I also know it’s the start of the new season because my favourite nail artists have started posting beautiful spring nail trends on Instagram. Things are finally getting a little more colourful, from fun pastel colours to happy nail art. This makes me very happy.

We’ve already been busy gathering the biggest spring nail colours of 2026, but I decided to look into what spring nail art trends will be popular this year As a beauty editor, I know a lot about these things and I can tell you that there are a lot of nail designs to look out for this season.

Lace Details
Is it just me, or is lace nail art all over the place right now? This delicate, soft design will look great with your spring clothes. I mean, picture this nail art with your favourite white dress. It’s also a great choice for brides-to-be.
Let’s be honest this nail art is hard to do at home. But nail wraps will help you get the look in a matter of seconds.
Checkmate
Checks are a fashion trend that I think will quickly become popular in the beauty world this spring. This season it looks like everyone who is fashionable is wearing checked trench coats and jackets. Why not get your nails to match?
If you want to do a checked nail design, nail art brushes will be your best friend.
Pastels that pop
Pastels are always in style at this time of year, but this spring we’re seeing a trend that is a little louder and brighter. Think of bright purple, bold blue, and yellow pops all over.
These pastel colours are very strong.
Colour Combinations
It’s time to try out different colour combinations this spring instead of just wearing one nail polish. For example look at this design. Pastel blue and chocolate brown are very popular right now.

Polka Dots in the Spring
Polka dots for the spring? Sorry, flowers but there’s a new print in town and I’m all for it I really like this polka dot French tip design, especially when it’s done in soft pastel colours that match the season.
A dotting tool is the best way to make polka dot patterns.
Tips for Gingham
Gingham is a classic spring print, so I think these gingham nails will be all over the place this season This is another nail design that looks great as a French tip as well.
This gel polish set has everything you need to make a stylish gingham pattern.

When the weather gets warmer, everyone starts to wear lighter denim styles. This fun denim nail design is a great way to match your manicure to your outfit. This spring, denim-themed beauty products from Chanel are sure to be a big hit.
