How to Keep Spring Florals Looking Fresh
Fine floral art deserves a good seal: ask for a glossy top coat over the finished design and refresh it every few days so the petal edges do not wear away. Pastel shades show every chip, so keep nails at a practical length, wear gloves for gardening and cleaning, and use cuticle oil daily to keep the colours looking bright against healthy skin.
From a single daffodil accent to a whole ditsy-print bouquet, April nails are spring at its prettiest. Save your favourites, book that appointment, and let your manicure do the blooming.
