Lavender nails are having a moment right now, which is hardly surprising given how liberating it is to shrug off winter's heavy clarets and navy and embrace pastels come spring.
Now that the days are longer and evenings are lighter, lavender is storming to the forefront of current nail trends. In fact, lavender and lilac nails have seen a 100% increase in Pinterest search.
Moving away from saccharine pink, lavender is that perfect between season shade. How to wear it? There are no hard and fast rules. Metallic finishes are in the mix or make like nail queen Bettina Goldstein and mix varying intensities of lavender with other pastel shades. That said, almond shaped and super glossy seems to be the winning vibe for the trend. Keep scrolling for some of the best lavender nail inspiration...
