Well-manicured nails are a symbol of beauty and good hygiene. In the past, women would go to great lengths to have long, beautiful nails. Today, nail art is a popular way to show off your personality and style. There are many different trends that you can try out this spring and summer. Check these out and see if any might work for you!

French Manicure

The French manicure has always been a classic. It is a timeless look that can be worn for any occasion. This spring and summer, try out a French manicure with a twist. Instead of the traditional white tips, try out a light pastel or glitter color, a glittery top coat, or wavy tips that run around the nail. This will add a bit of fun and flair to your nails without being too over-the-top.

Ombre

One trend we can't get enough of is ombre nails. One of the reasons ombre nails are so popular is because the style is so versatile. You can dress them up or down. They can be bold and colorful, or soft, subtle, and natural. There's just something about beginning in one color and fading into another that has us lining up at the salon.

Floral Nails

Floral nails are always in style, but they're especially popular during the spring and summer. This season, we're seeing a more understated flower, often as a single and in a simple pattern to add a pop of color. And speaking of color, soft powdery colors and neutrals are all the rage. This nail art is a perfect match for those light, flowy summer dresses or super simple beachwear.

Crystal Nails

If you're dazzled by bling then crystal-covered nails are the thing for you! These nails are highly popular this spring and summer, and because of their glistening, captivating charm, we can't even be mad about it. Maintenance on these is high, so if you're not down for spending a lot of time on your nails, this trend might not be for you. If you are though, you can adorn your nails with all kinds of crystals, from big and bold to small and dainty. Ask a local professional, like those at JR's Full Throttle Salon, what kinds of crystals and other add-ons they offer. 

Stamped Nails

With stamped nails, the design possibilities are endless! This is a great way to get complex and interesting designs without spending a lot of time in the salon chair. This year's catwalk featured models with everything from bright colors, to animal prints - a nod to anything fun and frivolous.

Our hands are in the spotlight as we use them to communicate and express ourselves every day. They are a reflection of who we are. Why not try out one of these trendy nail art designs and show the world your personality!
