In the ever-famous words of Miranda Priestly: "Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking." Now that the sequel to The Devil Wears Prada movie is about to hit theaters, it feels like there's no better time than right now to quote that iconic line. While florals are in fact a staple of spring (and summer as well), that doesn't mean you can't dress them up and take them to the next level. This is especially true when it comes to floral nail designs: From 3D flowers to dainty drawings, there are so many ways to wear your floral nails that are far from boring, and are, in fact, groundbreaking.
"Floral nail designs always start to pop out once it starts to get warm and spring arrives," says Orange County nail artist Ramon "Prince" Duran. "I think the weather and all the colors that come from spring influence our mood, and it reflects on our nails." Florals can be surprisingly versatile and innovative, too. Long gone are the days of a basic flower design. "3D flowers make a manicure come alive, and then you’re able to decorate the petals with any color," he says. To make them even more versatile, floral designs "can work on most nail lengths," he notes, but if you are opting for a more intricate design, your best bet will be with medium-length nails or longer (any nail shape works).
