There is bound to be a style that suits your personality, from variations on traditional French tips to pastel colors and floral-adorned nails. Thus, gather your manicure supplies and be motivated by these eleven lovely spring manicure styles that will serve you well all year. Visit the Maby blog to discover the most trending nail designs today.
Florals
Soft flower nails are the epitome of spring. Additionally, consider using floral nail stickers and gems instead of painting on little flowers. You’ll have a gorgeous spring manicure that will get you comments.
Editor’s advice: Maintain a bare basis and decorate it with lilac, yellow, and white floral patterns. For a neat and stylish appearance, apply the stickers directly to the center of the nail from the base to the tip.
Holographic
We adore seeing holographic nails now that they are back in style. The shimmering manicure is a perennial favorite that looks stunning in vivid hues, deep tones, and everything in between. If you enjoy having short nails, this manicure is ideal because even the most subtle patterns will make a statement about your appearance.
Remixed french tips
Every season, we update the traditional look of French nails. And the French chevron manicure, which calls for making a deep triangle dip in the center of the tip, is the subject of our class’s current infatuation. For the desired effect, this may work best with medium-length and longer nails that are more stretched.
Editor’s advice: You can go for brighter colors and vibrant chevron tips or stay with a nude or light pink base with the traditional white lead.
Pastel houndstooth
Certain prints are so classic that it doesn’t matter what color or season you wear them — they look stunning. Houndstooth is one of those patterns, and when done in a fresh springtime pastel, it pops against any skin tone. Try an all-over manicure in print or just as an accent nail.
Negative space
Negative space manicures offer fun ways to spruce up your natural nails since the style only requires shapes, patterns, and nail polish on some regions of the pin. You can use a negative space design to incorporate two hues (a lighter and darker shade of the same color) and create fantastic abstract shapes for a chic manicure.
Spring-inspired indie designs
One of the most popular trends right now is mismatched nails. When getting your next manicure, experiment with alternating colors and patterns for a stylish approach to stand out. Use shades from the same color family if you want to keep your appearance understated yet adore the idea of independent nails. For a gradient effect, pick a few brighter and darker shades of a single color, or attempt a different design on each nail while sticking to a black-and-white color scheme.
Abstract art
Create your mini-masterpiece by experimenting with bold spring nail colors (like yellow and emerald green) and shapes during your next manicure. You can also use nail stencils to get crisp and even lines.
Smiley faces
Smiley face nails might have you singing “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” all day long, and it’s a style we love. Try painting a few pins with a solid yellow polish and play up your other nails by keeping them bare and adding a few smiley face stickers to deck out your mani.
Fruit-inspired art
Spring is a time to get excited about all the fruits that don’t hit your palate the same way during cold weather. If you’re anything like us, you may get so excited that you want to rock them on your nails. Take a trip to the farmer’s market to get inspired, or check out this set of gel tips that make us want an agua fresca, stat.
Paint splatter
A paint splatter manicure is one of the most straightforward designs to try on your own, especially if you need to improve at nail art. Since it has that, ideally, imperfect look, you don’t need to worry about being precise. Try some fun, bright colors like neon pink, yellow, and chartreuse or soft shades like baby pink, powder blue, and violet. Just remember to finish any design with a top coat.
Light purple butterfly nails
The ideal nail art for spring is the butterfly, which is everywhere. Any pastel hue goes well with them, but I adore them in lavender. These are obviously nails that you should have done by a professional, but since you can wear a press-on all spring long, I’d choose them in this situation.
