Spring nails are new, fresh trends in nail art, which are characterized by renewal, energy and inspiration. The concept, which includes many ideas, is formulated in one single word - freshness. Spring nails are not flashy, shocking colors, they are style, neatness, elegance and lightness. The color scheme includes all the gentle spring colors, and the design - romantic drawings.

Length and shape of nails

The spring 2013 season is laconic forms and rather short nails. Down with five-centimeter overlays a la Freddy Krueger, this has long been a sign of bad taste - unaesthetic, and not practical. Spring nails should be short or medium, comfortable length, no more than 4 millimeters. The shape of the nail is round, oval, a slight sharpening of the edge is acceptable.

Spring nails - fashionable color and design

The color range of nail art for spring 2013 includes all the colors of the spring sky, delicate greenery, blossoming flowers, in a word – the awakening of nature. Among the most popular, according to the forecasts of famous designers, will be the following colors:

  • Blue in all its variations – from soft sky blue, bright to pale blue. Coolness and freshness – this is the trend of your spring nails. Of course, blue manicure looks unusual, but this color will effectively complement a minimalist monochromatic wardrobe, which is also a fashionable trend this spring.
  • Rainbow on nails. Surprisingly, but with all the craving for monochrome this season, bright colors of the rainbow are also acceptable, of course, they are only suitable for young girls. Spring nails in rainbow tones are preferably done in the "gradient" technique, which allows you to create a blurry effect and a smooth transition of tones.
  • Pastel and cream. Here is a real trendy vector in the color scheme of spring manicure. The same classic French style, but this season it is distinguished by spring originality due to the coloring of the edge of the nail plate with varnish with a metallic sheen. Spring nails in French are a nail covered with varnish of a soft peach color, decorated at the tip with a thin silver strip. Stylish and suitable for both a business look and for holiday parties. Spring nails in this version can be afforded by women of any age.
  • The theme of reptiles. The Year of the Snake suggests mentioning the mistress of the year even in nail art. Any hint in nail design of snake skin will be appropriate if it is done with taste and in a gentle, pale color scheme. Combinations of pale green and swamp shades, gray and silver, beige-gray and gold are appropriate. The main thing is that the manicure does not look flashy and bright.
  • All metallic shades. Spring nails in metallic style are the main gray-silver color with a delicate blue or white thin pattern. Today there are silver varnishes that do not have a characteristic shine, that is, matte. These are the ones that will be in fashion this spring.
  • Delicate lace. Spring nails are a flirty pattern in the form of old lace. Of course, only an experienced master can do such a design, but the effect will be stunning. Experts advise experimenting with a lace pattern on classic "French" nails.
  • Flowers and leaves. If it's spring, then spring nails should be in flowers that cover not the entire nail plate, but only part of it. A small flower in the corner of the nail will already create a spring mood, moreover, designers recommend applying a floral-leaf pattern on one or two nails, leaving the others monochromatic. Another ultra-fashionable idea is to cover spring nails with microscopic leaves or flowers only along the very edge, as in the French manicure.

Spring nails are a reason to please yourself with a new, fashionable design that will cause admiration of fans and, perhaps, envy of friends.
