Spring Nail Trends

With the easing of lockdown restrictions, it has never been a better time to get your nails ready for the return of bars, restaurants and events with friends and family. To get Spring-ready, try one of these nail trends that ooze fun and colourful sophistication. Whether you opt for shades of reds or tones of nudes, make a statement and keep it cool using Emolyne.

Multi-tonal Nudes

A simple and easy look that adds interest to any outfit, pick your favourite shades in varying tones to create this look. Here, we went for peachy, nude tones – but use whichever shades that take your fancy! This look also works well using contrasting reds; try some of our fiery shades for a fresh Spring look.

Shades used:
Cairo, Mali, Asmara and Morocco

Graphic French

We love this look by @whitneys_wonderland. Choosing colours that subtly compliment each other, paint your nails all over with a couple of layers of Fes (used here) or an alternative pastel shade. Wait to dry before you add a small crescent in your second shade. To keep it chic, ensure the crescents are painted onto the same side of the nail.

Shades used:
Fes (base colour), Mozambique (accent colour)

Go Wild

For the pros among you, why not try an animal print design that packs a punch. To keep the look elegant, use a classic red for the detailing and apply onto clean, clear nails like @overglowedit.

Colour Block Chic

A subtle take on nail art, pick extreme contrasting shades to get the best out of this look, or multiple shades like @kaddyfromthewest. Simply paint a quarter of the nail or experiment with different shapes to add interest.

Shades used:
Port Elizabeth, Cape Town and Nigeria

Popping Shades

As seen backstage at our latest shoot, try clashing vivid shades to make the boldest of statements. With award season round the corner, now’s the best time to be audacious – it’s a sure-fire way to make sure all eyes are on you.

Shades used:
Libreville. Why not also try a fiery red like Casablanca or Zanzibar?
