Spring is approaching, and with it comes a fresh wave of colour, creativity, and playful moments. What better to showcase this than on your fingertips. Nail art has become the ultimate accessory, and spring is all about pastels, florals, and unexpected textures. Whether you're a minimalist who loves an accent nail design or a trendsetter who embraces bold patterns and 3D details, these sprig nail ideas are the the perfect twist to the season.
3D-Sculpted Flowers
These current favourites are custom detailed flowers that are hand-sculpted directly on the nail using sculpting gel and then painted over often using bright or pastel colours.
Cherry-themed
This nail design is a fun and fresh choice for the season, adding a bright and playful twist to your nails. Often inspired by popular fruit, this design makes for a juicy set. Suitable for the season, cherries are a go-to choice with almond shaped nails.
Floral Accents
If you want something more subtle, nude nails with floral accents will be the perfect go-to as it balances sophistication with playful details, making it suitable for any occasion. The current go-to subtle design is a floral french tip with tiny floral designs at the tips of the nails.
Pastel French Tips
If you want a classic french tip with a twist, then pastel french tips with pastel shades like baby pink, mint green, lavender, or light yellow will be the perfect choice for Spring while offering a modern soft twist to the classic french manicure.
Soft Aura Design
Aura nails are a favourite go-to as the nail design is made up of softly-blended, aura-like orbs of colour. The aura nail trend can be seen as the upgraded version of ombre nails.
