Spring is here, and we’re all ready for the warmer weather, bright colours, and fun nail designs. When a new season begins, having new nail designs to play around with is always exciting and a great way to get creative.
In this post, I’ve hand-picked 24 colourful nail design ideas perfect for spring. There is something for everyone; whether you want your nails to scream spring or want something cute and simple, you can find a design that’s ideal for you.
This is the perfect mix between simple and glam. The multi-coloured flowers are cute and dainty, and the added jewels make it look much more special. The nude base makes it look more simplistic and less crowded. The colours really pop against the nude base and make it stand out more, perfect for starting the spring season.
Having different colours or designs on each hand is super popular this year, and this is the perfect way to do it. The pastel pink and blue complement each other well, and the pink and yellow stands out against the tip colours. Top designs are also very trendy at the moment, so this is a great design to keep you up to date with the trends.
Flower designs are always a hit, and this is the perfect way to do it. Having the floral design on two nails creates a nice balance; it’s nice and vibrant but not too in your face. The yellow tips are also nice to make the manicure more exciting.
White and nude are clean, classic colours to have on your nails, but this is a great way of making it more unique. The half and half design is cool and edgy, and the black dot design adds more detail. It’s a simple monochromatic design that is still fun, bold, and eye-catching.
Blue has been a go-to manicure colour for the last few seasons, and it’s definitely here to stay for spring. This shade of blue is bright, perfect for the warmer weather, but still very chic and classy. The mix between the fully painted nails and the top designs creates a nice contrast, and the nude base breaks up the colour, making it stand out more.
Tip designs have been a massive thing for the last few seasons, and we’re still loving it. Not only are tip designs popular, but having a different colour on each tip has also been a craze, and this design is the perfect way to do it. What I like about this is that even though it’s fun and bright, it’s still has a simple, cute feel to it without being too loud.
Spring is all about new beginnings and starting afresh, and what better way to do that with a clean French manicure. French manicures are always a hit; they are classy, chic, and always look fresh.

The colours in this design are bold, fun, and the ultimate eye-catching blend.

This design is a personal favourite; the pastel colours, the line detailing; all of it works so well together. Ombré has been around for a few years now, and it still looks amazing every time, but this frosted ombré is such a unique and stylish way of doing it. The line detail helps emphasise the colour and gives it a little pop to help it stand out.
White tips are always classy and elegant, but adding the flower nail art makings it more fitting for spring.

This is one of the more simple designs to go for this spring, but it’s equally exciting. The split between colour and nude polish is a really good balance.

It’s a fun, pretty design that is still perfect for an everyday design.
This design is definitely more suited for someone that wants to go all out on their manicure. This design has so much going on, but it all works well together and doesn’t look overpowering.
