There are so many nail trends to choose from this spring. From bright, bold hues to fun nail art ideas, we're certainly not short of inspiration for the season ahead. However, as someone who likes something a bit more subtle, I've been searching for the perfect spring nail colour that will brighten up my manicure without being too much this March.
Enter, Blancmange nails. I've been seeing these nails all over Instagram, and as a beauty editor who predicts nail trends for a living, I feel pretty comfortable in saying that this is going to be one of the most popular manicures this season.
What Are Blancmange Nails?
So, what are Blancmange nails? As the name suggests, these nails look pretty similar to the popular French dessert. This glossy, juicy, jelly-like creation may be delicious to eat, but these manicures are even more delicious to look at. They all feature a sheer, pink tint, and the glossy, high-shine finish gives them that jelly-like look that I can't get enough of.
