10 gorgeous velvet nail designs to try this Spring
Velvet fabric may feel too heavy for spring, but velvet manicures have certainly earned their place during the season.
The allure of this manicure finish, with its shimmering, shifting polish, gives nails a polished look that seems like a work of art.
No wonder velvet nails remain one of the top requests in nail salons year-round.
To make velvet nails work for spring, the trick is to choose the right shades.
Pastel hues like pink, purple, blue, green, and yellow are perfect for the season, but neutral tones like cream, champagne, and white also do wonders.
Here are some velvet nail ideas to try out this spring:
Grape Glass Velvet Nails
Bold purple shades can be a bit daring for spring, but with a glassy velvet finish, they'll fit right in. This deep hue brings a rich, glossy look that's perfect for the season.
Pink Velvet Butterfly Nails
Spring is all about transformation, and butterflies symbolize that beautifully. These pink velvet nails featuring delicate butterfly designs are a meaningful way to celebrate the season.
Holographic Velvet Nails
Velvet nails are versatile, working on any nail length, even short ones. Try a pinkish-cream velvet with a holographic touch for a captivating, shimmering finish that looks good from every angle.
Sheer Lilac Velvet Nails
Lilac is a quintessential spring color, and its soft, light purple hue paired with a shimmering velvet finish makes for a gorgeous spring look.

Banksy in Marseille
The anonymous artist has sold his artworks for millions of pounds since 2000s. PHOTO: File A new mural depicting a lighthouse by world-famous street artist Banksy has appeared on a wall in the southern French city of Marseille, with AFP confirming its location on Friday. The anonymous artist known as Banksy revealed the new work on Instagram on Thursday but its location had not been disclosed. The words "I want to be what you saw in me" are stencilled in English across the black lighthouse set against a beige stucco wall. The mural is on a quiet street near the Catalans beach not far from the city centre, according to an AFP correspondent. The lighthouse's painted shadow connects to one of the street bollards lining the sidewalk. Banksy — whose identity has not been publicly revealed — has crossed the globe for decades painting clandestine murals in public spaces, including in the occupied West Bank, London and Los Angeles. "It's fascinating that Banksy chose a city like Marseille, which has so much art, foreigners and life," said Esteban Roldan, a 42-year-old carpenter who came to see the artwork. "This is huge, Banksy in Marseille," added another local, Virginie Foucault. She said she was having lunch nearby. "I thought to myself, 'I'm not going to find it in Les Catalans,' and then, by chance — I never go there — there it is. We love it, we love it!" Banksy is best known for hard-hitting murals, often using a distinctive stencilling style, that frequently pop up on buildings and walls. In recent years, he has kept the attention of the contemporary art world with his social commentaries and causes — migrants, opposition to Brexit, denunciation of Islamist radicals - while still stirring the excitement of the moneyed art markets. The artist boasts an A-list client lineup and has sold his works for tens of millions of pounds at auction since the early 2000s. afp

‘One in a billion': French stuntwoman putting fizz into Hollywood
EPERNAY: When Sarah Lezito began messing around with motorbikes at 13 she never dreamed that one day she would become the stunt double of some of Hollywood's biggest stars. The French winemaker's daughter has stood in for Scarlett Johansson – twice – on 'Avengers 2' and 'Black Widow' and appeared in a dozen films including 'The Batman'. The 32-year-old is one of a very rare breed of motorcycle stuntwomen, with a massive social media following that helped bring her from the vineyards of France's Champagne region to Hollywood. AFP caught up with her on her own personal training track amid the otherwise tranquil vineyards near Epernay, the Champagne capital in northeast France. Barely astride her red chrome Kawasaki, she was off down the track performing stunts with disconcerting dexterity, her long brown hair trailing out of her helmet in the wind. 'This is kind of my temple,' she said after performing a series of gravity-defying tricks including standing with both feet on top of her 200-kilo (440-pound) machine and then flipping herself onto the handlebars. 'People think I'm working, but it mostly allows me to release all the pressure,' said Lezito, whose lucky charm – a plastic beaded bracelet – is wrapped around the throttle of her bike. 'Doing wheelies in a field' The woman now popularly known as the 'world stunt champion' (although there is no recognised world championship) began her acrobatics career young on the family holding near Epernay. 'I fell into stunts by watching videos,' she told AFP. 'No one in my family was in the motor sports world. My father only had an agricultural quad, not at all made for sports, but I started trying to do wheelies with it in a field.' Then she began posting her stunt videos on YouTube. But she seemed destined to follow her family into wine and viticulture until she posted a video of a medley of tricks one day in March 2013 called 'One out of Billion Girls'. 'It was thanks to this video that they noticed me,' she said. The 'they' being the team from the Hollywood blockbuster 'Avengers 2'. A few months later, she abandoned her winemaking studies to fly to South Korea to perform Johansson's stunts in the movie. Dior shows Maria Grazia Chiuri's cruise collection in Rome Because she 'adapted quickly' to stunt work, Lezito decided to go professional, appearing in several major movies, including 'Inferno', 'Millennium' and 'The Batman' with Zoe Kravitz. 'I met all the actresses I've doubled for,' she said. 30 million followers She has had her moments on some of the movies, although she insists she has never felt fear on those she does 'at home' for social media. 'I had to ride through flames for 'Bad Girl', a film which was never released. On paper, it was very simple, but I didn't have a helmet,' she recalled. And in the summer of 2023 while filming David Fincher's 'The Killer' in Paris, starring Michael Fassbender, Lezito had a severe fall. 'I flew off the motorcycle, I wasn't going very fast but fast enough to land on my head and the helmet cracked.' She ended up in the emergency room with a head injury. It 'made her think', she told AFP, and she 'decided to take a break' and put her Hollywood career on hold. Lezito now devotes herself to her social media channels, posting videos of her stunts to her more than 30 million followers – including 9.5 million on Instagram, some two million more than MotoGP star Marc Marquez. Her garage doubles as a studio, with her YouTube trophies and gifts from her fans displayed on the walls. But it is also where she gets her hands dirty repairing her fleet of roughly 10 motorcycles. 'As long as I enjoy sitting on the motorcycle, I'll keep doing this,' she said.

Dior shows Maria Grazia Chiuri's cruise collection in Rome
PARIS: French fashion house Dior showed creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri's cruise 2026 and fall-winter haute couture 2026 collections at a fashion show in the gardens of the Villa Albani Torlonia in Rome on Tuesday at night. Guests sat under transparent umbrellas as models marched past on a gravel walkway lined with hedges. They paraded sheer gowns covered with lacework, textured dresses with rows of ruffles and long, tailored coats - mostly in white, ivory and nude colors. A sharp-shouldered trench coat, military jackets and tailcoats over skirts brought contrast to the airy looks, as did a few dresses in red or black velvet. Billie Eilish takes top prize at American Music Awards After the show, Chiuri rounded the gardens for her bow as the audience stood, cheering and clapping, while mist rose from the gardens. The catwalk presentation, which drew on references to Italian cinema and theatre, follows last week's cruise fashion show from Louis Vuitton, another LVMH-owned label, in Avignon, France. The shows come as the luxury industry grapples with a prolonged slump in business, and a number of high-end fashion labels are seeking new creative direction to reignite interest from shoppers.
