Why We Love Pastel Purple Nails

What’s not to love about these nails? They’re cute, gentle, and just overall beautiful. Whenever we wear them, we just find them peaceful!

Purple is a strong, bold color, but in its pastel tone it reminds us of stress-relieving lilacs. There’s something decidedly spring-like about this color. 

That makes it one of our favorites for the spring season, but it’s a look that can be worn any time of year!

This versatility is another thing we love so much about pastel purple nails. We can wear them any time and always find them so comforting! They’re also incredibly pretty and distinctly feminine, so if you’re feeling a little girly these may very well be just what you’re looking for!

How to Take Care of Your Pastel Purple Nails

We’ve got a few special tips for you to keep your look fresh for as long as possible!

We all know that prevention is key, so make sure your manicure was properly applied and you’ve got your edges sealed!

Once that’s done, try to avoid anything harsh from contacting your nails. This includes hot water, chemicals, and even the acids from certain foods like fruits or hot peppers or sauces. These things can corrode the top coat and make it easier to damage!

Making sure you have a strong top coat is a key way in keeping your purple pastel nails pristine! Don’t let your nails get too dry either, as dry nails can lead to cracks and chips. You can use cuticle oil to maintain proper hydration.

Last but not least, make sure to keep reapplying your top coat! It can be done every second or third day after you get these beautiful nails done. All of these tips will help you to take care of your pastel purple nails!
