What does Spring remind you of? Flowers, bright colours, the sun in your eye...the list goes on. If you've been struggling with the winter temperatures which just refuse to leave, prepping for your first manicure for Spring season will surely get you feeling all warm and fuzzy! Now on the fashion front, with every cyclical switch comes a whole new retinue of trends. For nails, as we wait for the more obvious tones and textures to trickle into the internet's conscience, the earliest kid on the block is probably already set up to be the least Spring-like. Yet somehow, it makes complete sense to get them before the temperatures soar.

Say hello to soap nails!

What are soap nails?

Think glossy, GLOSSY nails, with a milky undertone. That being said, asking your nail tech for a go at soap nails doesn't restrict you to just a plain white pop. Beiges, pinks and a few other neutral palette shades will still give you the same impact for your tips. What really makes these nails stand out, is a heightened emphasis on the top coat. It's giving endless lip gloss touch ups, but for your nails. The one-of-a-kind name for the mani trend then, is self-explanatory.

A pro-tip in this regard is ditching the almond, coffin and all adjacent sharp tip shapes. What soap nails promise to do for your hands in terms of finish, best stands accentuated with clean oval or rounded tips. Definitely consider the switch for a bit if you like your claws sharp and pointy.

Why should you consider getting them?
