40 Spring Nail Designs and Ideas
1. Light Blue French Tip Nails for Spring
Paintlab
Starting off, we have Paintlab's Moonlit Periwinkle Press-On Nails ($14.99). The tips are a gorgeous baby blue with a glistening sheen to them and they bring the brightness of spring right to your fingertips. You can't go wrong with a classic French tip mani, and this one is not only unique with the blue and pearls, but they make your nails salon-quality (for way cheaper).
2. Pretty Pink Spring Nails With Rhinestones
Paintlab
Also from Paintlab is their Celestial Pink Press-On Nails ($14.99), which are similar to the above nails but shorter and with rhinestones, not pearls. Plus they're a gorgeous hot pink. Both of these press-ons are part of Paintlab's Spring Fantasy collection of nails.Related: 27 Pretty Pink Nails To Inspire You Before Your Next Trip to the Salon
3.Pastel French Tip Spring Nail Design

Keeping the French tip vibes going are these pastel-colored French tip nails for spring! They're very dainty and still somewhat subtle, but they still give you that springy color scheme.
4. Pastel Flower Nail Design
Glamnetic
Flowers? For spring? Groundbreak. But actually, flowers in your spring nail designs are a staple for a reason! These Pretty Bloom ($19.99) press-on nails by Glamnetic are a great way to get a pretty floral design while also not spending a ton of time and money. And if you want to recreate this look at home, make sure to get a detailing nail art brush or flower nail decals!
5. Flowers and Polka Dot Spring Nails
Bellacures
Bellacures, a chain of nail salons, always creates the cutest holiday and seasonal nail design inspirations. For this spring, flowers are a big hit.
6. Pink Rose Bloom Spring Nail Design
Bellacures
If you don't want flowers on every other nail like the one before, this design is a simple rendition of that. With a clean blush pink manicure and a pink rose as an accent nail, this spring mani is adorable.
7. Purple Dots Spring Mani
Bellacures
Another simple spring nail design by Bellacures, these nails are great if you're not a super artistic person. All you need is a steady hand, two shades of purple and a dotting tool (or a dull toothpick).
8. Orange Floral Bliss Spring Nails
Bellacures
This nail design might be hard if you can't draw a mini flower on your nails (and many of us can't). So this is where flower nail decals ($7.49) come in handy. You can get dried flowers or stickers that look like realistic flowers, use clear nail polish and attach them to your manicure. It'll make a simple nail pop for spring!
9. Butterfly Spring Accent Nail
Bellacures
Speaking of accent nails, using a butterfly instead of a flower is another fun way to turn a simple, one-color manicure into something a tad more fun.
10. Delicate Flowers for Spring Nails

While not everyone will be able to paint such pretty (and small) nails on their nails, this spring nail design idea is one for the books! They're gorgeous to look at and your manicurist should be able to recreate it. If not, nail decals will save the day!
11. Blue Pointy Flower Spring Nails

It's always fun to do nails where each finger has a different design or color, and it's even better when, together, they make a gorgeous manicure. With this spring nail idea, you get pointy flowers or daisy-like blue flowers, a French tip and pretty pastel blues. What a roundup!

This design is lovely because at first glance it's clean, chic and spring-appropriate.

See how the greenish glitter on the pink nails matches the pastel green or mint nails? The final result is a cute spring nail look.
21. Pastel Nails for Spring

This one is more than simple, but the final product is a spring dream. Take your five favorite pastel colors and use one color per nail. And the wonderful thing with pastel colors is they all "match" without actually matching.

Similar to the nail design above, these nails and their random lines are easy and simple to achieve but they look pretty and clean for spring.
