Tips for Making Simple April Nails Last

Pastel polishes can look streaky in one coat, so build the colour in two or three thin layers and finish with a glossy top coat to level the finish. April showers mean extra hand-washing and damp gloves, both of which lift polish at the edges — seal the free edge when you apply your top coat, refresh it midweek, and keep cuticle oil in your bag so spring art stays glossy between appointments.

From a single daisy on a matte pink nail to a full set of sky-blue French tips, April nails are all about keeping it light. Pick the design that matches your spring plans and enjoy the freshest palette of the year.
