It’s been a while since we’ve spotted a nail trend that we consider truly noteworthy. Over the winter, we stuck to classic shades, like burgundy, chocolate brown and pillarbox red, but, as we start to embrace all that spring has to offer, something a little more playful has caught our eye: watercolour nails.

Between work, social engagements and general life admin, it’s difficult to schedule in regular beauty appointments, let alone stay on top of “upkeep”.
