Nails needing a new sheen for spring? Remove the dark winter hues and jump into the new season with lavender and strawberry shades, and sparkle your way into summer.
Transitioning into spring can be a little confusing when paired with the last of your winter trends, but more muted looks don’t have to be dull. 20 Lounge Boutique Nail Bar in Scottsdale suggests trying the perfectly purple polish shade, Scoundrel by Butter London, to maintain a comfortable yet fashionable look to approach spring. Scoundrel looks great on a variety of skin tones and changes hues with your outfits, expressing different gorgeous depths of purplish-mauve.
If you’re a little more ready for spring than the muted, sophisticated Scoundrel, get flirtatious with a Strawberry Smoothie Shellac with glittery tips. CND’s Strawberry Smoothie Shellac showcases a shade of classic, girly pink. Plus, if you love pink but also love a French manicure, adding a layer of glitter to the tips of your nails creates the best of both worlds. Even better, CND’s Shellac promises to be long-lasting and not chip or fade for at least two weeks. This look is girly, low-maintenance, and wonderfully springy.
Showcasing an bolder option, the pros at AMOMI Spa in Scottsdale say that Color Trip by Spa Ritual to be very popular for spring. This edgy pinkish-purple shade is perfect for the season and can be worn into summer because of its almost-neon hue, but it’s not too much to wear throughout the season.
An up-and-coming trend that has been showing up on fingernails everywhere lately are the effortless, mess-free nail coatings that are applied like stickers to your nails. Minx, one type of stickerlike, flexible coating, is available in a variety of colors and designs, but we found this pink-and-lime green fruit-inspired pattern to be perfect for spring. These designs are simply applied with heat and are a great, fashion-forward way to show off your beautiful nails all year long.
Scoundrel, Strawberry Smoothie Shellac and Minx designs can be found at 20 Lounge Boutique Nail Bar in Scottsdale all between $20 and $40, along with a variety of other techniques and services. www.20lounge.com; www.amomispa.com.
