There's something about June that feels particularly invigorating. It's the first month of summer. It's a month that brings some of the best childhood images to mind. It's one of the warmest, sunniest months of the year. It's a time to check off memorable summer bucket list items. Simply put, it's one of the very best times of the year.
Such a month deserves picture-perfect manicures to match the vibe. With that in mind, we rounded up 24 June nail ideas to saturate summer's first few days and months with every color of the rainbow. Take your pick below.
