Coquette nails express feminine aesthetics with ballet-inspired designs, pearls, hearts, and bows. But these sparkly spring nails aren’t only pink.

Spring Cleaning for Nail Enthusiasts
That urge for a fresh start kicks in when the weather warms up, and the bees start buzzing. Take advantage of spring cleaning to straighten out your polish collection and nail art supplies. Here are a few easy tips to make room for new colors and put everything in order.
- Pull out all the polish bottles. Which ones don’t you want anymore? Donate them or drop them off at your community's hazardous waste collection site.
- Polish stays good for about two years after it’s opened. However, it may last longer if properly stored. Make sure bottles are tightly closed and away from sunlight, temperature extremes, and high humidity.
- Grab the lint-free wipes and polish remover. Then, open each bottle and wipe the gunk off the neck. If needed, clean the brushes with a wipe, but don’t get polish remover in the bottle. Lastly, roll the bottles between your palms to mix the pigment before storing them.
- Consider a new storage setup that’s more convenient for your needs. It could be an empty drawer with dividers, a tiered rack, a plastic bin, or a travel container. Just ensure that the polish and supplies are out of reach of pets and children.
- Check your stock of polish removers, files, cuticle oil, etc. Are there any supplies you ought to replenish?
- Clean your manicure tools with rubbing alcohol and store them in a well-ventilated, dry place to prevent rust. If you see a little rust on your favorite clippers, you might be able to save them. Soak them in WD-40 for a few minutes and scrub gently with a toothbrush. Cleanse them with alcohol and let them dry overnight before putting them away.
- Is it time for new bulbs in your nail lamp? If you have a UV lamp, they should be replaced every six months to a year. LED lights may never need a replacement!
- Inspect your nails. Remove the polish and make sure they look healthy, with no brittleness, white spots, or other damage. Next, give them a dose of springtime renewal with nail slugging at bedtime. Wash your hands, apply your favorite hand coil and cuticle oil, and coat them with a thick occlusive layer like Vaseline. Don gloves and prepare to be amazed in the morning.
Our final tip: divide up the tasks so that you can do them for a few minutes at a time instead of all at once. Turn it into a treasure hunt as you re-discover supplies you forgot about.
We hope your spring cleaning makes room for all the colors you’ve been excited to try this season!
