Blooming marvellous: Spring '22 nail colour trends


Spring is definitely in the air, and with Easter approaching we're all switching from winter-inspired hues to nail colours that are full of the joys of the season. For spring 2022, brands typically opt for pastels taking inspiration from florals with dream-like qualities.

These are timeless shades that will take us through from spring into early summer, and sure to be in demand from your clients…
