Hop On Easter Nail Art With These 14 Springy Manis

Eggs aren’t the only thing we’re bent on decking out this Easter season—we’re just as obsessed with amping up our nails. And lucky for us, those dipped and dyed shells offer up loads of inspiration for doing up our digits right: think swirling pastels and punchy geo patterns… oh yeah, now you’re pumped, right? So what are you waiting for? Hop on these 14 springy nail art tutorials now!

1. Candy-Colored Polka Dots: Is there anything more springy than pastel polka dots? We’re gushing over this contrast nail that boasts the opposite color paint job. So chic. (via So Nailicious)

2. Peach Tip Pastel Mani: This might be the most modern way to wear pastel polish. Edgy, asymmetrical French tips look seriously dreamy in a peachy sherbert. (via So Nailicious)

3. Easter Mix Up: We usually don’t like to get too cartoony when it comes to seasonal nail art, but when mixed in with seasonal motifs, bunny ears and chick feet work on grown-up nails. And yeah, we have to admit, they’re kind of too cute to pass up. (via Chalkboard Nails)

4. Pastel Braided Mani: Braided contrast nails add serious pop to this pastel mani. Keep the rest of the look chic and simple by painting each remaining nail a solid springy shade. (via Neverland Nail Blog)

5. Watercolor-Inspired Nail Art: The key to acing this watercolor-inspired look? Blend your heart out! The final design will look washed out, so use contrasting colors for maximum effect. (via So Nailicious)

6. Teal on Teal Mani: Teal on teal equals some of the prettiest nail art around. We’d take this tutorial a step further by mixing a glossy topcoat with a matte base. (via Wonder Forest)

7. Spring Confetti Nails: A speckled confetti print doesn’t just make the perfect design on Easter eggs, it also makes freaking awesome nail art. Splatter paint FTW! (via The Nailasaurus)

8. Easy Geo Mani: Three colors, two shapes, one stunning look. And the best part? It’s way easy to do, especially thanks to a .gif that shows you the play-by-play! (via Pshiiit)

9. Easter Egg Nails: You guys, even Michelle Phan is behind the whole “treat your nails as an Easter egg” thing. So swoon over these nails and know you’re in good company. ;) (via Michelle Phan)

10. May Flowers Nail Art: If April showers bring buds this beautiful, we say bring on the rain! The petal’s glittering centers are what make this a winning look. (via Pshiiit)

11. Pastel Patch Nail Art: A white base coat makes the ultimate canvas for “patched” pastel clusters that resemble this season’s most iconic image: eggs (duh!). It’s a playful design that we can totally get behind. (via Very Enchanting)

12. Studded Geo Print Nails: What happens when frilly pastels and edgy studs mix on one mani? Magic. Pure magic. (via Dressed Up Nails)

13. Bunny Nails: They’re fluffy. They’re fuzzy. And they’re faces are ridiculously cute. Oh dear. Once again, we just couldn’t bring ourselves to pass up this bunny nail art. We hope you understand. (via Syl and Sam)

14. Pastel Pattern Nail Art: This mix of geo printed tips in a smattering of colors makes some of the most striking nail art we’ve seen—springy or otherwise! We’d rock this exact design in a neon palette during the summer, gem tones for fall, and golds and greens in the winter. (via One O)

My French manicure has overstayed it's welcome, but it's only because I've been so busy saving fall nail ideas to my Pinterest board for next season. I've officially checked out of summer because there's almost always a daily heat wave or run-in with a pesky mosquito that thinks it's discovered liquid courage within my legs' veins. I'm over it, and more than ready for fall!

Do you need some new autumnal options too? Good, then get in because we're going shopping! Get ready to take as many screenshots as your phone can handle because the fall nail ideas are going to make sure you're ready for cozy weather and spooky season.

Stylish Fall Nail Ideas

KISS

Kiss Voguish Fantasy Press-On Nails (Unbroken Love)

Whether you've got fashion week or pumpkin spice season on your mind, these nails have fall written all over them. Okay, they technically have 'love' and cute French chrome accents on them, but you get what I mean.

They're subtle enough to match fall's cozy vibes without fading into obscurity and it's the type of thing I love. I'd personally wear this nail idea as soon as fall starts to show my gratitude for my favorite season.

They serve as the perfect transition between two seasons so you could actually get them a few days before summer ends!

Jasmine Williams

Black And White Abstract Nails

Don't count abstract nails out because there's still a way to make them work for fall. Opt for a black and white color palette to serve as your base while letting the hand drawn designs do most of the talking.

This is still one of my favorite sets to date because it went with everything outfit I chose to wear. Athleisure? No problem. Cowgirl status? You bet!

Bellacures

French Metallic Nails

Love the first couple of fall nail ideas, but want to focus on a chrome French manicure? You've come to the right place!

Similar to the first idea, these nails can be transitional because they're ambiguous and aren't beholden to any rules. You can request these at your nail next appointment or you can wait to debut them after fall's been around for a month.

They'll go with plenty of the fall fashion ideas you're saving to your Pinterest board.

Target

Chillhouse Chill Tips Nail Art Press On Fake Nails (Gone Glamping)

I know you plan to go glamping this fall, so let your nails match nature with a pop of forest green! It's arguable whether you should wear press-on nails in the great outdoors, but no one said you had to do any of the heavy lifting.

If you plan to keep existing in your soft girl era, these press-on nails from Chillhouse are a cute fall nail idea to take on your overnight trip in the forest.

Paintlab

PAINTLAB Tortie Press-on Nails

If you don't buy these press-on nails, I surely will! I love anything tortoise shell — I'll run up the hill towards it every time. It's this close to replacing my love for leopard print, but that's TBD. The point is, these nails are another great fall staple to have.

The only fall rule I have is that varying shades of brown and black together create the best fall neutral. Once you pair it with a rounded almond nail shape, you have one of the best fall nail ideas out there.

I could tell you to stop scrolling because you don't need anymore options, but there's still so much more to explore!

Cozy Fall Nail Ideas

Target

Olive & June Press-on Oval Medium Fake Nails

If you're taking a break from nail art, focus on getting basic nail colors! You can still wear press-on nails this fall, but you'll look like a chic Editor from Runway magazine with these oxblood nails.

You'll be able to secure them with non-toxic and on-damaging glue which is a relief. No one said anything about cute fall styles and damaged nails!

Londontown

Londontown Posh Forever Metallic Nail Polish

Give yourself a gorgeous gel manicure at home with Londontown's metallic nail polish! Thanks to the amazing formula of proprietary kur care, you'll receive a nice dose of strength, moisture, and cute fall nails with each brush stroke.

Also, it's obvious that this nail polish is a must-have for anyone who's been counting waiting to order their drink from the Starbucks fall menu. As you can see, it looks gorgeous against a cream rib knit sweater! You can also pair it with neutral matching sets while you're at it.

Ella + Mila

Ella + Mila Bags Are Packed Blue Nail Polish

Jewel tones are so fall, so go for a true blue nail polish like this one by Ella + Mila. It doesn't contain any animal-derived ingredients which is great for anyone who prefers vegan beauty products. It also dries really quick and claims to be chip-resistant. That's a great feature if you use your hands a lot!

Bellacures

Peek-a-boo Black Nail Polish

Classic black nails will always be in. You can call these nails moody, but it doesn't change the fact they're going to be the most versatile idea you wear this fall.

Since there's no additional rhinestones or nail designs associated with this idea, you can actually recreate this at home. It can be your way of saving money so you don't have to choose between toilet paper and wine à la Shonda Rhimes.

Spooky Fall Nail Ideas

Glamnetic

Glamnetic Sandworm Press-On Nails

"Look! You've been to Saturn! I've been to Saturn! Whoa, sandworms, you hate ’em, right" is one of my favorite unhinged quotes from Beetlejuice that match these press-on nails perfectly.

Since we're finally getting a long-awaited sequel to the cult classic, it feels fitting that I include these beauties in the fall nail ideas roundup. They mix a bit of the sandworms' design with the classic Beetlejuice suit I love to see Michael Keaton wear so I think this means you just discovered your Halloween costume. 👀

Walmart

Salon Perfect Halloween Press-on Nails (Orange Pumpkin)

The first movie I think about when I see these nails is Scream. That's one of my favorite teen slasher films that I still watch to this day so I love how these designs seem to pay homage to Ghostface.

The pumpkins and orange crochet lines are an added touch that takes the edge off the 'killer' aspect which may make some people feel more comfortable looking at your nails. Then again, it doesn't really matter if other people don't get them.

Bellacures

Spooky Spider Nails

Undoubtedly someone doesn't have a fear of spiders and I applaud you for having the courage I don't. So, if you're trying to think of your next spooky Halloween costume, let these nails be your guiding light.

They're deliciously witchy and seem like you can conjure pumpkins to break out in a jubilated song.

As soon as we swap our sandals and summer dresses for cozy sweaters, we start getting in the mood to watch Hocus Pocus. The original 1993 film is full of nostalgia, laughs, and impeccable New England fall foliage. After 2022's sequel broke records across the board, we learned that Hocus Pocus 3 in the series is officially in the works. Start planning your group Halloween costume — the holiday's come early!

Will there be a Hocus Pocus 3?

Matt Kennedy/Disney

Yes, Hocus Pocus 3 is in development! In a recent interview with The New York Times, Walt Disney Pictures president Sean Bailey confirmed the three-quel is in development.

When will Hocus Pocus 3 come out?

Matt Kennedy/Disney

We don't have an official release date for Hocus Pocus 3 yet, and Bette Midler recently revealed she hasn't actually seen a script yet. “I haven’t seen the script, but I’ve heard rumblings,” she said. “I think if they’re gonna, they oughta, because time is not just marching, time is barrel-assing to the finish line. Get us while we’re still breathing, I mean, God!”

Where is Hocus Pocus 3 being filmed?

Matt Kennedy/Disney

Hocus Pocus and its sequel were filmed in Salem, Massachusetts and Rhode Island, respectively, so we're expecting Hocus Pocus 3 to be filmed in New England as well!

Who's returning for Hocus Pocus 3?

Matt Kennedy/Disney

We don't have official cast news yet, but we're hoping Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy return as the Sanderson Sisters. "I'd love to have a franchise — especially a character I love playing," Bette tells EW. "If there was a third one, of course I'd sign on, but I don't know how. I can't imagine what the story would be, but I love Winifred, Sarah, Mary, and our relationship. It's good for women."

While we haven't gotten a cast list yet, we do know who's hoping to join the third film: drag star Symone (winner of RuPaul's Drag Race season 13). "I know they're doing [Hocus Pocus] 3, if they want to get my number, my phone box is open," she says in an interview with EW. "I would love to be a witch of some kind...I might be a villain, come into my own little power, have my own little coven. I would love that. Can't you see it?"

Will Thora Birch be in Hocus Pocus 3?

Walt Disney Pictures/Buena Vista Pictures/IMDb

At the NYC premiere of Hocus Pocus 2, screenwriter Jen D’Angelo said she hopes we'll see Max (Omri Katz) and Allison (Vinessa) from the original film again. However, so far, there's no word on whether Thora Birch, Vinessa, or Omri will return.

“We tried so hard to get the original cast back for cameos and then it just kept not working out for one reason or the other,” D’Angelo said, via Variety. “But I’m hoping in Hocus Pocus 3, we’ll see Max and Alison living in California.” We hope so too!

Where can I watch the movie?

Disney+

You can watch both Hocus Pocusand Hocus Pocus 2 on Disney+, so it's safe to assume the new film will hit the streaming platform as well.

Was the first Hocus Pocus a flop?

Buena Vista Pictures/Walt Disney Studios

The original Hocus Pocus grossed $8.1 million after its July release, and dropped out of the top ten two weeks later. And since then, it has become a cult classic and fan favorite!

Are the Sanderson sisters real?

Matt Kennedy/Disney

While the Sanderson sisters are fictional, they were inspired by three sisters who were accused of witchcraft in Salem: Rebecca Towne Nurse, Mary Towne Easty, and Sarah Towne Cloyce.

Who are the 3 sisters in Hocus Pocus?

Matt Kennedy/Disney

Winifred (Bette Midler), Mary (Kathy Najimy), and Sarah (Sarah Jessica Parker) Sanderson are the three witchy sisters who want to stay young forever by feeding off the children of Salem.

Is there a 4th Sanderson sister?

Matt Kennedy/Disney

Yes, there's a fourth Sanderson sister in the Hocus Pocus and the All-New Sequel book. In the story, new girl in town Isabella (who also happens to be who Max and Allison's daughter Poppy is crushing on) is a descendant of secret Sanderson sister Elizabeth!

You can always count on the sun, sand, and ocean to be a highlight of your summer vacation ideas. And this time you'll be bringing along an accessory that pays homage to them — summery beach nails! We're talking tasty cocktail and mermaid-inspired designs that'll make you feel like one of Ariel's sisters in The Little Mermaid.

Don't let us convince you though! By the time you've scrolled through these 7 summery beach nails, you'll know exactly which one fits the mood you want to convey when you're OOO (out of office).

www.instagram.com

All we can think of is The Little Mermaid while staring at these gorgeous jelly nails! Though they only have a pop of turquoise on the middle and ring fingers, there's nothing "simple" about them.

The placement of the "jelly" design is shaped to resemble droplets of water that are running down a smooth surface while the gold chrome can be thought of as the buried treasure that many have searched for during sea expeditions. The gold embellished starfish and seashells are the perfect final touch to complete these beautiful mermaid nails.

www.instagram.com

It's true that beach nails don't have to be completely "on-brand," but it's hard not to fall for designs that honor undersea life. These nails immediately make us think about our friends in Spongebob Squarepants because of the starfish, vegetation, and pink coral that's hand-painted on them.

Instead of opting for acrylic or gel extensions, you can have these designs painted on your real nails for a natural manicure.

www.instagram.com

These sultry beach nails are so Ursula-coded. They have her signature powder blue color in the center of the ring fingers and they also feature the sexiest tortoiseshell design. We can't stop staring at how well the contrasting colors blend and know that these nails are fit for a queen who's tapping into her dark feminine era.

P.S. Screenshot these designs so you can remember to get them during fall!

@artdecom

Since you'll be sipping on yummy summer cocktailrecipes this summer, we think you should let your beach nails inspire your next drink. This design actually reminds us of Citrus Mezcal Cocktails with its gorgeous yellow and pink swirls. Also, the almond shape of these nails are perfect for anyone who are tired of the squared look. It gives the nails an overall chic appearance even if the design is fun and vibrant!

www.instagram.com

Everyone knows that Katy Perry is the unofficial spokesperson for summer so it makes sense that these nails remind us of her song "California Gurls." They look like the made for the girl who's ready to soak up the sun like the unbothered queen she is. This is because of the Barbie pink floral designs and tropical colors meant to symbolize the beauty of the beach.

If you choose to get this design, it'll pair perfectly with your sunkissed tan.

www.instagram.com

If you plan to be the main character this summer, you have to make sure your outfits revolve around these pretty beach nails. They have the girliest colors one could ask for and their sharp claw designs are sure to catch everyone's attention. The only thing we suggest is getting a manageable length that'll allow you to do all the summer activities you want!

www.instagram.com

Let the clear blue sky gleaming over the ocean serve as inspiration for your beach nails! This idea doesn't overcomplicate things by letting the additional designs be the focal point. Between the blue ombré and rhinestone starfish on the pointer fingers, no one will have to guess where you'll be spending your days.

I'm sure we'll see you enjoying a couple of spicy romance books while soaking up everything the sun has to offer.

But, that's not all! We have even more summer nails for you to check out.

I'm always keeping an eye out for any and every kind of update from the Bridgerton cast. From adorable red carpet reunions to the stars who are actually dating IRL, this is one cast that truly loves each other. And that love makes their onscreen interactions even better! While Bridgerton season 3 ended in June, and we probably won't see season 4 until 2026, we did just get a Bridgerton cast reunion that will totally hold us all over until we finally get new episodes.

Nicola Coughlan (who plays Penelope Featherington — er, Bridgerton — on the show) and Hannah Dodd (Francesca Bridgerton) reunited to sit front row at Gucci's Milan Fashion Week show on September 20. "Thank you @sabatods for a beautiful show and a class party after," Nicola said on Instagram, while Hannah added, "@sabatods you are magic. 💛 u @gucci - thank you for a gorgeous trip x."

The two actresses sat beside Daisy Edgar-Jones and Dakota Johnson, and looked stunning in complementary outfits that were totally giving Mary Kate and Ashley.

Hannah rocked a white button down and jeans with pointed-toe heels and a camel-colored bag, while Nicola paired the dreamiest capelet and white button down dress with bejeweled heels. And TBH, this duo has me dreaming about what Bridgerton would look like in 2024!

Netflix

Now that the Ton knows Penelope is Lady Whistledown, she's going to have all kinds of celebrity that would totally score her a front row ticket to fashion week in the present day. And as a former wallflower, I think Penelope sees and understands shy Francesca in a really special way.

Ahead of Bridgerton season 3, Nicola told Brit + Co that she loved seeing Penelope "finding her self-worth — that side of her I really loved getting to play." Hannah also admitted she feels a similar shyness to Francesca amid the buzz of joining the global phenomenon.

"I'm so excited to see what the writers come up with," she saidof Bridgerton's (and Francesca's) future. "I just hope she steps into herself a little bit more and kind of goes after things that make her happy, and knows that she's deserving of that. But I'm new here. So, like anything they give me, I'm gonna be happy with."

I can't wait to see how these characters continue to grow and evolve, and I hope we get another Bridgerton reunion soon!
