New Year, New Mani | Nail Inspiration

There’s nothing better than taking time for yourself to go and get your nails done. Not only it is nice to take an hour for yourself, but a fresh mani adds so much to an outfit. We all love saving down our favourite Instagram inspo so we can have the freshest design, but narrowing it down, that’s the tricky bit.

Nail art has come on its own and with Spring on the way, you can start going for those pastel colours and playful designs. Not to mention, Valentine’s is fast approaching and then Easter, so you could even opt for a cute theme. Scroll through some of the trending designs we have saved to give you all the nail inspiration you are looking for…

#1 Mix’n Match

If you can’t make your mind up, these mix’n-match designs are everything and very Manchester-esque girl. With so much colour and personality, these are the type of designs that clash so much they end up being complementary to whatever you are wearing. These are a favourite for the GANNI-inspired smiley face.

#2 Pastel Palettes

With sunnier days on the way, we all love a pastel colour palette: blush pinks, lilac purples, and baby blues argh it just catapults you to warmer weather! This soft mix of purple and green in a simplistic pattern is very calming to look at.

#3 Blue Brigade

Electric blue is definitely the colour of the moment, bright, style-savvy and super eclectic. With many people experimenting with different designs this playful heart design break’s up the blue nicely. This is one that definitely adds some voltage to your look.

The classic french tip is a design you can never go wrong with, it never goes out of fashion. But why not add some spritz and sparkle? We have seen chrome tips, multi-colour tips you name it but these gem stars were a favourite this month. It brings a gold warmth to your look, complimenting all of your accessories.
