any more, Instagram has been awash with the prettiest of nail trends. Introducing the oh-so sophisticated, soft pastel manicure currently taking social media by storm. We’ve seen a multitude of variations from candy tips on a bare base to gradient manis donning lilac, lemon and baby blue tones. ‘Pastels are the perfect pantone for the spring/summer season,’ says session manicurist, Michelle Humphrey, ‘as the sun starts to shine, we all want to brighten up a little.
If you want to make things a little more interesting follow Michelle’s tips to create some beautiful pastel nail art…‘For an easy option, try a pastel gradient mani,’ suggests Humphrey. ‘This is where each nail is a different pastel shade – choose between five and ten.’‘Pastel ombre can be created really easily using a make-up sponge. Apply a base coat, allow to dry thoroughly, then sponge on your chosen shade up to 1/3 of the nail. Clean up any polish from the skin using a Q-tip.
Top trick? ‘Always layer colours with stronger pigments over the top - you can figure out whether a colour is well pigmented by testing it; if it goes on thin and streaky use it as a base colour instead.’
