Back to work Tuesday 7 April 2026. Three discreet spring tones: nude pink, beige and pearl grey. In OPI semi-permanent at €45, wear is 2 to 3 weeks — your nails carry you through to the May 1st bridge weekend without touch-up.
The post-Easter return to the office is a hinge moment. Gone are the weekend's joyful colours, back to the soothing shades that fade into the professional visual. Three tones particularly shine this spring.
1. Nude pink — the year-round safe bet
Nude pink is the salon's most-requested shade, every month included. A simple reason: it flatters every skin tone and dress code. From a strict suit to a jeans-blazer combo, it works everywhere.
Glossy finish for a clean luminous effect; matte finish for a more contemporary rendering.
2. Beige — Parisian restraint
Beige is warmer than nude pink, slightly golden. Ideal for olive and mixed skin tones. It's also the favoured shade of lawyers, consultants and journalists in the neighbourhood — discreet but signature.
3. Pearl grey — the modern signature
Pearl grey is more unexpected. A cool, fine tone that pairs with the navy, light grey and off-white of office wardrobes. For the woman who wants a nude that doesn't look like all the others.
Why OPI semi-permanent?
For the office, OPI semi-permanent ticks every box:
- 2 to 3 weeks of wear with no chipping — no touch-up on meeting day.
- Immediate finish — out of the salon, nails dry, ready to type.
- Gloss or matte preserved until removal.
- 200 OPI shades to choose from at the salon.
Timing maths: 7 April to the May 1st bridge
1 May 2026 falls on a Friday. With Thursday 30 April as a possible bridge day, the long weekend runs from Thursday 30 April to Sunday 3 May. A semi-permanent application on 7 or 8 April holds perfectly until then — you arrive at the bridge with a manicure still flawless.
💡 Tip: our colour analysis tool tells you whether you're more nude pink, beige or pearl grey based on your skin tone. Ideal to avoid mistakes.
The full-treatment option to stay healthy
Returning to the office is also a tidying-up moment. SPA Luxe manicure + semi-permanent at €70 (60 min) includes:
- Lukewarm hand bath, gentle scrub
- Sharp cuticle work
- Oil massage on hands and forearms
- OPI semi-permanent application
One hour to find back the hands you love on the keyboard.
For nail addicts: the nude French
The French design option at +€10 over a nude base remains perfectly wearable at the office. Off-white, beige or pearl grey tip — a classic reinvented without breaking the dress code.
