Spring is in the air, and it’s the perfect time to refresh your look with some cute spring nails that’ll add a pop of color to your life. We all know how a fresh manicure can elevate your mood, regardless if you do it yourself or go to a salon. In this post, I’ll be sharing 19 unique and adorable spring nail designs that you will want to take as inspiration to your nail technician or attempt to recreate at home.
Don’t want to go to a salon? Get press-on nails
I choose to do my nails at home for many reasons. One of them is that I feel it is a healthier choice for me. And because I do not want to miss out on having extra cute spring nails, I opt for press-on nails. There are many cute and affordable press-on nails out there. My favorite brands are chillhouse, glamnetic, and of course, KISS. I encourage you to try them! If applied correctly, they can last me up to two weeks without any of them falling off. And if one or two do fall off, usually there’s a few extra nails in each box.
Cute Spring Nails to Inspire You
As someone who’s always on the lookout for the next cute nail trend, I’ve curated a list that not only will elevate your nail game but also bring a little spring cheer to your everyday routine. This post is all about cute spring nails.
Mermaid-Themed Nails
These might be the prettiest nails I have ever seen. They look so dainty and elegant. The 3D details create a sense of texture. Perfect for your next vacation and to channel your inner siren.
This type of design can be very hard to DIY, which is why I found these cute mermaid press-on nails on Amazon.
Sleek Silver
Silver doesn’t necessarily scream spring. But picture these nails with a colorful outfit: the perfect mix of cute and edgy.
To achieve this look, I recommend these Glamnetic press-on nails.
Watercolor Nails
Can’t decide on a single color? Then watercolor nails are the way to go. They have an airbrushed look and immediately make me think of cotton candy. This style can also be customized depending on which color you want to be highlighted more.
Marbled Tips
Want to try a unique style? Go for marbled tips–each tip is completely different. And the best part? It can be an easy DIY.
Chrome 3D Nails
Chrome 3D nails are trending right now; for good reason, they are modern and playful. Regardless of the color combination, you’ll have chic and unique nails.
French Illusion
Just like the name states, this nail design gives the illusion of a French tip without using a different color.
Colorful French Style
Looking for a fun spring nail design? Add a pop of color to an otherwise classic style. The best spring-themed press-on nails I found are Confetti Glammentic.
Aura Nails
Aura nails are very similar to watercolor nails but have a different vibe. They are funkier and it’s the perfect way to add more color to your life.
Sunset Inspired
In my head, pastel pink and peach are the colors of spring and summer. This sunset ombre is the perfect spring nails design to show off at brunch or at a work happy hour.
Bedazzled Bliss
If you love a touch of sparkle, then this nail style is for you. Add some colorful or neutral gems and upgrade a set of rose pink or peachy nude nails. The touch of color makes this nail design perfect for springtime. This nail style can be easy to DIY, just order colorful rhinestones and get a neutral non-toxic nail polish.
