Spring is in full bloom - and that means it’s time for outdoor brunches, weekend road trips, and sun-soaked picnics in the park. As your wardrobe shifts to lighter fabrics and brighter colours, your nails deserve a seasonal refresh too. A spring manicure should be fresh, cheerful, and durable enough to keep up with your on-the-go lifestyle. Here’s how to achieve the perfect look for all your spring adventures with Semilac.

Soft Shades & Playful Pastels

Pastel nails are a springtime staple. Think powdery pinks, baby blues, lavender lilacs, and creamy mints - all ideal for capturing the lightness of the season. These colours are not only flattering on every skin tone, but they also pair beautifully with floral dresses, denim jackets, and picnic blankets. For a trendy twist, try a gradient ombré effect or a simple pastel French tip.

Floral & Gingham Accents

Add a little charm to your nails with subtle spring-inspired accents. A daisy on one nail, a leaf on another — even a gingham pattern (just like your picnic blanket!) can be a delightful touch. Nail stickers or stamping plates make it easy to create these details without a salon visit. If you’re feeling bold, alternate accent nails with full-colour pastel shades for a playful yet balanced look.

Go for UV Gel – Long-Lasting & Travel-Ready

If you’re planning a weekend away or an all-day picnic, the last thing you want is chipped polish. That’s why a UV gel manicure using Semilac’s UV gel formulas is the perfect choice. It ensures long-lasting shine and durability, even if you're setting up tents, opening picnic baskets, or chasing after frisbees. Don’t forget a strong base coat and top coat to keep your nails flawless for longer.

Short & Sweet

For spring outings, practical nail length is key. Short to medium-length nails are stylish, easy to maintain, and less likely to break when you’re on the move. Keep them neatly filed in a soft square or almond shape for a polished but natural look.

Finish with Freshness

Seal your spring manicure with a glossy or semi-matte top coat for that clean, fresh finish. Consider adding cuticle oil to your routine as well - it keeps your nails looking nourished and picture-perfect, no matter how breezy your day gets.

Whether you’re heading to the countryside or lounging in the park, your nails can be just as carefree and radiant as your spring mood. With Semilac, a perfect picnic manicure is always within reach.
