Velvet-effect nails are winter’s favorite, but you can confidently rock a similar look at summer’s end too. If magnetic nails don’t immediately come to mind for August, we’re here to prove they look amazing in warmer seasons as well. Here are 10 inspiring styles worth saving.
Aura Nails

Abstract Accents
Sticking with pink, this blue-pink-yellow combo ranks high among summer magnetic nails. Expect plenty of compliments when you wear this look!

This nail isn’t just perfect for astrology fans—it’s for anyone who loves exciting manicures! Velvet blue nails shine alongside gold and blue stars on a nude base.
Pastel and Silver Combo
If bold manicures are your thing, you’ll love this set bursting with gorgeous colors and multiple decorating techniques. Velvet nails, various foils, glitter, and silver details make it truly special.
Pink Starry Nails
Most pale shades don’t make magnetic nails look wintery—this pink manicure proves it. Darker stars add a playful twist.
Soft Purple
This gorgeous purple shade is a perfect pick for late summer! Glitter sparkles beautifully and gives a fresh vibe.
Strawberry Red Base
If red’s your color, try a brighter pinkish shade for summer and fall to avoid a holiday-season vibe.
Iridescent Shades
Don’t want to stick to one color? Pick an iridescent polish that shines in every shade of the rainbow when light hits it.
Bold Colors and Patterns
Mix several velvet-effect colors! Blue, green, and orange shades pair beautifully—and you can balance them with white or nude tones.
Pink and Orange
For the last hot summer days, this orange-pink ombré manicure is a fantastic pick. It’s special not just because of the magnetic polish but also the hand-painted designs. Bonus: it highlights your skin’s tan beautifully.
