The glorious optimism of spring is a common theme in nail salons, and it's not that hard to see why — the sun is out, we feast our eyes daily on budding flowers, lush leaves, butterflies and first red fruits of the season; so much beauty and life coming up at once, everywhere.

Our love and celebration of flowers can be spotted everywhere, from the catwalk to our skincare, to fragrances. Botanical nail designs tend to start popping up just as the first cherry blossoms start sprouting toward the sky. Look at how nail artists interpret spring, and join in for this fragrant dance of fruits, colors and flowers.
