I’m so excited to write this post!
New nails are usually the first thing I think about.
Winter nails do feel a little heavier to me. But when March starts showing up and the weather slowly warms up, I suddenly want pastels, tiny flowers, soft greens, little French tips, things that just feel fresh again.
I also like that spring nails don’t need to be complicated. Some of my favorite sets are the simple ones. Soft almond shaped nails with baby pink polish. Light sage green. A small daisy on one finger. That’s it. It still looks really put together but it doesn’t feel overdone.
Every year I save way too many nail ideas on Pinterest.
Like way too many!
I tell myself I’ll try them all but realistically I end up showing my nail tech maybe two photos and saying “something like this?” and hoping for the best. Still fun though
So for this post I pulled together some of the cutest fun spring nails I’ve been seeing lately. Some are simple gel nails, some are more colorful, some have tiny nail art details that make them feel extra special.
If you’re looking for fresh ideas for March or April, you’ll probably find a few you’ll want to try.
And fair warning… you might end up saving half of them. I definitely did.
