Pastel Spring Nails

I am in love with this trend.

Pastel nails are soft, subtle, but with color involved. How fun!

I love the slight sparkle in the nails here.

It’s not too much, but just enough!

I personally think these cute pastel nails could go for both a spring and summer vibe.

The lilacs and the lemons are so cute! Love the little art detail and it isn’t too busy for me!

The colors here remind me of raspberry and orange sherbet.

So pretty and so fun!

The pastel tips with a cute little heart design right under? So sweet!

You could also do this one as Valentine’s Day nails but make the tips red and pink.

Classy Spring Nails

The pearls, the nails, the background.

Just an overall classy look.

The soft pink really brings out the elegance in this nails.

I also love this shape although I don’t think I could pull it off.

Nothing screams classy like a cute spring French manicure.

I love the thin white tip on the top versus a thicker French manicure.

This is a great spring nail design for anyone with shorter nails.

Probably my favorite of the classy nails. I love the color and the tiny bit of sparkle.

Another thing I love is the shape of the nail. I always do almond nails because I feel as though it elongates my fingers.

Ombre nails can be so classy looking. I love the short rounded tip of the nail with the pretty ombre nail color.

Just gorgeous!

Simple Nail Designs

Yes, a lot of people love the extravagant nail designs where each nail is designed completely different and there are a lot of things going on with each nail.

For me, I like a simpler look. Whether it be one simple design per nail or just on one finger.

Here are some of my favorite simple spring nail designs.

These are too cute!

I love the little heart detail on the bottom of each nail. So fun!

A little brighter than what I normally do but these nails are perfect for spring!

I am a fan of the different colors on each nail but with the same design.

Now these nails are totally my vibe.

A neutral nail with a hint of a design. It’s a mix of classic with a little bit of fun!

Just a gorgeous design.

A little bit of color, a little bit of sparkle, a whole lotta fun!

A simple nail design but it stands out so much. I love how this looks!

Short Spring Nails

I used to wear my nails short for the longest time.

Mainly because my nails wouldn’t grow.

Ever since I started getting my nails done they have grown so much (all thanks to gel manicures). Now they are much longer.

I am still kind of obsessed with the short nail look so here are some of my favorite short spring nails.

I love the simple design and spring color on these nails.

That pastel green is so fun!

A little spring rainbow nail with a micro French manicure is so fun!

I think a micro French manicure looks so good on short nails.

Flowers are a great nail design for Spring.

I used to always have a design or different color on my ring finger and thought it was so fun.

If you know me, you know this color is my go-to.

A classic soft white across all nails..

Simple, elegant, perfection!

I couldn’t resist sharing this one.

How cute are the colors and the single sparkly nail? I feel like this fits so well with an Easter nail design.

Long Spring Nails

Now that my nails have grown longer, I thought there were some fun designs to share with you and for me to possibly try!

Soft yellows and little dainty flowers are a beautiful reorientation of Spring.

I love this design so much!

I am swooning over this beautiful blue color!

I have never tried a blue on my nails but this might just be it!

Combining the pastel color with a touch of sparkle hearts in each is just adorable!

I feel like you could do these nails for Valentine’s Day too.

These nails are lavender mixed with a little bit of chrome.

So fun and feminine!

This subtle spring pastel design is so cute!

I love how it looks on these long nails.
