Finally our side of the world is headed towards sunny and fun-filled days. And our nails have a chance to get in on the fun. The latest nail trends for nails this 2013 spring include nail art made up of graffiti lines, colourful animal prints, pops of metallic and tie-dye nails. After completing a refreshing neat manicure at home, you’ll be ready to try these trends out. Let’s take a look at what these exciting trends actually look like:

Graffiti Inspired Nails

For an urban and chic look, street art inspired nail art is currently the rage. You can create your own sleek graffiti patterns using whatever colours you choose.

You can have this done professionally or you can try it at home using a nail art pen. A solid background colour coupled with bright colours for the nail art pattern will give you the effect you are looking for.

Colourful Animal Print Stick on Nail Polish

A fantastic way to getting lovely nail art that is neat and quick is through nail polish strips that you simply stick onto your nails. One of the most popular patterns at the moment is animal print inspired nail art.

This has been made extra exciting by the bringing in of colour that makes these nails perfect for summer time. You could try these patterns out by using Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Polish in the animal print patterns.

Metallic pop

Bronze, silver and gold will never get out of fashion, but the way you use colours is always evolving. For spring 2013 nails, wearing your usual solid colour nail polish with sweeps of metallic colour nail polish  will help you achieve this sophisticated look.

You can have fun with this look by creating clean and sleek lines with metallic nail polish. A metallic French manicure would be perfect for a classy dinner event.

Tie Dye nails a.k.a Ombre

Ombre nail art looks like it is here to stay. Two tone nail art that beautifully blends into each other is beautiful and fun. Popular ombre colours include shades of blue, purples and pinks. However, if you want a more colourful tie-dye look that includes more than two colors, then you can go for it.

The spring 2013 nail trends are both fun and sophisticated and so, you can wear the same nails during workdays as you would over the weekend. Feel free to mix up the trends to give a personal approach to how you follow the trends.

Enjoy!
