This is a great Easter nail color, but it’s honestly beautiful any time of the year! You could do it shiny or matte for extra oopmh.

‘These nails are so darling! I’m thinking these daisies are stickers that you can buy, but you’ll want to finish your nails with a top coat to seal everything in.
This design is so cool. These are most likely press-on nails or are done professionally (I mean come on, these look super difficult) but I personally think it’s worth it!
I’m thinking these are stick-on nails or professionally done as well. These flowers are so intricate, but are definitely something I want to try!
