GALLERY: The perfect summer season nail designs

December is the time for us to let our hair lose and relax. For many this includes being able to explore with nail designs and length as we step away from the professionalism of the workplace.

While maintenance week is upcoming for many, some indecisive individuals are still quite undecided as to which nail designs they are going for this season. Before you take a look at these designs, here is a fun fact about the origin of acrylic nails.

Phamily Enterprise – relaxation and beauty services – further shares that acrylic nails were invented by a dentist. This discovery came after he had broken a nail and “created an acrylic nail as a temporary replacement. It is shared that “after experimenting with different substances/powders, he and his brother founded Patti Nails and patented their invention.”

According to Instyle – fashion, beauty, celebrity, and lifestyle content source – acrylics are a result of mixture of “powder and liquid monomer that’s combined into a blob of dough, shaped onto your nails with a brush, and then air-dried.”

Now, back to these designs. The variety ranges from the most subtle to the most daring designs. One of the most interesting things about acrylic nails is that they are quite fun as the colour possibilities are endless.  These are also guaranteed to last as they are quite strong and long lasting.

Here are a few of the perfect summer sets this season:
