Grooming is always a testament to how much one prioritizes self-care, and your nail routine is no different. There’s nothing like a fresh manicure to pull a look together.
From French tips to rhinestone beads, it’s hard to keep up with this season’s trends. Quarantine was the era of investing in at-home nail kits. As we start to establish some sense of normalcy again, you’ll want to look your best for the next social engagement.
If you’re a minimalist when it comes to your nail upkeep, subtle Earth tones like sage green or a milky pink might be just what you’re looking for this spring. However, if you prefer a pop of color, bright pastels will be right up your alley.
From the neutral-toned nail lover, to the daring neon manicurist, we’ve got you covered with these 15 nail shades to shop this season.
