Spring has sprung, and you know what that means – it's time to freshen up those nails with the hottest trends of the season! We let professional nail artist and brand advisor Julita spill the inside scoop on how to take your spring manicure from basic to breathtaking. Plus, she'll delve into why spring-inspired nails are perennial favourites, and dish on the must-have colours for the season.
Elevate Your Spring Nails: Tips from the Pro
First things first, let's talk prep. Prepping your nails is key to achieving that salon-worthy finish. Start by applying Instant Cuticle Remover to gently push back and trim away any dead cuticle with a Steel Cuticle Pusher and Cuticle Nipper. This simple step instantly makes your nails look neater and sets the stage for a flawless polish application. Next, give your nail plate a quick buff to remove any shine with our 7 Way Nail File Buffer – this helps your gel polish adhere better and last longer. Remember, practice makes perfect, so don't be afraid to experiment and refine your technique with each manicure.
Spring Nails Steal the Show
There's something magical about springtime nails, isn't there? As we bid farewell to winter blues, we welcome a softer palette of colours that instantly lift our spirits.
Pastel hues reign supreme during this season, with lilac leading the charge. Whether you opt for a sheer wash of colour or a bold, opaque finish, lilac is the shade du jour. Pastel pink and green are also top contenders, offering a fresh twist on classic springtime hues.

Blooming Beauties: The Hottest Spring Nail Art Trends
When it comes to nail art, floral designs are perennial favourites – and for good reason! This spring, floral motifs are taking centre stage, mirroring the blossoming beauty of the season. Rock this trend with a few simple steps:
- After prepping your nails, apply your chosen polish and let it dry or cure according to the product instructions.
- Then, using the Dotting Nail Art Pen, create five dots in a circle on your nail, leaving a small gap in the centre.
- Let the dots dry or cure, then add a dot in the centre to complete your flower. Repeat on as many nails as you like for a bloomin' marvellous finish!
Alternatively, if you prefer to keep a short and simple nail why not try a skinny French tip mani for spring? It's super easy, trendy and goes perfectly with any spring fit!
- After prepping your nails, apply your chosen polish and let it dry or cure according to the product instructions.
- Then, take your Nail Art Liner Brush and line the very tip of your nail with your chosen shade, ensuring to keep the line extra thin.
- Let the tips cure and make sure to finish with a layer of No-Wipe Top Coat.

Whether you're into pastels, florals, or simply want to perfect your manicure technique, there's something for everyone this season with the Spring Fling Gel Polish Starter Kit.
