Dreamier shades of purple are perfect to adorn your fingertips in the spring – so, we’ve collated the 25 light purple nail designs worth recreating at the salon.
Springtime calls for all the fashion cliches to be brought to your fingertips: bring on the florals, pastels, and other lighter shades to contrast the festive and dark colors of winter months.
Among many classic springtime nail designs is a fairly newly popular nail color – lavender. This whimsical shade started gaining traction with the surge of y2k fashion, and we predict it’s here to stay.
Like many other pastel shades, light purple nails look gorgeous when paired with dainty nail art elements like dotted flowers, marble effects, and silver and gold accents. Take a look at the 25 gorgeous designs below to narrow down the choice for your next manicure.
