You've probably noticed that all day today we've been on a Spring buzz. We're just so excited it has finally arrived, Yay! This is my favourite time of year as it marks the return of pastels and florals and playful brights. It also marks a change in beauty regime, time to get rid of my chipped burgundy nails and bring in something bright and new. So I've rounded up 16 of the prettiest Spring Nail Ideas for 2015 as inspiration for an evening on front of the tv, or to cut out and keep for the next manicure at the salon. What do you think?

- To Buy or Not To Buy from Essie is a gorgeous lilac shade with a touch of shimmer perfect for Spring.
- Essie's Rock the Boat, a shimmering french blue and Pink About It with flecks of glitter are great paired together like this look from Sonailicious
