3 The Nail Way: Spring nail trends
W ith Spring just around the corner, the time to come out of winter hibernation is finally upon us. Shake off those winter blahs and show yourself some love, starting with your nails. Bid your boring nails goodbye and get inspired by some of the top Spring 2020 nail trends as interpreted by me!
The Crystal Mani
Crystals may just be the new flowers- just as beautiful and natural, but shinier and more glam. Whether it’s crystals applied directly to the nail, painted quartz-like textures or a more abstract version, crystal manis are all the rage right now.
Start with a barely-there polish with a translucent shimmer overlay, then add shapes cut out from holographic foil paper, and add subtle paint lines to create the look of dimension on crystals. The neutrality of the colours combined with the textures and shines keep this nail look classy and super modern.
Pastel Gradient
Easter being so synonymous with Spring, pastel coloured nails for Spring are a no-brainer. Rather than doing a different shade on each nail, having the gradient fade from blue, to pink, then back to blue again makes the look a little more subtle and unique. Finishing off the look with a matte topcoat makes them even more reminiscent of candy-coated Easter eggs.
Nudes on Nudes
Take your classic nude nails one step further by adding silhouettes of- you guessed it- nude figures! Keep the look light and airy by using thin, painterly strokes in a white colour for your illustrations. Instead of a full body figure try painting body part close-ups for a more abstract looking mani.
