You know that feeling when you get a new manicure and feel like you can conquer the world? We live for that. Now that spring is officially here, it’s time to switch up our nails. Instead of asking your talented nail tech for dark and moody polish, opt for a fresh, spring-esque mani! From floral nail art to barely-there French tips, we have all the inspo for your next nail appointment.

You need to try these nail ideas this spring!

Floral Designs

There’s nothing like floral nail art in the springtime! The options are endless when it comes to flower-adorned nails. You can go dainty or bold and choose from a ton of different colours, depending on your preference. It’s a classic design that is sure to bring you joy every time you look at your hands!

Shades of Blue

Blue seems to be the nail colour of the moment, and it’s just so perfect for spring! From baby blue to cobalt, you really can’t go wrong. If you’re not used to coloured polish, dip your tips into the blue nail trend with a blue French mani.

3D Designs

Why not have some fun with your nails this spring and try 3D nail art? From little charms to designs made with builder-gel, there’s no shortage of options! You can get this done at a lot of salons as its popularity increases, but it may be a good idea to call first, just in case. 

The Bow Trend

Bows are everywhere right now. Embrace the ever-so-popular bow trend with bow nail art! Get a bow on every nail or just an accent nail or two. It looks so dainty and cute!

Neutral Polish

A post shared by NAILS TORONTO 🇨🇦 (@milenas.nail)

There is something so fresh about a manicure topped with a clean, neutral polish. This nail style works all year and feels especially nice in the spring. It’s giving… clean girl. If you want your nails to be extra classy and refined, this is the mani for you.

Barley-There French Tips

A post shared by Majesty’s Pleasure (@majestyspleasure)

With barley-there French tips, you get the best of both worlds. You get the overall neutral look, with a little splash of extra interest. The tip can be any colour you want. The key to nailing (ha) this nail style is the thinner the tip, the better.

Maximal

If you’ve found the last couple of nail ideas slightly boring, this is the nail trend for you. We’ve been seeing “maximal” nail designs, with every nail being decked out in art, more and more lately! Make it spring-themed by opting for a spring colour palette.

Jelly Nails

Jelly nail polish is essentially a polish with a sheer, glossy finish, providing a jelly-like look. It’s very Y2K. You can achieve this look at home, or call your salon before you go in to make sure they have some jelly polishes on hand!

As with everything else, nail styles also shift as the seasons change. We go from colourful nail art and bright colours to darker shades and solid colours once it comes fall. Right now there’s even a trend of opting to go more natural and short rather than wearing longer nail extensions – with celebs like Sofia Richie and Selena Gomez sporting shorter nails and solid colours! No matter what your nail preferences are, natural or glam, there’s plenty of inspo to show at your next mani appointment, perfect for the fall season. 

Show one of these nail inspo pics at your next mani appointment!

Cherry Red

We all know by now that red is the colour of the season. Embrace the trend by getting a cherry red mani at your next nail appointment! It looks great with a shorter nail length, as pictured, or almond nails also have a nice classy touch to them.

Natural

A post shared by SODA ON MY LIPS (@sodaonmylips)

Natural, nude nails never go out of style, and right now, they’re pretty much at the top of nail trends. You don’t have to worry about your nails clashing with your outfit; they give an overall clean and chic look.

Metallic Nail Art

A post shared by SHE FLIRTS ⋮ Cam Doan. (@sheflirtsbeautybar)

For those of you who like a little bit of nail art, try getting an abstract metallic design the next time you get your nails done! They’re so fun and give off a grungy, futuristic vibe.

Burgundy

A post shared by Katie (@katietaylornailartist)

If red is a little too loud for you, opt for burgundy nails instead! They give that touch of fall we’re all craving right now, and are still a super classic look.

Pearlescent

This marble pearlescent nail finish is the perfect nail if you want a neutral yet artistic look. From afar, they look super clean and classic, and as you get closer, you see the stunning pearl-like detail.

Aura

Aura nails were big in the spring and summer this year as well, just varying in colours as the seasons change! Ask your nail artist to do aura nails with dark, moody colours for fall.

Brown Almond

There’s something so satisfying about a delicious warm brown mani for fall. We love the colour paired with an almond shape if you’re looking for some length!

Fall Floral

If you’re not on board with all the neutral nails populating your feed at the moment, we get it. Try some fall floral nail art to spice things up a bit!

Navy
