There's no such thing as too seasonal when it comes to your nail art. We love taking inspo from the color trends, holidays, and general vibes of each season. When it comes to spring nails, that means we're looking for all things pastel, floral, colorful, and even Easter themed. But don't worry if you like to think outside the box... on-trend styles like '70s psychedelics, geometric shapes, and earthy tones are in here too. Keep scrolling for 16 of our favorite looks for spring nails in 2022.

Psychedelic Brights

Get groovy with a marbled manicure that sports on-trend, bold colors like lime green, lavender, hot pink, and gold. The '70s aesthetic is insanely on-trend for 2022, and the colors are a total warm-weather mood.

Elegant Florals

If you like more muted tones, take inspiration from the colors you see in your garden. This elegant design is the perfect creative-girl alternative to the classic (but admittedly a little dated) French manicure.

Blank Space

Switch things up by creating pastel designs that leave a little empty space in between. Our tip for combining multiple colors into one nail art look: Make sure every hue you select has a similar undertone (either warm or cool) and chroma (intensity of the shade).

Just Peachy

We're all crazy about peach. Yet another '70s color to add to your spring nails vision board, peach tones — especially alongside a few florals — make for the perfect youthful-yet-stylish vibe.

On-Trend Geometrics

Though geometric in nature, this style adds a soft, dainty element with pastel colors and plenty of blank space. The square cut of the nails adds contrast to the softer edges within, making for a perfectly balanced look.

Earthy Florals

If you're not one for pastels, you still have plenty of options when it comes to spring nails. These decidedly earthy tones play totally differently in fall versus spring, but they're just neutral enough not to come across as totally autumnal.

Yin + Yang

[pinterest_embed https://www.pinterest.com/pin/12103492739007250/ site_id=19876466 expand=1]

www.pinterest.com

Like a yin + yang symbol, this look utilizes a curvy line down the center of the nail, on either side of which are two contrasting pastel shades. Look to the color wheel for clues as to which colors contrast each other best — but feel free to break the rules.

Minimalist Vibes

[pinterest_embed https://www.pinterest.com/pin/544161567484722817/ site_id=19876466 expand=1]

www.pinterest.com

A great option for minimalists, this look not only makes for a dainty manicure, but also uses an ombre color scheme to create additional visual interest. Use any color you like, but springy tones like peach, pink, green, and yellow come highly recommended.

Classic Daisies

[pinterest_embed https://www.pinterest.com/pin/1618549858946881/ site_id=19876466 expand=1]

www.pinterest.com

"Florals, for spring? Groundbreaking." But seriously, while it might not excite Miranda Priestly, we love leaning into the flora outside for our beauty inspo. These adorable daisies are just what we need to keep our days bright, even during April showers.

Rainbow Brights

[pinterest_embed https://www.pinterest.com/pin/351912462028691/ site_id=19876466 expand=1]

If, on the other hand, you want a clearer reminder that the rains won't last forever, rainbow nails are always a solid choice. We love how this design, like a few others on this list, mimics the French manicure, but adds bright, colorful visual interest.

Retro Vibes

[pinterest_embed https://www.pinterest.com/pin/367676757087238228/ site_id=19876466 expand=1]

www.pinterest.com

Speaking of bright colors, these retro-inspired, earthy-yet-bold, subtly '70s-inspired daisy print nails are sure to brighten the mood. Keep the background in a similar hue to your skin tone to ensure the florals stand out.

Down The Middle

[pinterest_embed https://www.pinterest.com/pin/119978777565395514/ site_id=19876466 expand=1]

www.pinterest.com

For an option even nail art newbies can do at home, turn to this simple down-the-middle nail art design. Spring for pastel or earthy hues to keep things on-trend and in-season.

A Very Peri Manicure

[pinterest_embed https://www.pinterest.com/pin/5207355810923431/ site_id=19876466 expand=1]

www.pinterest.com

This reverse French manicure stands out because it utilizes a stunning and unmistakeable hue: Pantone's periwinkle-inspired Color of the Year for 2022, Very Peri. Find a similarly unforgettable shade, like kelly green, cornflower blue, or cerulean, to help your look stand out.

Wild + Wonderful

[pinterest_embed https://www.pinterest.com/pin/552746554277673237/ site_id=19876466 expand=1]

In case you haven't noticed, the '70s are definitely in. Play it up by keeping your spring nails ultra-psychedelic, utilizing numerous lines and waves to create a vibrant design like this one.

Strawberry Season

Let's not forget, it's not just florals that come into their prime in springtime: It's also spring produce! Take your inspo from strawberries, one of the few fruits that's come into season in most parts of the country already, with this strawberry-fields-forever look.

Hope You Love Plants

It's almost time to return to Cousins! The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3 is coming this summer, and Prime Video just gave us a first official look at Belly, Jeremiah, and Conrad. The new episodes will open at the end of Belly's freshman year of college, and in addition to seeing the evolution of our favorite characters, author and co-showrunner Jenny Han says "there are going to be surprises" in the final season. Eek!

Here's your first look at Lola Tung, Gavin Casalegno, and Christopher Briney in The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3, coming to Prime Video July 2025!


Jenny Han says 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' fans are in for a few surprises.

"There are the things that [fans] know and then there are things they think they know, and then there's going to be, hopefully, things that surprise them," Jenny Han tells Entertainment Weekly. Listen, I am a very proud member of Team Conrad, and seeing how cozy Belly and Jeremiah are in these pics (not to mention the set leak that's definitely not in the third book), I'm starting to wonder if Prime Video is teasing I should switch teams.

But no matter which team you're on, Lola Tung promises the season won't let you down.

Team #JellyFish will get their time this season.

Erika Doss/Prime Video

"The one thing I've always admired about Jenny is that every season and every decision about what's coming next is purely to serve the story," Lola says. "She's never going to do anything that doesn't make sense for the story. It's all about this beautiful world she's created and giving the fans something really, really special and giving us something really special to work with."

And that includes some sweet moments which Jeremiah and Belly, who "are, at their core, best friends," Lola adds. "That relationship is something that's so special and so unique to them, so it's exciting to see this season and how their relationship blossoms."

And 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' images also feature Conrad.

Erika Doss/Prime Video

But don't worry Conrad fans, we also get a look at the elder Fisher brother who "we know that he went to Stanford, and so he's continuing on his journey to become a doctor, as you can see from that white coat," Jenny says. "I think people won't be surprised to see that."

Keep reading for more images from The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3!

Jenny Han also teases this image is actually a flashback, "so do with that what you will." BRB, I'm off dreaming of a beach vacation. I also can't help but point out the warm color grade of this season! The golden look makes everything feel warmer and more magical — and offers a youthful glow as Belly gets older.

Erika Doss/Prime Video

But for those of us who care more about Steven and Taylor (Sean Kaufman and Rain Spencer) than the main love triangle, we got this single crumb from the new images. And I'm more than happy about it, thank you very much.

Belly (Lola Tung) gets cozy on campus in a hoodie and sunglasses.

Spring 2025 beauty is all about bold yet wearable, polished yet playful looks. From the return of the lip liner to fresh, nature-inspired nail and eye colors, this season’s trends blend nostalgia with modern minimalism. Expect soft, dramatic eyes, skincare-infused makeup, and lip liner that enhances without overpowering. These trends are all about embracing your natural features in an elevated, beautiful way so you glow, and look your best, all season.

Here are spring 2025 beauty trends to try this season.

City Lips® Defining Liner

Liner Revival

The lip liner trend for spring 2025 embraces bold definition with a fresh, modern twist. This season, it's about pairing rosy nudes with soft, lighter lip colors and rich, warm tones with deep browns and cherry reds for a sculpted, high-impact look. City Lips Defining Liner is our favorite new lip liner. It prevents color fading, smudging, and feathering, so you can keep your look intact all day or night! It’s available in two pretty shades: Blush, a soft, rosy nude that pairs beautifully with pink hues and lighter lip colors, and Willow, a rich, warm-toned nude that complements brown tones and deeper shades.

City Beauty

Multitasking Makeup

The trend toward skincare-infused makeup is making your beauty routine work harder with nourishing ingredients. City Lips Defining Liner features vitamin E, helping to keep the lip line smooth while subtly enhancing its shape for a fuller, more defined look. For the ultimate plump and polish, pair the pigmented liner with City Lips Plumping Gloss — a duo that gives you a naturally voluminous pout, plus extra hydration.

Pastel Pop

From butter yellow to sage green, this season’s nail trends are embracing soft, yet statement-making hues that bring a fresh pop of color. Alongside these chic shades, almond-shaped nails are offering a sleek, elegant look that flatters your mani aesthetic.

Monserrat Tosca | Dupe

'90s Nostalgia

A softer, smudged take on the classic cat-eye is making waves, with eyeliner staging a bold comeback in full, effortless sweeps. Blue eyeshadow is also back and better. Expect a nod to cool-toned, ’90s grunge eyes, a trend that lends itself to easy, minimalist lines, like a single, clean swipe of liner, proving that less can truly be more.

Claire Craig | Dupe

Lobs, Bobs & Natural Manes

Haircut season is in full swing, and lighter, fuss-free bobs at all above-shoulder lengths, plus natural curls, are making their way in and out of salons for spring. We couldn't be happier for the low-maintenance 'dos!

Katie Mansfield | Dupe

Satin Skin

This understated look highlights healthy, natural skin with a soft-matte finish — radiant, yet never flat or overly glossy.

City Beauty

Glossy lips, instead, shine this season. Upgrade your lip routine this spring with City Beauty’s new City Lips Defining Liner and lip glosses for a refreshed look.

1923 season 2 premieres on Paramount+ February 23, and Michelle Randolph (who plays Elizabeth Dutton in the cast) is "so excited" for you to watch the new episodes — and she's been keeping up with all your fan theories!

"There are some crazy ones. I feel like the biggest fan theory thing is the family tree," she tells Brit + Co exclusively. "I've seen many different family trees and so it's like, 'OK, which one's accurate?' I actually drew my own at one point."

Here's what Michelle Randolph had to say about 1923 season 2, and the Dutton family tree, in Brit + Co's exclusive 1923 interview.

Michelle Randolph teases '1923' season 2 finally gives us answers to the Dutton family tree.

By the end of season 2, Michelle Randolph says "we might be able to fill in some blanks" in the Dutton family tree, which is a very hot topic for internet users! "I had to make my own [family tree] because all of the ones I saw on the internet were like — every single one was different. I was like 'I'm confused.'"

The Dutton family is made up of incredible cast members like Brandon Sklenar, Harrison Ford, and Helen Mirren, and Michelle reveals that the cast are just as close as their characters.

"There's a giant group chat called Giddy Up, which started during cowboy camp of season one," she says. "A cute little name, and I think I mean we all were on location in Montana and all in the same hotel, and we would get dinners after [filming], so I think even though our characters are very different and in different story lines like we all really did bond, which was really helpful to have each other throughout the chaos of of shooting a show."

The actress also says Elizabeth would connect with her 'Landman' character Ainsley.

And if you're a tried and true Taylor Sheridan fan, you've probably picked up on the fact that Michelle isn't just in 1923 — she also has a starring role as Ainsley Norris in Landman! But would Elizabeth and Ainsley get along if they met in an alternate universe?

"That would be a fun thing to witness. I think they would," she says. "They're very different, but the similarities between them is they're both young women who are finding their place in this world and I think that they both actually look at the world through very bright eyes and have a lot of hope, which is an interesting correlation between the two of them. I think Elizabeth has gone through so much more than Ainsley obviously, so there might be a difference there, but I think they would get along."

Leaders in the matcha industry are predicting a matcha shortage this spring. Sparked by a huge surge in demand, it’s possible that your go-to drink could be affected.

Here’s everything you need to know about this season’s matcha shortage.

Nataliya Vaitkevich / PEXELS

Per The Japan Times, increased demand for matcha powder put an “unprecedented strain” on the tea industry last year, and the same effect is predicted to take place in 2025.

According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Japan saw a 185% increase in matcha production from 2010 to 2023 in order to keep up with demand from cafes and home baristas around the world, The Japan Timesreports.

Cup of Couple / PEXELS

Seeing that over half of Japan’s matcha is exported internationally, matcha lovers are looking toward the country for their green tea fix. Search interest for matcha has nearly quadrupled over the past 5 years, and it shows no sign of slowing down.

Olena Bohovyk / PEXELS

This year, mostly organic matcha strains will be affected by the shortage, though lower-grade varieties could face the same issues if consumers begin reaching for them in favor of organic offerings. While top-tier, organic strains like ceremonial-grade matcha are known for being sweeter and smoother, the lower-grade kinds like culinary-grade matcha are noticeably more bitter and don't have the same vibrant color.

Charlotte May / PEXELS

Matcha can only be harvested in the springtime, so though a shortage may be happening now, there’s hope for increased supply in the near future. This year’s harvest will start in April.

Polina Tankilevitch / PEXELS

Even though production will ramp up, Jason Eng of Kametani Tea in Japan, a company that produces matcha for beverage companies around the world, says: “This year will be an interesting one. We haven’t hit a point yet where we’re going to run out, but it’s going to be really tight this autumn – not just for us but for everybody. The demand is off the charts.”
