Bright and Fresh Spring Nail Designs for Your Next Manicure
When the flowers are blooming and the warm weather returns, we know Spring is in the air. It’s time to put away your dark and moody nail polishes and reach for some bright, cheerful nail colors. Whether you enjoy more subtle shades in pastel nail polishes or prefer sparkling glitters, we’ve got your Spring nail art ideas covered.
From simple skittle nails to rainbow ombre nails, read on to take a look at some Spring nail ideas.
Spring has Sprung in Pastel Blue
There’s something about the pastel colors – and in this case, pastel blue – that draws up images of Spring and warmer weather. Add to it a simple butterfly nail art drawn on with a thin nail brush, along with some rainbow glitter, and we think we’ve got a smashing spring nail art look here!
Pastel Rainbow Ombre
Continuing on the pastel color theme, here is another spring nail design that will have you thinking about rainbows and…ice cream?! Grab a makeup sponge to help you achieve a smooth color gradient before topping the look off with a sparkling glitter polish.
These rainbow pastel tips will have you thinking of ice
cream and sorbets to enjoy in the sun. Chang it up with your choice of nail
polish colors to create this look. Don’t forget to add a coat of glitter nail
polish to jazz up the final manicure – you’ll catch yourself constantly staring
at your nails under the sun!
Green and Gold Nails
This Spring nail design is so simple and pretty, bringing together a classic combination of green and gold colors. Check out the sparkle in that gold glitter polish!
Spring Flower Nail Art
If you’re feeling up for some freehand nail art, this one stroke flower design might be for you. Grab your favorite nude base and then use a flat nail art brush to draw the flower on top. Feel free to add some rainbow glitter to help your neutral base color pop a little!
Simple Pastel Yellow Nail Design
We get it, sometimes nail art just isn’t our thing and sticking to simple is so much easier. Take a look at this pastel yellow nail design, which matches so well with gray and beginner friendly nail art in polka dots and stripes. Use thin striping tape to give you a crisp line in your nail art and grab a rainbow glitter for the glitter gradient tips.
Rainbow Glitter on Pastel Polishes
If you’re looking to jazz up simple pastel colors, why not mix it with some rainbow glitter? Have a glitter accent nail, or even create a glitter gradient for a twist on the French manicure nail design.
Spring Fever in Pastel Shades
Want to wear pastel but also want to keep it simple? Pull out your pastel nail polishes for this skittle pastel manicure, which reminds us a little of Easter nails too. All it needs is probably an egg nail art on an accent nail to complete the look for Easter inspired nails!
Poolside Blue
There’s something about this stunning blue paired with iridescent glitter that reminds us of a swimming pool just enticing us to jump into it.
Girly Pink Spring Nails
Here’s a girly combination of pink and white color nail art that is sure to make you think of Spring. We love the easy ombre nail art as a double accent nail look with the polka dots. Add a couple of nail studs to complete your final Spring manicure.
Teddy Nail Art for Spring
To be completely honest, I think the cuteness of this teddy nail art has suckered us in to include it in this Spring nail design list. There’s something just so adorable about this Rilakkuma bear that we couldn’t help but add it in. The green nail polish shade counts as Spring, right?
Floral Nails for Spring
There’s just something about flower nail art that makes us think of Spring. Pair it with a rainbow of colors and we think we’ve nailed the Spring nails brief!
Pastel Animal Print
You might not immediately think of animal print nail art as a Spring nails design, but if you pair it with baby pink and sky blue, we think we’ve got another winner. Add a splash of shimmering white and a cheetah accent nail to complete your nail design.
Pastel Purple and Green Nail Art
This pretty color combination is absolutely stunning. Add some nail studs and a zigzag nail design to complete this skittle nail look.
Glossy Rainbow Ombre
There’s just something so…squishy and glossy about this rainbow ombre nail design. It has a twist on the classic horizontal ombre look and actually creates a rainbow across the hand. Use a glossy top coat to help you get the high shine finish.
Flower Nail Stickers for Spring
Feeling a little overwhelmed with nail art? Just don’t have the bit of patience to wait between coats of nail polish drying? Nail stickers like flower nail decorations will make things a lot easier. You can even opt to have a single base color like pastel blue instead. If you want to completely recreate the look though, tape is your best friend for crisp, even lines. Don’t worry, you can even hide little mistakes with a silver glitter and add some extra detail like the photo below.
Spring Polka Dots
Try out these easy polka dot nails with some pastel color base. Use a nail dotting tool to help you achieve the perfect dots in your Spring nail art!
Blue and girly bow
Combine a baby blue color with sparkling gold polish and a few nail decorations as accents in this gorgeous Spring nail design.
Fresh Mint Green
Pull out a mint green color and pair it with a metallic gold polish to freshen up your nails for Spring. You can grab some zigzag nail tape to create the nail art on an accent nail. Use a quick dry top coat to help lessen the drying time in between coats of polish.
Pink Roses Nail Art
This Spring nail design is that little bit romantic and dreamy, don’t you think? Use a small dotting tool to create the polka dots design and some acrylic paint for the roses nail art. We find it easier to use paint when doing freehand nail art so that you can erase your mistakes quickly with water…without affecting your nail polish base!
