It’s Spring! Things are finally warming up and your fingers can’t hide behind those mittens any longer. (Talk about a warm weather fashion faux pas.) So, brighten things up now that it’s no longer dark at 5pm with the best spring nail design ideas.

After enough months of dark nail colors, we’re ready to embrace everything from pastels and bright rainbows to Easter bunnies and flowers that’ll make you feel like frolicking through the fields. To that end, we’ve found tons of cute Spring nail art ideas for everybody. Everybody with nails at least. Sorry, Nemo.

While many designs stay popular from year to year, others, like diagonal french tips, color-blocked minimalist designs, and vintage nail art inspired by 70s embrace current spring trends about as intensely as we embrace our morning coffee.

1. Daisy Nails

If you can’t go to Bonnaroo, bring Bonnaroo to you with these pastel daisy nails. Nail artist Charlotte created these flower power spring nails using The GelBottle Inc in June, Pastel V005, Caipirinha, Peach Daiquiri, Queen Bee + Sealight.

2. Easter Bunny Nails

Dee designed these Easter nails using Duri Cosmetics in Cotton Candy Sky and Speck-tacular Me. Which reminds us, we need to make those Cotton Candy Peeps Rice Krispie Treats again.

3. Robin Egg Manicure

You too can turn your nails into mini eggs like nail artist Abi. Now, your fingers will have their own camouflage when they dip into that candy bowl again.

4. Pastel Matte Press-On Nails

If painting on simple nail polish is more coordination than you can handle, honestly same. These multi-colored matte pastel press-on nails by EchoTangoNails are perfect. Order us a set while you’re at it, will ya?

5. Over the Rainbow Nails

Nail artist Natalie Holt created these rainbow nails that are perfect for St. Patrick’s Day, Pride, or just saying scram to winter. Yes, we also yell at clouds in our off time. What of it?

6. Flowery Press-on Nails

Remember when you used to smash flowers in a book and leave them there to rot? This is pretty much the same idea, but way prettier. Pick up these babies on Etsy and meet us at the pool.

7. Cherry Nails

These pastel cherries are created by Danni and remind us how pitted fruit are the pits.

8. Spring Mountain Nails

Don’t ever let anyone tell you can’t hike and have perfect nails. Coincidentally this look by The Nail Lady Lincoln is what we saw when we last went on a hike and forgot to bring snacks and water. So what if it was just a mile long!

9. Easter Bunny Nail Tips

If you’re nervous about trying nail art, just avoid faces like Danni did. And, if the bunny heads don’t turn out, just paint the whole nail white.

10. Floral Nails

Sure these nails by Ewa might make you look like a University of Michigan fan who really loves Vera Bradley. But, are we wrong?

11. 90s Nails

These teal and hot pink 90s nails were made for snacking on Dunkaroos while you organize your Caboodle.

16. Hand-Painted Disney Alice in Wonderland Nails

These nails probably took about as long to paint as the original animation cels. Good thing we won’t be chewing on one of those.

17. Trippy Alice In Wonderland Nail Art

27. Hot Pink Spring Flowers

30. Square Tipped Ombre Nails

31. Baby Blue French Tips

The current trend in French Manicures is to paint the sides with polish, not just the top. Mix and match them with other springtime nail art designs like flowers. Or bugs. Those are awake now.
