Following dry winter months, our nails and cuticles need some sprucing up, even if we've been pretty diligent with hand and nail care, and especially if we haven't. Quick solutions? Yes, there are! Rita Remark, global lead educator and nail artist at Essie, and Thea Green, founder of Nails Inc. share with us how to repair nails with minimal effort and investment, as well as which nail trends are staying for spring of 2023 — spoiler alert — aura nails are still trending, and we've got some aura nail designs here you didn't see coming.
"After a cold winter, nails are usually more brittle and crack prone. It's important to keep your nails and cuticles moisturized. Using a strengthening treatment or base coat under your polish would be helpful in bringing your nails back to life." —Rita Remark, global lead educator and nail artist at Essie. Their Hard to Resist Advanced Nail Strengthener, $11, would be an easy way to incorporate nail care in your day, the hassle-free way. It fortifies and conditions damaged, soft nails for protection, and makes nails noticeably healthier and more resilient in just 3 days of use.
"In terms of nail art trends for spring, it's looking pretty minimalist for spring — the micro French manicure is still going strong; try our Nails Inc. French Mani Hack, $16, for this trend! We're also loving minimal dots at the cuticle, half moon cuticle accents, and also aura nail art is being spotted everywhere." —Thea Green, founder of Nails Inc. Well, we're bringing you some awesome aura nails design ideas, but if you're feeling more French than aura, this recently launched nail polish set is perfect for a quick at-home manicure.
Going for a different pastel color on each nail and adding some small bling to the same spots makes this a fun little nod to use of embellishment in fashion and beauty this season.
