Who says you have to stick to a pink color palette? This manicure by @mai_nails_tunbridge_wells is definitely proof that Mother’s Day nails come in all colors. Plus, it also blends flowers and glitter, and it just doesn’t get much more fun than that. @mai_nails_tunbridge_wells
This Mother’s Day nail art is so subtle and so pretty. Admittedly, @beautybyannecy has some serious skill, because her tulips are pretty much flawless, but, you can get a similar look by using nail stickers. @beautybyannecy_
Check out this spring pastel manicure by @silkbeauty.uk. She went with different shades of pink and purple, but you can go with whatever hues you like best. She also added floral designs on four fingers, but it would be just as pretty without them. @silkbeauty.uk
This Mother’s Day manicure has it all: pastels, flowers, and “mom” written across the thumb. You’ll need a steady hand to get the look (there’s a lot of detail in this design), but this video tutorial can certainly help you with that. Hotpinkzebrapolish / YouTube
