Tips for Keeping Lavender Summer Nails Looking Fresh
Pastel purples can fade faster than deeper shades in strong sun, so finish with a UV-protective glossy top coat and refresh it every few days through the summer. Keep cuticle oil in your bag for beach and pool days, since salt water and chlorine dry the nail out, and store your hands out of direct midday sun when you can so those lilac tones stay true.
From one tiny sprig to a whole field of daisies, lavender proves a soft colour can still make a whole season of statements. Pick your favourite garden, book the appointment, and let your nails drift through summer in purple.
