Summer starts with a Celebritips press-on nail set. This May, we are launching the Resort Collection, a limited-edition lineup of eight premium builder gel press-on nail designs made for warm-weather getaways, poolside afternoons, and every sun-soaked moment in between. Whether you gravitate toward understated neutrals or cat-eye summer sparkling nails, this collection has a style that fits your summer mood.
Every set in the Resort Collection is crafted with Celebritips builder gel for lasting, salon-quality wear of up to 30 days. The designs come in short almond and extra short almond shapes, so they feel comfortable and look effortless, no matter where the season takes you.
Summer Resort Nail Art Designs: The Neutral Edit
If you prefer nails that look polished without trying too hard, the neutral side of this collection was made for you. These are the summer press-ons you reach for when you want a glossy, put-together finish that works with every outfit, every day.
South Sea Pearl
A baby pink base topped with pink and purple mermaid chrome for a luminous, iridescent finish. South Sea Pearl delivers a semi-sheer, glossy look that catches the light beautifully. It is the kind of nude pink nail with a glossy finish that fits right into a clean girl summer aesthetic while still feeling special enough for a resort dinner.
Glazing Drops
A glazed milky white base topped with sculpted 3D water drops that add subtle, tactile dimension. This semi-opaque, cat-eye summer design gives you the natural press-on nail look of a sheer nude or milky white with an artistic twist. If you love short press-on nails that look like your real nails but better, Glazing Drops is the set.
Glow at the Classic Tips
A French ombre base with a crystal cat-eye effect that glows only at the tips. This is a modern take on the classic French manicure, and the cat-eye finish gives it a dimensional quality you will not find in a basic press-on set. Think of it as builder gel in a case: a sheer, glossy resort manicure base with an elevated edge. Semi-opaque finish.
In Crystal Halo
A micro French tip set on a neutral, crystal-like cat-eye base. The Crystal Halo is minimal but not plain. The fine tip detail and shimmering base give it a refined look that pairs easily with everything from linen sets to swimwear. For anyone searching for press-on nails in neutral pinks and beige tones that look like real nails, this design delivers exactly that. Semi-opaque finish.
Summer Resort Nail Art Designs: The Sea Art Edit
The other half of the Resort Collection goes all in on ocean-inspired details. These are for anyone who wants a truly tropical nail set, with sculpted sea life accents, textured charms, and resort-worthy design work that you would never expect from a press-on.
I Collect Sea Life
Sculpted 3D sea life and pearls sit on a glossy neutral base. This set features the kind of ocean-themed press-on nail art that stands out without feeling bulky, thanks to the short almond shape. Each nail feels like a miniature piece of wearable art with its detailed sculpted accents. Semi-sheer, glossy finish.
Sea Salt
An icy blue gilded cat-eye base accented with chic fish charms. Sea Salt brings a cool, nautical feel with sculpted details that catch the light as you move. If you have been looking for short nail press-ons with ocean animals that will not feel heavy or awkward, this is the set. The almond shape keeps everything streamlined, and the cat-eye finish adds depth to the icy blue base. Semi-opaque finish.
Pose by the Beach Chair
A pink glitter gilded cat-eye base finished with seahorse and seashell charms. Pose by the Beach Chair combines the sparkle of a glitter press-on with 3D sculpted seashell accents and resort-inspired charm work. It is playful, textured, and unapologetically summery. Semi-opaque finish.
Gelato Gelato
Classic white tips topped with a 3D cat-eye pink ice cream charm. Gelato Gelato is the most whimsical design in the collection, blending a clean French tip base with a sculpted, playful accent that feels fun and fashion-forward. Semi-sheer, glossy finish.
Why Builder Gel Press-On Nails Last Longer
Every design in the May Resort Collection is made with Celebritips builder gel, which is what sets these apart from standard press-ons and allows them to deliver up to 30 days of comfortable, salon-quality wear. Whether you are typing at a desk, diving into the ocean, or packing for a weekend trip, your nails stay put.
Each set works with your preferred application method. Choose UV Gel Glue for the longest hold, Super-Hold Glue for a strong bond without a UV lamp, or Instant Tabs for a commitment-free option that pops on and off in seconds.
