Tips for Making Purple Spring Nails Last

Pastel purples can look streaky, so build them up in two or three thin coats rather than one thick one, and finish with a glossy top coat to keep lilac looking fresh. Floral accents last longest when painted over a fully cured base, and a little cuticle oil each day stops lighter shades from looking dull between appointments.

Soft lilac or bold violet, daisies or butterflies – purple spring nails adapt to whatever the season brings. Choose the shade that suits your mood and enjoy a manicure that blooms for as long as the garden does.
