Save these to try at home or bring them along as inspo for your next salon visit.
Floral nails
This 'dotticure' is a fun one to DIY — just grab a toothpick to create the playful daisy French tips.
The unofficial spring flower makes for the perfect manicure. Keep your tulips all one colour or mix and match pastel shades for a fresh spin.
A maximal take on a minimal concept — build your florals out of rhinestones for full sparkle and shine.
The embodiment of a beautiful warm, sunny day — these bees and flowers might just inspire a trip outdoors.
3D Nails
Take your floral nails up a notch with this 3D design. Mix and match the colours to suit your summer palette.
Beach, please! These 3D seashell nails are made for manifesting a coastal summer and ocean views.
Fruits are in season! When you can't pick a fave, try them all with this playful 3D fruit manicure.
Themed nails
Fairycore had its moment, but these butterfly wing nails are still a beautiful pick for spring and summer.
Whether you're heading to a music festival or the Cowboy Carter tour, this mani is perfect for the country lovers.
At the end of the day, girls will be girls. This mani puts a floral twist on the 2024 coquette trend, with soft pinks and whites.

Ag producers inviting Albertans to experience farm life this weekend for Open Farm Days

Charlotte Wasylik, a member of the family-run Chatsworth Farm near Vermilion, Alta., pets a pig on Aug. 14, 2025. (Miriam Valdes-Carletti / CTV News Edmonton) Alberta's agriculture producers are preparing to welcome guests this weekend for the 13th annual Open Farm Days. 'It's really about getting all the items in place: moving all the pens around, setting up all the signage, moving bales around, … giving (the yard) that final polish,' said Charlotte Wasylik, a member of the second-generation Chatsworth Farm northeast of Vermilion, during an interview on Thursday. 'A lot of gardening, a lot of weeding, a lot of watering,' added her mom, Johanna Wasylik. 'I also make the condiments for our hot dog barbecue, so making lots and lots of hot dog relish and quick pickled red onions and sauerkraut and red water pickles.' 140 farms across the province welcoming guests on Saturday or Sunday. 5 Open to guests on Saturday, Chatsworth Farm is hosting farm tours, machinery and sheep shearing demonstrations, cooking lessons, live music by Edmonton-based duo the Western Thistles, and more. 'Everything that we add to our Open Farm Days, there's a connection. The rock painting we're doing for kids… the rocks are from our fields,' Charlotte told CTV News Edmonton. 'One of the food truck vendors, they're serving our hot dogs made with our beef. And the equine demos, the horse trainer, Megan, she's actually the trainer of my horses. The sheep shearer is actually our sheep shearer.' She said it's an exciting time to be a farmer and participating in Open Farm Days because of the rise in popularity of farming and homesteading on social media. 'Not a lot of people are connected with farms or where their food comes from. So this really gives people the chance to experience it.' The theme for this year's event is 'Water, the lifeblood of every farm.' Admission is free. More information is available online. Open Farm Days falls at the end of Local Food Week.
