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)
