One of the hottest trends this spring is the 'ombre' pedicure. This technique involves gradually changing the color of your nail polish from light to dark, creating a gradient effect that mimics the natural look of a sunset or a gradient of spring flowers.

Pastel Shades

Pastel shades are a spring staple, and they're not going anywhere this season. From baby pink to mint green, these soft hues are perfect for those who want a subtle pop of color on their toes.

For a unique twist on the classic pastel pedicure, try a 'negative space' manicure. This involves painting your nails with a pastel shade and then using a small brush to create a design in a contrasting color, leaving the pastel shade as the 'negative space'.

Neon Brights

If you're feeling bold, neon brights are a fun and eye-catching trend for spring. These vibrant shades are perfect for those who want to make a statement with their pedicure.

For a neon pedicure with a twist, try a 'glitter gradient'. This involves using a glitter polish in a neon shade to create a gradient effect, starting with a light glitter at the base of your nail and gradually building up to a dense glitter at the tip.
