Tips for Making Holiday Nails Last

Holiday nails work hard — sunscreen, salt water and suitcase zips all take their toll — so opt for gel or a hard-wearing top coat and reapply it every couple of days to seal the edges. Pack a mini file and a matching polish for quick chip repairs, and choose slightly shorter, rounded shapes if your break involves swimming, sports or adventure activities.

From a single hot pink tip to a full psychedelic daisy swirl, there is a spring break set here for every kind of getaway. Book the appointment, pack the sunglasses and let your nails start the holiday early.
