Solid colored nails are so yesterday. Get funky and try your hand at one of these eight nail trends this season, available at local salons.
1. Negative Space
Give your manicure a modern twist using negative-space nail art. Create stripes and ribbons of varying widths across each nail and half moons at the cuticles or tips to create minimal nail art without mixing your colors.
2. Floral Print Nails
Get inspired by what is growing outside your window this season. Decorate your nails with floral prints (always in style for spring). Play around with different colors and add petals and branches to your nails.
3. Colored Tips
An exciting twist on the classic French manicure. Say goodbye to the traditional white tips and switch them out for an electric orange. For an extra pop of color, add a thin yellow stripe just under the orange to create some springtime contrast.
4. Chrome
This edgy nail trend is hard to go unnoticed when the colors change right in front of your eyes! Chrome polishes are the way to go to add dimension to your nails. Pair with another iridescent hue to glimmer when light hits.
5. Pastels
What says ‘spring’ better than pastels? Don delicate shades like yellows, oranges, peaches, baby blue, and pink. If you can’t pick one, use them all! Painting all ten fingers the same color is so passé.
6. Press-On Texture
For those looking to don extra detail, rhinestones and studs can amp the drama. Add multiple stones to each nail or create one accent nail — either way, a little sparkle is always showstopping.
7. Glitter
No matter what age you are, glitter can be a fun way to spice it up. Glitter is making a big statement with makeup this season, and glittery nails have been adored for decades. Pay tribute to this forever-loved trend and bring glitz to your everyday.
