Step into spring with a renewed heart and a fresh set of nails! Wearing florals and playful combinations of spring shades sounds so sweet this time of the year. Before you book your nail tech and run to the salon, spend some time gathering nail inspos and exploring spring nail trends. Here are nine standout nail ideas to inspire your next spring manicure that you can customize to match your overall style.
• Pinkish Nude Base With Dainty Floral Details
Pale pink and pinkish nude tones radiate effortlessly chic and are perfect for this season because they mirror the gentle hues of springtime flowers. Like these two nail inspos, you can incorporate a dainty stamp concept or a realistic floral design on top of your base to elevate the look. Make them extra special using Marble Inks and Mood Change Glow Gels!
