As we shake off the remaining chill of March and emerge into April, the renewed life outdoors makes us long to renew things about ourselves, including our manis. Our April nail design ideas reflect the colors and looks of spring — from sweet pastel tones to bright spring blossoms.
Nude Matte & Shiny Black
April is a month of contrasts. One minute, the sun is shining and the next, it's raining. Celebrate the contrasts of the month with these pretty contrasting nails in matte nude and shiny black. We love how the subtle bling adds some zazz.
