Thanks to the mania caused by Chanel’s Jade Vernis last summer paired with the pretty florals and pastel hues set to be big in the fashion world this summer, pastel nails were destined to go stellar. This season green isn’t the only hue though, powder blue, pretty lilac and soft pinks are all on the menu.

Team ELLE don’t know what we used to do before Minx . These transfers take the headache out of trying to perfect an intricate nail design free hand. Rihanna and Katy Perry are major Minx fans.
While we think the patterned transfers are cool, we love the dazzling plain gold look. Minx manicures are available at various nail salons nationwide including Nails Inc ; from £25. -

So we all know Greige is the hot shade for spring/summer, but who wants to wear one shade for a whole season? We’ve been keeping our eye on the A-List recently and they have provided us with evidence that there are not one but six nail shades you can start wearing now and that will take you right through to next autumn. From pretty pastels to out-there transfers, here’s ELLE’s run down of the must-wear shades, the polishes to get your hands on and the A-listers in each colour camp. Now all that’s left to decide is which shade to try first.
