If you’re missing the beach right now (like we all do), don’t fret – you can wear the beach and the ocean waves on your fingertips! The beautiful shades of cobalt blue and baby blue look amazing on nails, especially when gold decals are added to imitate sand.

And yes, it might be hard to achieve these kinds of nails when you’re not a professional nail artist, which is why we recommend heading down to your local salon, or purchasing a set of press-on nails.

Press-on nails are readily available on online shopping platforms like Etsy and come straight from professional nail techs. In fact, most of the nails we featured down below are all completely shoppable, so if something has caught your eye, then just click on the photo, and it’ll take you right to the website for purchase!

Without further ado, let’s get into the best ocean and beach nail designs that are perfect for the warmer months.
