Are you ready to pick out some spring nail designs for the upcoming season? It’s so nice to switch to the light and airy colors of spring. You can do that with more than just your outfits, you can design your nails to match the season as well. Today I’m going to take you through 27 spring nails that are cute and trending.
How to Pick Spring Nails
There’s a great chance that your winter nails have been more dark, possibly holiday-themed, or even giving off minimalist nail vibes throughout the season. But no matter what your nail style was throughout the winter, it’s time to completely change it up for spring.
When spring is on its way, suddenly all the clothing in the stores becomes lightly colored, floral, and airy. Your spring nails should give off the same vibes.
Pastels or baby colors make perfect spring nails and adding on art that looks like spring is a great idea too. Think of flowers, clouds, bunnies, birds, etc. when designing nails for spring.
Today I pulled my favorite 27 spring nails that are cute and trendy for you to pick from. Whether you are hoping to pull these looks off at home or planning on bringing the image to your manicurist, I’m sure you’ll find something you’ll love.
27 Spring Nails to Try Today
Pastel Tie-Dye
From @jennireevenails
This is one of the simpler tye-dye designs to pull off at home, but isn’t it impressive? Pick your three favorite baby colors and put them all on each nail, blending between the colors.
Sage Green with Daisies
From @jennireevenails
Daisies are a super trendy nail art design and can be done so many different ways. Tiny daisies on a light color (but not too light where the flower doesn’t show up) are simple to pull off at home with a toothpick or nail art pen.
Strawberries and Daisies
From @jenniereevenails
The first fruit to get ripe in spring, not even summer like the rest of the fruits, is strawberries! Pair them with daisies for a cute springtime look.
4. Pastel Ombre Nails
From @jennireevenails
Try out these ombre spring nails using a high-quality white (one that is dense enough to provide full coverage with one coat) and some baby colors.
5. Florals in All Colors
From @jenniereevenails
These flowers are almost a blend between daisies and sunflowers but still look very much like spring and not like fall at all. Use two shades of the same color for each flower to create dimension between the petals.

From @jennireevenails
If you or your manicurist is great at painting fine lines and detailed images, give these sweet treat spring nails a try! Baby pink sprinkles, donuts, and candy make an adorable design.

From @jennireevenails
These colors complement each other so well and the plant print is so fun and classy. It almost looks like a cute contact paper you want to put behind your shelves to brighten up the walls. Light purple, light teal, baby pink, white, and black are all you need to pull off this look.
