Five ideas to try
Pastel gingham
Fine crossing lines look cleanest on one or two accent nails.
Micro daisies
Five small dots and a contrasting centre make an easy flower.
Milky lavender
A translucent lilac wash keeps the effect airy.
Polka dots
Even spacing feels neat; irregular spacing feels playful.
Coloured micro-French
Rotate pastel tips over one consistent sheer base.
Salon-ready brief
What to ask for
“Choose two pastels plus one neutral so a mixed spring set remains cohesive.”
Useful note
Let regular polish dry fully between layers to prevent dragging.
