Floral prints are always a big fashion story for spring, but this season they’re going to be big on your nails, too.

Sharmadean Reid, owner of London nail boutique Wah Nails, says: ‘Floral designs are being painted intricately onto nails, taking their influence from Marimekko and Liberty prints. We’re already seeing requests for rose prints, too, that will no doubt sky rocket in 2011.’

It’s a trend stylish celebrities have been rocking for a while — with singers Katy Perry, Beyoncé and actress Blake Lively all sporting ­heavily embellished talons.

The good news is that if you can’t afford a pricey manicure, there are lots of DIY kits enabling you to create your own nail art.

Wah nails has just released a pen with beauty brand Models Own, which is a snip at £6 (modelsownit.com), or try Nail Rock (£6.50, topshop.com) — the sticker-style overlays come in an array of prints including florals and polka dots.

Just don’t don your floral frock with rose-bud nails, or you’ll risk ­looking like a display from the ­Chelsea Flower Show.
