Start saving your spring nail design inspo now to allow you enough time to not only make a decision on the color and design, but to also make an appointment with your manicurist!

And what better way to ring in spring than with a fresh set of nails that you can have to coordinate with your spring outfits?

As the flowers start to bloom, so will your nails. This design has a clear base with beautiful pink flowers in the corners, which will match any pink outfit you wear this spring.

♬ Sunshine – WIRA

As the TikTok mentions the creator’s inspiration, this nail design will pair perfectly with any floral top you want to wear as a part of your ‘fit this spring. It has a light pink base with light pink roses (and green leaves) loosely drawn on top. It’s subtle, but will pull your whole look together.

Spring Butterfly Nails

This has to be one of my favorite spring nails I’ve seen. The beautiful butterfly nail design on the ring finger is so detailed, and the sky blue is fitting because when I think of spring, clear skies immediately come to mind.

Lavender Sky Nails

Speaking of skies, this nail design is so elegant! It contains a shiny lavender base with purply-white clouds on top. Plus, two of the nails are ombre, which show the clear base morphing into the lavender sky design.

Green spring nails

♬ Henna Timar – ⭐️

For those that are seeking plain-colored nails without a design to take away from the color itself, these olive green nails are a good choice. The olive green color goes with any brown or neutral-toned outfit, and the color reminds me of an enchanted, woodsy aesthetic.

Short Blue Nails

If you like blue nails, but want shorter nails this spring, then this look is for you. The blue is darker, but still just as pretty. The length is perfect for someone who prefers nails that aren’t too long.

Glittery Abstract Nails

in the sun or w flash?? glitter looks stunning both ways at the end🥹💙🐬✨🦋 shades so into the blue & take a tint 🫶 #kiaraskynails #kiaraskynailspr #nailtutorial #gelnails #nailinspo #glitternails #springnails

Just because it’s spring doesn’t mean we can’t have glitter. These glittery abstract swirl blue nails really do pop. They are so flowy, and the swirl makes me think of the gusting wind in the sky through the meadows.

Clear Floral Nails

If you want a dash of orange this spring, then choose this floral design. It has a clear base and orange, white, and pink flowers. The pastel colors against the clear base really stand out.

Yellow Chrome Nails

One thing we can expect more of in the spring is sunlight, so why not have yellow nails to match? These yellow chrome nails add a nice shine, and can match any yellow piece of clothing or a lemon-themed accessory.

Green French Tips

The first day of spring isn’t the only occasion you can look forward to in March. For those that celebrate, there’s also St. Patrick’s Day. This design features different shades of green French tips, with other nails having overlapping heart designs at the tip. Not only does this design work for St. Paddy’s Day, but it also gives off major Buttercup vibes from The Powerpuff Girls.

Lavender French Tips

This year in March, we also have Easter for those that celebrate. This design shows lavender nails with glitter. One nail is completely covered, while the others have lavender tips. One nail also has a bunny, which is perfect to wear for any Easter celebration.

Pastel Spring Nails

When I think of spring — rather than bold colors — I immediately think of light pastel colors. This nail design represents just that. Why pick one pastel color when you can have them all? Have each nail be a different pastel color (orange, yellow, pink, green, blue, and/or purple) and you can have a mini pastel rainbow on your hands.
