The Freshest Spring Nails To Try This Season (2025)

Spring nails serve as a refreshing reminder to embrace the warmer season. After a long winter here in New York, nothing compares to the vibrant sight of orange tulips blooming on Park Avenue or the feeling of swapping my puffer coat for a light quilted jacket.

This season, nail designs are taking on a modern twist with pastel colors, chrome finishes, fruit-inspired nail art, and more. And, of course, the classic floral nail art isn’t going anywhere! On social media, top nail trends this spring lean towards soft, romantic hues and dainty designs. 

What I love about spring nails is that they offer a fun way to change up your look and express your personal style. They also bring such a sense of renewal and excitement to your routine. Whether you’re planning to try a DIY manicure at home or looking for inspiration for your next visit to the nail salon, you’re in the right place.

Read on for the best spring nail trends by nail artists around the world to fit the uplifting mood of the season. Try these nail looks for your next picnic, coffee date, or just to brighten up your day. Embrace the spring energy with these mood-boosting manis ahead.

3D Floral Nails

Nail artist San Sung Kim added a playful take on floral nails with these 3D designs. The long almond tips with dried flowers show her sense of creativity, which is so fitting for spring. The bright colors are striking at first glance, and the sculptural elements make them even more interesting.

“Taking a moment to appreciate all that is lush and beautiful in my dynamic and ever-flowing life,” says Kim in her Instagram post caption. This set of nails serve as a perfect way to remind yourself to slow down and enjoy the beauty in everything.

Dreamy nails are in the cards for you this spring. This set might just be the easiest way to look polished almost instantly.

Gold Chrome Nails

For a minimal yet impactful look, go for these gold chrome nails with a bare base. Best of all, they’re super easy to do. “You can spend the time encapsulating chrome and diamonds or you could just use a sticker!,” says Kirk in her Instagram post caption.

Delicate Floral Spring Nails

These floral nails by Kim are as dreamy as they get. In her Instagram caption, she shares where her idea stemmed from: “Inspired by my postcard of Mariano Fortuny’s ‘Malvas Reales’…I needed a little creative refresher yesterday so I just sat and ‘painted’ away some of the extra noises that were floating around. It took so much longer to create than most of my sets but it was well worth my time!”
