Luckily for us, the cold winter months are nearly over, and spring is just around the corner. With the new season also comes new nail designs and inspiration to match. So, whether you’re looking for a fresh set for the new season, or some nail art inspiration, we’ve got you covered.
Gems
Our first nail inspo look is super glam and very eye-catching. These nails rock an illuminating green ombre nail tip with some 3D nail accessories to accompany them. The ombre nail effect is a classic and one that always goes down a treat for its natural but dressy appearance.
Green is on trend for the season of spring as it resembles the colour of growth that this season manifests. To achieve the 3D effect that these nails style such as the pearls and bow jewels, you can simply use some nail adhesive to stick some glamorous and bold accessories onto your nails. This will help to level up the set and make them look super glam and fancy. These nails are very eye-catching and perfect for the new season.
Sparkling Flowers
We couldn’t have a spring nail inspo look book without including some flowery designs within our top picks. This next set is absolutely gorgeous and gives off almost bridal, angelic energy as the manicure includes a white sparkly French tip in an almond-shaped nail with white dainty flowers running down the side.
This manicure nail art is very advanced so some trial and error may be expected when trying this nail design for the first time. But don’t let that dishearten you, once perfected these nails will look incredible and can be worn in a variety of shades. Feel free to spice it up with some alternative colours if that’s more of your vibe as this nail look is very versatile.
We recommend using a nail pen for this design as it is very fiddly and precise so a nail pen would be your best bet. Alternatively, a thin nail brush would also do the trick to create the small petals of the flowers. We recommend taking your time with this design as it requires patience and a steady hand.
Pastel Daisy
If you loved the idea of having some flowers on your spring manicure but our previous look was a little too fiddly and precise for your liking, this next look might suit your taste better. These nails are short and boxed-shaped with a pastel purple tip that has a daisy cartoon on one of the nails on each hand. These nails look really fun and groovy and are a perfect look for our lovers of all things minimal and chic.
The pastel tip on these nails is super easy to do, all that is needed is a thin nail brush and the nail polish of your choosing. For the daisy, you can buy nail stickers that look like daisies and simply stick them onto your nails. This is a super easy and quick way of achieving the look and doesn’t leave anything up to chance as you are guaranteed to achieve a beautiful manicure set regardless of your artistic abilities.
Purple Ombre
If you’re a fan of classic nail colour and want to keep your nails looking professional, this purple ombre manicure is perfect for you. This ombre look is super easy to achieve, even though the results look like it requires more effort than is needed.
All you need for this look are the colours you wish to choose and a sponge. Simply paint your base in your desired colour and then apply the colours you want in the ombre on the back of a sponge. Then simply dab your sponge onto the top of your nails to create the ombre effect. And voila, your ombre nails have been created.
This manicure set is super pretty and very stylish. It can be worn all year round and would look incredible in the summer too thanks to the bright combination of colours.
Yellow Butterflies
We are obsessed with this next manicure set look; it is incredibly cute and oozes spring energy. This pastel yellow manicure with a yellow butterfly on top is undeniably cute for the season of spring. The colour yellow reminds us of easter and easter egg hunts, so having a little butterfly on top ties in that theme nicely and gives off a lovely feel to the manicure set.
For your yellow tips, simply trace out where you want to apply the coloured tip with a thin nail brush and paint in the colour of your choosing. For the added butterfly accessory, nail glue is all you’ll need. This look is super easy and super adorable, perfect just in time for spring.
Pastels and Pinks
The final look that has given us some inspiration for our spring nails is a collection of manicures that are sheer, pink, pastel and accessorised.
For the nails with the coloured tips, as previously mentioned all you’ll need is a handy nail brush tool that is thin and can cut the tips of your nails nicely with a thin line for the coloured top.
If the sheer reflective nails caught your eye, then don’t panic, they aren’t as hard as they may appear. All you need is a lovely sheer nail polish that will be able to give you that sheer reflective aesthetic.
For the starry accessories, you can purchase some stick-on gems or stickers to help create this effect. You can also use a nail pen to doddle the designs that you want on your nails. Using a nail pen will give you the freedom to be creative with your designs and not be dictated to by the stickers or gems that are available.
