Beginner mistakes
What to avoid with spring nails.
Spring nails should feel fresh and balanced. Small details, soft color, and clean shape usually look better than too many competing elements.
Using too many pastel colors at once
Pastels are pretty, but too many shades can look busy. Choose one main color story or use pastel accents.
Making floral art too large
Large flowers can overwhelm short nails. Tiny daisies, small petals, and accent nails are often more flattering.
Skipping glossy top coat
A compatible glossy top coat can make simple spring colors look cleaner and more finished when applied and cured as directed.
Ignoring nail shape
Round, squoval, soft square, and short almond shapes usually work well with spring designs.
