Baby blue, we’ve missed you. While we were off flirting with winter neutrals, we almost forgot how much we love spring nail trends. Pastels and florals may not be groundbreaking, but they offer a refreshing step-change into spring. The new season sees us drop the serious act and get more playful again with lightweight shades and upbeat designs that can help lift our mood.
Not sure what direction to head in? Try co-ordinating your manicure to your spring makeup vibe. If you love a bare-faced look, sheer textures and a little lip balm, then natural-looking lipgloss nails might be more your bag. Or for a mesmerising twist, aurora nails are stunning. If you’re a minimalist, check out our top 10 nail designs on a clear base. And if you want to hit peak spring mode, florals are a given (we’ve rounded up all of our fave floral designs for you here). For something a little bolder, nail accessories have been taking off. And if you simply can’t decide, your nail horoscope can take care of the decision for you. Problem solved.
For the maximalists, 3D designs are everywhere, from sculpted florals to dainty bows. We’ve also been seeing tons of rainbow and pastel chromes, too. Elsewhere, sheer textures in cute colours will become a whole movement. International nail artist, Julia Diogo, spotlit milky lavender as one mani to watch.
But, according to Maria Mukaranda, beauty expert at Cosmetify, after analysing search volume data on Pinterest to reveal the nail designs that will be huge this season, there are 10 designs in particular we’re coveting right now. We’ve rounded them up below alongside some more of our favourite big-hitters.
Here’s the spring nail trends to watch out for…
1. Daisy nails
Florals are an obvious choice for spring, but they’re a classic for a reason. In particular, searches for “daisy nails” are up 177.7% heading into the spring season – making it the most-popular mani right now.
