Mini Egg-Inspired & More: The Nail Trends We Love Right Now
It’s not just your wardrobe that needs an overhaul when the sun begins to shine, but your talons too. Forgo your usual dark wintry shades and classic reds for brighter funkier designs that will definitely put a spring in your step. Here are the hottest spring nail trends to have on your radar.
Hop Onto These Spring Trends
Mega Glossy
Remember Hailey Bieber’s glazed doughnut skin and nails hype, well, it seems the glossy, overly-shiny-dipped-in-icing-sugar look, is very much on trend this year. It’s a beautiful way to wear a natural nail and make it look fresh and on point without having to consider your wardrobe choices. Plus, it suits short or long nails and gives talons an iridescent shine when the sun comes out.

Embossed & Embellished
Who doesn’t love to look down on a sparkle or chain dangling from their nails? Nail art has upped its game this season with hardcore designs that can be both weighty and totally impractical but at the same time make you and others swoon at the incredible creative drippings. It’s definitely not a look for the office (especially if you’re bashing away at your keyboard for hours on end) but a great ice breaker for parties when the dress code is glam.

Green With Envy
Not the colour you would necessarily choose for summer, or in fact any season! However, greens are the new blues. Choose a tone that you’re comfortable with, whether it’s neon, lime, moss or emerald, green is surprisingly flattering on all skin tones and will stand out from the crowd. If this sounds far too daring for you, first try the colour on your feet and then when you’re feeling more daring move to your hands. And if you want your nails to look extra bright, paint a white base layer underneath your polish.

Fabulous Florals
Springtime means florals are very much on the agenda and it’s not just floral dresses we’re talking about. Nails are blooming with floral designs that can be created with both nail art and wait for it…dried flowers?! Promise, it’s a thing! And surprisingly easy to do yourself. Stick to nude polishes and then go foraging in your garden for teeny buds and petals that give nails that fresh as a daisy look, quite literally!

Mini Egg Inspired
Forget the traditional Easter egg hunt, this year’s hottest accessory is hidden on your fingertips! Mini egg nail art takes inspiration from the beloved chocolate candy. All you need is a base coat in a soft pastel shade, like sunshine yellow or baby blue! If you choose to add tiny, imperfect dots in brown and white, be careful not to snack on a nail. It’s a subtle yet delightful way to celebrate the season, perfect for those who love a touch of playful flair.
