When it comes to nail treatments, manufacturers aren’t just seeing clearly. As the caretaker of your clients’ nails, making sure nails are in a healthy condition to be painted is just as important as the manicure itself.

Spring is all about big bursts of color, so super-size your polish offerings for warm-weather services. Colors run the gamut from shades of Greenery (Pantone’s Color of the Year), to large amounts of lavender and retro-inspired reds. Whether you sketch out or pin up your ideas for spring/summer nails, make sure you go big or go home. Illustrations by Michelle Alane LaPlante // Photography by Kimberly Pham
