Why this worksBright colours and unique designs on your nails can lift your mood and express your personality. Spring is all about renewal and vibrancy, and nail art is an easy way to refresh your look. Plus, experimenting with different techniques can also improve your nail skills over time.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Choose Your Base Colour Start by selecting a bright base colour that speaks spring to you—think pastel pinks, yellows or greens. Apply two even coats for full opacity, allowing each layer to dry completely.
  2. Create Fun Patterns Use a dotting tool or a thin brush to create patterns like flowers, stripes, or polka dots. Don’t be afraid to mix colours! Just ensure you allow each design element to dry before adding more.
  3. Add Nail Art Details Once your base and patterns are dry, use a fine brush to add details like outlines or highlights. This adds depth to your design and makes it pop. Go gently to avoid smudging.
  4. Finish with a Top Coat Seal your artwork with a clear top coat to give it a glossy finish and protect your designs from chipping. Make sure it’s completely dry before you go about your day.

Where people go wrong

A common mistake is not allowing layers to dry properly, leading to smudges. Also, using too many colours can make designs look chaotic instead of fun. Finally, skipping the top coat can result in quicker wear and tear.

The pro moveExperiment with textures by using matte or glitter top coats for added interest.
