There’s something about spring that makes you want to feel it all the way to your fingertips. The colors come back, the light changes, and suddenly that dark winter shade you’ve been wearing for three months just doesn’t feel like you anymore.
Springtime nail designs this year are a whole mood. There’s everything, from iridescent chromes that catch the sun like dewdrops, to intricate cat eye nail designs that catch the light on your fingertips, 3D details so beautiful they almost feel wrong to hide in your pockets, and French tips that have been quietly reinvented into something you’ve never seen before.
This season, nails are not just an accessory. They’re the first thing you change when you’re ready for something new. And clearly, you are:
