Spring Nail Inspiration

by Dana Fox March 18, 2013

Spring is finally knocking on your door. Answer it with some fun, fresh, and colourful nails! I love spring and summer nail polish shades because there are so many different ways to wear them. A solid pastel tone or ten little artistic masterpieces bursting with brights can both work for this season!

 

It's that time of year when you can pull out all of your corals and mints and sport them proudly... and why not have a little fun with your fingertips at the same time? Here are a few of my favourite looks for spring:

 

 

 

Floral: I created this floral nail art with a simple nail art brush and shades from the upcoming China Glaze collection, fittingly called Avant Garden. Start with your base colour, add the coral flowers, then dot on some white centers and green leaves!

 

 

 

Fairy: Gradients and marble effects are back in full swing. You can easily recreate this look with the use of a makeup sponge and complementing colours!

 

 

Fruity: I love graphic nails like these! They are so sweet you just want to eat them up! These would be super easy to do as well with a nail brush and dotting tool

 

 

 

Chevron: I like this funky take on the typical chevron pattern. Add some outlines and some dots to your candy coloured polishes for an almost tribal look! Fun!

 

What colours are your favourites for spring? You can read more from me on my blog, Wonder Forest. 

 

Silver & Red Candy Cane Nails

Candy Cane Nails

 

Originally on our Remington Red Chair HOT LINKS for Candy Cane Nails, I was inspired to find a different version using another festive Holiday color…our friend SILVER.

 

 


Dani Taylor from Salon Beverly created this DYI  Red & Silver Candy Cane manicure. Let your nails be the star at your upcoming Holiday party!

 


1} Apply two coats of OPI Radiance

 

2} Select one nail on each hand to be your CANDY CANE  nail! Do simple white stripes on that nail with a white Nail Art {can be picked up at any beauty supply store like Sally’s

 

3}On the Candy Cane nail, go back and fill in smaller stripes with a RED nail art. Apply with a clear top and …VOILA.

 


Holiday. Nail. Perfection.
