of the temperament style. Light colors will make the lines of your hands softer and highlight your original clean temperament.
✨Choose "Glossy Texture" to enhance the overall look
Soft mist, glass light, and cream light, all three light textures have different atmospheres. If you want a sweeter look, choose glass light; if you want a more mature look, choose a creamy shimmer texture.
✨Decoration elements should be "focused" and not too many
It doesn’t mean that you can’t add sequins or flowers to your elegant look, but the key is to use “just enough in small amounts”. Focusing on one finger or using smudging to highlight the theme can create a delicate and non-exaggerated beauty.
Gentle look, you can choose to paint on your fingertips
When summer comes, we always want to change to a fresh look. In fact, you don't need too much decoration, a little softness and a little gloss can make you more cute and confident in your daily life. These summer nail art styles are not only beautiful, but also remind yourself: you are gentle and have the right to wear and paint the way you like. Even if it is just a short change of temperament, it is enough to inject a little gentle light into the whole summer.
