Oh wow, spring is here! My nails are so ready for this. Pastels everywhere, flowers on everything, the cutest designs you’ve ever seen. I literally can’t wait to show you what I’ve been working on.
So here’s the thing about spring nails. They just make you happy, right? Like when I see cherry blossoms or little bees on someone’s nails I’m like yes, that’s it. The whole vibe changes when you’ve got spring on your fingertips. Your hands suddenly match the flowers outside which sounds cheesy but it’s true!
I’ve been doing nail art for a while now. Not professionally or anything. Just for fun in my room with a million bottles of polish everywhere lol. This season I went kind of crazy with the designs. Tried so many different things! Some worked, some didn’t, but the ones that did are so cute I had to share.
There’s 42 designs here. I know that’s a lot! But spring has so many possibilities you know? Soft colors if that’s your thing. Bright ones if you’re bold. Flowers obviously because it’s spring. Even some funky abstract stuff for people who don’t want typical spring nails.
Easy ones are in here for beginners. Hard ones too if you want a challenge. Short nails, long nails, doesn’t matter. Something here will work for you I promise. Now let me show you all of them!
Blue Checkered Nails And French Tips
This may seem weird but trust me, checkers and the whole cottagecore vibe is totally a spring thing. Checkers look a bit old-fashioned, just in a cool way. The French tips make it not too crazy. When you mix patterns with classic stuff it feels new, that’s what I think.
Colorful Tiny Spring Flowers
Little flowers are the best! They’re cute but not too much. Just make some dots in colors and put some stems or leaves if you want. It doesn’t need to look perfect or anything. Any nail length works, which is good.
Ombre Pastel Tips
So dreamy. It looks hard to do, but it’s not really. Blend some pastels at your tips and you’re done basically. I use a small piece of makeup sponge for each nail. Comes out smooth that way. Add a glittery top coat to make it a bit fancy looking.
Pastel Blue With Florals
Blue is really pretty for spring. People don’t use it enough, I think. Put white or matching pastel blue flowers on it. Super romantic feeling, you know? Good if you want feminine but not like too girly.
Pastel Floral French Tips Lined With Gold
Fancy! The gold line makes it look expensive or something. Do tiny flowers on the tips. Like a garden but elegant. Your fingertips become super pretty and almost vintage looking, basically.
Floral Spring French Tips
French tips are classic right? Just use pastel shades and add flowers to make them spring. Little flowers in different shades go on the white part. You keep the traditional look but update it, which is soo cool.
Blue And Purple Checkered Nails
Checkers are still trending. I’m sooo happy about that. Blue with purple looks cold but pretty, perfect for spring, especially with this shifting ombre effect. If you mess up a bit the checkered hides it anyway. Yay!
Cherry Blossom Nails
My absolute favorite spring thing. Cherry blossoms mean spring to me. So delicate and pretty looking. I do them on neutral base or light pink with soft petals. Pastel pink and white petals work best.
Colorful Thick French Nails
These French tips are on the thick side, not skinny. Different bright colors on each one! Feels fun and modern to me. Every nail gets a different color so you don’t have pick just one.So bright and refreshing after all the winter nails.
Pastel Ombre Rainbow Nails
Rainbows but soft. Each nail goes through different pastel colors. Baby pink, then lavender, mint, then pale yellow. Easter vibes but good ones.
Pastel Yellow Spring Nails
Yellow is so good for spring! This soft yellow looks like sunshine. Keep it simple with just color. Or add white daisies or bees if you want cute.
Pink Flowers And Bees On Off-White Base
Bees are adorable though. Little bumble bees flying around pink flowers! Off-white base makes everything look fresh. So whimsical and fun.
Sage Green Leaves With Ladybugs
Sage green is everywhere now. It’s earthy and pretty, that’s why. Red ladybugs make it like a tiny garden on your nails. Major cottagecore vibes happening.
Skittle French Tips
Every nail gets a different color tip. That’s skittle nails! Colorful but not messy. Pastels for spring but any colors work honestly.
Subtle Pastel Watercolor Design
Watercolor looks artistic. Not hard to do though. You blend soft pastels together in a washy way. Abstract and pretty at the same time, basically.
Vibrant Lavender With Light Blue Detail
Lavender is gorgeous for spring. Light blue accents make it better. The two shades look really pretty together. Dots or lines or flowers with the blue work.
White Polka Dot Nails
Simple is good sometimes! Polka dots on pastels are classic. Use a dotting tool. A bobby pin end works too for perfect dots.
Bright Colorful Blobs
Super fun and abstract, this one. Random colorful shapes like blobs or paint. Great if you’re not precise because it’s supposed to look random.
Cottagecore Pastel Checkered Nails
Soft pastels in checker pattern (yes, again!). Screams cottagecore! Pink, green, lavender in checkers. Picnic in a flower field energy, honestly.
Cute Bunny Faces On Long Stiletto Nails
These are adorable omg. Pink noses and long ears on bunnies! Perfect for Easter or just spring. Stiletto shape makes them dramatic and fun looking.
Daisy Nails With A Hint Of Green
White daisies with yellow centers. So sweet and springy! Put them on nude or light pink. Green stems or leaves make them realistic. Popular for a reason, this design.
Gentle Green Leaves And Tiny Flowers
Really delicate looking. Little green leaves with tiny flowers everywhere. Nature inspired feeling. Pretty but not busy which I just looove.
Subtle Ombre Rainbow Frenchies
French tips that are rainbow ombre! Soft rainbow though. Each tip blends through pastel shades. Looks cool and unique, I think.
Short Pastel Green Nails With Ladybugs
Mint or sage on short nails looks clean. Tiny red ladybugs make it playful. Good for short nails because you still get nail art.
Funky Tie Dye Nails
Tie dye on nails not shirts! Major 70s vibes. Spring colors look really cool. Make it bright or pastel depending what you want.
Minimalist Checkered Nails With Little Flower Accents
Simple checkers with some tiny flowers. Minimalist but interesting still. Not overwhelming which I totally love. Still has personality though.
Short Nails With Pastel Florals
Short nails can do florals too! Small flowers look good on shorter nails actually. Nail art isn’t just for long nails, don’t listen to anyone.
Pastel Blue Frenchies With Checkered Accent Tip
Most nails get soft blue french tips. One accent nail has checkers instead! Combines two trends in one. Ring finger gets the checkered usually for me.
Abstract Watercolor Nails In Spring Shades
More abstract and artsy watercolor. Blend pink, yellow, blue, green randomly. Every nail looks different. Pretty cool, don’t you think?!
Colorful Striped French Nails
The French tips have thin stripes, not solid color. Super fun and different. Horizontal stripes in different colors! Rainbow effect, but structured. Super fun and people always ask about them.
Pastel French Nails With Tiny Florals
Classic pastel French with really tiny flowers. The flowers are so small and delicate. Doesn’t overwhelm anything. Feminine and sweet but not too much.
Subtle Beige Lined French Tips
More neutral and fancy. Beige or nude with thin lines on the French tips. Really elegant looking. Good for spring but also for offices or if you’re just simply a fan of neutral nails.
Green Ombre Tips With White Dots
Tips fade to spring green. Then white polka dots go everywhere. Simple but the ombre plus dots makes it interesting.
Delicate Pink Flowers And Leaves
Soft pink roses with green leaves. Neutral base underneath. Romantic and pretty looking! Garden party vibes or tea party. Keep flowers delicate, not too bold or too big.
Blush And Coral Marble Nails
Marble in spring colors! Blush and coral swirled looks super sophisticated. Marble is easier than you think. Just swirl colors with a toothpick or thin brush.
Neutral Spring Nails With Vertical White Stripes
Nude or beige with thin white stripes going up and down. Chic and clean! Minimalist spring for sure. Goes with any outfit too.
Fun Fruity Nails With Straberry And Lemon Designs
Strawberries and lemon slices are cute! Fun and playful for spring and summer. Not childish though. Fruits are easy to draw, just practice the shapes.
Neutral And Lavender Combo With Glitter
Some nails neutral pink, some lavender. Glitter on an accent nail or two. Really balanced feeling. Not boring, not extra. Glitter adds sparkle but just enough.
Short Cottagecore Checkered Nails With Tiny Florals
Checkers with little flowers mixed in. Major cottage vibes! Works super duper well on shorter nails, but also on long almond shape. Small floral design details fit perfect. Cute and cozy.
Chrome Rainbow Nails
Chrome in rainbow looks cool and futuristic. Each nail has lines of different chrome color – it’s bold, but it works. Or different chrome shade on each nail. Super eye-catching either way.
Funky Abstract Pink And Yellow Nails
Random pink and yellow shapes. No rules really! Great for fun and creativity. Don’t overthink just paint abstract shapes and merge polishes together in an artistic way, using a liner brush. See what happens!
Pink And Yellow Combo On Short Nails
Color blocking with pink and yellow. So cheerful for spring! Half and half or alternate colors. Whatever feels right works. These colors make me happy.
