There is truly nothing that boosts the serotonin like a fresh mani, consider us that girl.
Now that it is officially spring (and summer is just around the corner), it’s time to swap out the moody, warm tones of winter and autumn for something fresh and fabulous on the nails.
Of course the classic is to turn to seasonal pastels of lilac, pink and mint, but there are so many trends and tricks to try to give your claws the TLC and glam they deserve.
From the trendy silver chrome, glitter top coats, pastel wonders and bold red hues, spring is the perfect chance to experiment with your nail polish wardrobe.
