“Floral prints are dominating the season, with the demand for ‘floral French’ nails up by 767% in the lead-up to spring,” explains Nick Drewe, Trend Expert at Discount Platform, Wethrift. “It’s unsurprising to see the floral trend continue to reign supreme as we embrace warmer weather, blue skies and flowers blooming. This year, we’re seeing nail artists get more creative with their designs, from retro flowers to hand-painted roses.”
With so much flower nail inspo out there, it can be hard to know exactly what to go for, which could in turn lead to feelings of regret as detailed in the first paragraph. If you’re new to the trend or prefer low-key designs, pro nail artist Alyx Lippiat advises to play it safe with pastels. “Think pinks, peaches and mint greens. A baby blue, pastel yellow and lilac also work really nicely and all of the colours mentioned work harmoniously together.”
If you want to add a touch of glam to the design, manicurist Faye Dennis says to introduce a gold chrome outline around the petals. “It works perfectly for a spring bridal manicure.”
