10 Lavender Nail Art Ideas For A Soft-Girl Spring Mani
Pastels for spring? Groundbreaking.
When it comes to spring color palettes, pastels will always take the cake. Nothing fits the sunny, cheery vibes of the season quite like the soft tones of a pale yellow or minty green. As of late, one shade seems to be at the forefront of spring beauty trends: lavender.
While it’s having a moment in the makeup world, the pretty purple hue serves as a feminine and playful nail polish choice that’s perfect this time of year. And whether you’re into a long, short, minimalist, or maximalist mani, the color is a beautiful base for all kinds of nail designs.
For those who prefer to keep it simple, opt for the sheer jelly of lavender latte polish or the subtly of French tips. If you love patterns, you can go with an intricate floral design (the shade is named after a flower, after all), or you reach for something sophisticated like gold-flecked marble. The options are endless.
Read on for 10 lavender nail ideas that'll get you pumped for spring.
