SPRING

Spring Nail Designs: 45 of the Best Ideas for 2024

Spring is around the corner. From now on it’s time to let go of the moody palette and jump into pastel shades, soft colors, delicate art, and many – many- flowers. In the realm of nail designs for Spring 2024, nail specialists have no common sense. According to Cosmopolitan, this year is all about simple and easy designs. On the other hand, Vogue’s specialists put their money on metallics and bright colors. And to make it even more confusing, Allure swears by maximalist nails with complex designs. True be told, and with all due respect to the amazing specialists out there, the really popular nail trends always come down to what Hailey and Kiley will have at the tip of their fingers, right?

Therefore, as a person who has been doing her nails weekly for the past 30 years (way before it was an Instagram trend), I advocate we do whatever we feel like doing, regardless of trends. They never go out of style if you are a classic nail girl. If you love the extra-long extravagant acrylics you’ll spend all day every day seeing your hands, therefore, you should be looking at what brings you joy.

So, in this post, you’ll find a vast selection of carefully curated Spring nail designs for everyone, from the trendy minimalist and bold extra-long acrylic to flowers, botanicals, butterflies, and so on. All the images you’ll see in this post are from the most popular Instagram nail artists. Make sure you follow, like, and share your favorite artists so we can support their work. We grow stronger when women support other women’s dreams, talent, and money!

Despite any trends that come and go every year, floral nail art is the number one design for Spring. So, here are some of the most popular flower nail designs from Instagram to inspire your blossoming manicure.

French tips, lines, and swirls are the simplest and easiest nail art for any occasion. For Spring, make sure they are in pastel and go for it!

According to Cosmopolitan, French tips are coming hot this year. But honestly, French tips can never run out of style. I remember when I first had a Frenchie, back in 2001. I was in my senior year in high school and the classic French manicure was the only nail design a classy girl should have. My boyfriend at the time was crazy about it and for the past 20 years, the Frenchie remained a safe and elegant choice. Besides, it works on all nail shapes and lengths.

For Spring 2024, I see my favorite Insta artists coming big on pastels and combining French tips with florals. So, here are some pastel French tip nail ideas.

White French tips plus flowers are the most classic duo for Spring and this year, they are trending. So, from romantic roses to abstract flowers, there is a combination of floral and French tips perfect for your style.

French tips are my favorite design for short nails. They are easy to do, always look elegant, and you can play with colors, and textures and have it as thick as it will please you.

Also a possible trend for 2024, extravagant nail art is for the bold. I never wore 3D or rhinestones on my finger, however, every time I see someone with them, I’m obsessed and it’s the greatest conversation starter.
