One of the best parts about self-care is taking the time to paint those nails! Time to ditch the winter nails and transition to fun spring colors. Spring is a great time to use the beautiful sun, flowers, and spring aesthetics to inspire your color choices. Shellac and Dip powder are two fabulous options, as they stay on for a long time compared to regular nail polish. Shellac is normally two weeks while dip powder can last up to five. Not in the mood to go get them professionally done? Don’t worry, Press-on nails such as brands like “ImPress” or “KISS” nails are a wonderful option.

During this time of year, celebrities such as Hailey Bieber often recommend options such as “smoky lilac,” a plum-colored tone. Another popular hit for this time of year would be robin egg/Tiffany blue tones. Baby blue is a popular option, as it pairs well with jean shorts and looks great with any spring outfit. Similarly, a pale pastel yellow makes for a great pick, giving off sunny/flowery vibes!

Last but not least, a popular trend we have been seeing is the color “off-white.” Off-white is perfect because it leans more towards a cream color if you are not into bright colors. A fun way to make your nails pop is by adding French tips, or some sort of design such as flowers or polka dots! Adding some detail is a fun way to not have just a solid color nail. Enjoy experimenting with nail colors and designs and happy spring!
