These bright and colourful nails are inspiring our next mani appointment (and filling us with joy)

Picture this. It’s your first nail appointment in four long months. You confidently choose the colours you’re getting (you’re indecisive, that never happens). It’s a selection of the brightest colours going (you’re a nude person, that never happens). Life is great.

We’ve been pining for the pastel trend for weeks but now salons are actually open and we’re heading for our most colourful mani to date. Maybe it’s the excitement, maybe we all just need a pick me up after 4 months of non-stop doom and gloom – either way, the mood-lifting effects are welcomed with open arms. It’s scientifically proven, too. Bright colours can help you feel energised and generally happier.

Plus, they look pretty darn good. Go full summer with tie-dye nail art, switch up your French mani with rainbow tips or bring back the skittles mani. Whatever you pick, ditch the nude and make it colourful.

Six nail shapes you need to know before your next nail appointment 02/10/2019

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-epsTD5A9D8 Round The simple, low maintenance shape Short and sweet, round nails are smoothed into perfectly round semi-circles. They’re the most durable - and therefore low maintenance - shape. No need for nail extensions, an express gel mani is all you need for this one. Square Good for short nails. Exactly what it says on the tin, nails are filed flat on top with squared-off corners. If you have slender fingers and narrow nail beds, this shape will be extremely flattering. If not, it can make fingers appear shorter. Almond Born in the 90s and still going strong …

You should go for yellow acrylic nails at your next mani appointment 24/07/2018

The sun is shining (somehow), and I’m drinking iced coffee by the bucketload – hoorah for summer. Though I’m not one to match my mani to the weather report, we’re stating it now: yellow nails will lift your mood. The new nail trend is replacing Millennial Pink as 2018’s ‘it’ colour, the Gen Z polish if you like. Designers like Calvin Klein have taken it to the runway, and I’m bringing it to the workplace (reality and all that). From pale buttercream to pineapple-toned brights, a quick scroll of your Instagram feed and you’ll spot yellow nails in abundance. Make it…
