10 Spring & Summer Nail Trends You Should Try
Every year, when the drudgery of winter begins to lift, we look to the brighter, warmer days ahead and as a result (if you are anything like myself), your entire life must be rearranged to follow suit. From cleaning and revamping our wardrobes to ditching the snacks that seemed like the only thing that would get us through those incredibly short days and insufferably long winter nights—spring feels like finally being able to exhale after months of holding our breath.
When the sun starts to grace us with her presence for longer and more consistent periods, not only do my wardrobe and eating habits begin to change, but so does my upkeep. While we can get away with less-than-ideal grooming habits in the winter due to the layers, gloves, and snow boots, spring is the ideal time to step it up a few notches and display your personal sense of style and creativity—not only with your wardrobe but with your nail care as well.
One of the most fun ways that I’ve been inspired to show off my creativity has been through my manicures. So if you’re like me and you like to keep a running mood board for nail looks, keep reading to find 10 of the best spring-worthy (and Pinterest-approved, let's be honest) nail trends below!
