11 Pressed Flower Manicures That Will Become Your Spring Obsession

There’s no better way for a beauty lover to ring in spring than with some epic nail art — especially when it involves actual nature. This season, forgo your typical nude nails and opt for a freshly picked mani instead. Pressed flower manicures embrace your inner flower child, and they happen to also be incredibly easy to DIY.

Here’s how: Simply paint your base coat and let it fully dry. Then lay mini, dried flowers (or petals) on top. Flatten the sides of the flowers with a nail art tool, and seal it all in with a clear top coat (or two for good measure). Done and done!

Keep scrolling for a bit of inspo with these 11 nail looks that are full of real flower power.

4. Bold and Bright: One way to really get into the spring spirit is with a cheery hue, like sunshine yellow, that you can wear with your botanical nails.

5. Ombre Blues: You don’t have to fully paint all of your nails to get the max impact of this gorgeous style. Opt for a cool shade and give the ombre treatment to any nails you aren’t spring-ifying with florals and your initials.

6. Glitter Tips: If you’re normally someone who goes with a French manicure, upgrade it with glitter and florals for the season. It’s delicate and dainty in a totally trend-right way.

10. Gold Touches: Add a bit of class to your floral manicure with some expertly placed gold accents that really bring out the beauty of the flowers. Use an uber thin brush to give the illusion of gold stems for your bold buds.

11. Subtle and Stunning: Arranging your dried flowers and petals in circles or triangles adds an edgy touch to any mani. Go for a single statement nail or spread the love all over your digits.
