“Paying attention to such details can help young yogis during their practice, since they feel good about how it looks, or because people noticed their awesome nails,” says Kim D’Amato, founder of PRITI NYC, a “green” brand of vegan, non-toxic, 5 Free nail polishes, which means they’re completely non-toxic.

What’s trending now. Spring trends are hot pinks and fluorescents as well as dark colors, such as blacks and dark navys. Nail art is another huge trend, particularly accenting with geometric shapes.

Mix it up. It’s fun to paint one accent nail in a lighter color or do nail art with a fluorescent accent.

Stand out. Dark metallic colors shine against sun light. You can also wear a different color or multiple colors on each nail.

Coordinate from head to mat. I love when things match and are balanced. I pair my nail color with my mat most of the time.  Painting your nails should be fun. You can match any color or style to any mat. The most important thing is that you think it rocks.
