Tropical nails are the missing piece of your vacation puzzle. You’ve got the flight booked, out of office message set, and your entire summer wardrobe packed. P.S. You probably don’t need that sixth ball gown.
On second thought, that beachside restaurant on Isla Nublar did look bougie…might as well bring it to be safe.
The only thing missing to complete your sunny escape are a set of tropical nails. So, we found the most gorgeous vacation nail art featuring flowers, neon colors, exotic animals, and even a fruity cocktail or two.
These nail designs will make you feel transported to the islands of Hawaii with just a single glance. Or inspire you to quit your job and move to Bali.
17 Tropical Nail Designs to Match Your Pina Colada
1. Tropical Bird Accent Nails
To achieve this look, simply paint each nail a different bright, summery color, and then apply for art school while you’re waiting for them to dry.
2. Hawaiian Tropical Nails
Pink and orange are the unofficial colors of summer, according to summer’s PR team. They’ve also announced that the aroma of garbage on city streets is out. NYC is so off-brand.
3. Ocean Nails
We can practically feel the ocean breeze in our hair already. Or is that just Subway?
4. Monstera Nails
If you can’t keep plants alive, maybe you can at least keep these from chipping for a day or two.
5. Tropical Rainbow Press-On Nails
Skip the salon and buy a set of these neon tropical press-on nails instead like these featuring hibiscus flowers, palm leaves, and rhinestones.
Available on Etsy.
6. Betty Boop Luau Nails
When even the sun looks hot, you know it’s an inside kind of day. Margarita, anyone?
7. Tropical Beach Nail Wraps
Nail wraps are a great alternative to fake nails, because they sit on top of your real nail. As a result, they can be more comfortable and less damaging than acrylics.
Available on Etsy.
8. Neon Tie Dye Nails
Get the tie dye look without staining your hands blue and ruining your couch. Just us?
9. Multicolor Tropical Nails
How tropical is too tropical? Well don’t ask us. We haven’t taken off this Hawaiian shirt in three weeks. Yes, our roommates have…noticed.
10. Tropical Plant Nails
The best part about these plants is that they won’t die on you if you forget to water them. For like, one week, David!

11. Pink Flamingo Nails
While you rock these nails, make sure to keep one pinky up so you can match the flamingo. Or one leg, if you’re a master yogi.
12. Tropical French Tips
There’s nothing more French than palm trees and birds of paradise. Why would we need to see a map?
13. Colorful Tropical Nails
This bright set is like 80s athletic gear in nail art form. We actually broke more of a sweat trying to recreate it than we did trying Jazzercise.
14. By the Sea Nails
These tropical nails are perfect for lounging by the beach or pool. Sun protection not included.
15. Mismatched Hawaiian Nails
If you’re looking for nails that are brighter than the sun, we’ve found your perfect match. Sure they might make it hard to sleep, but they’re totally worth it.
16. Tropical Floral Nails
These nails have it all: French tips, a pretty flower design, and enough length to defend yourself from popcorn thieves at the movie theater. *swat swat*
17. Sunset Tropical Nails
These vacation nails are just here to give you your itinerary. Hit the beach, grab some drinks, and then transform into a dolphin. Easy!
