Spring Florals

Floral nail designs bring intricate detail and artistic flare to a plain set of nails, instantly elevating their appearance. Begin with a clear base coat and use a fine nail art brush to paint small flowers for an eye-catching spring manicure.

If bright florals aren’t your style, try going for something darker like this matte black floral manicure design. This look takes the softness of flowers and adds an unabashed rebelliousness that’s sure to get noticed!

Checkerboard

Checkered nails are an edgier take on nail art that offer a way to break out of your comfort zone and try something different. Checkered patterns may use black and white like this design or may feature multiple colors for more complex patterns.

Checkerboards are squared boards with alternately light and dark squares, usually used for playing board games such as chess or draughts. Additionally, checkerboards may be decoratively applied to clothing, furniture and other surfaces as an alternating pattern or decoration.

Marble

Marble nails are back, this time with a warm mocha hue! This style embodies sophistication while remaining playful for maximum versatility.

This look can be accomplished easily in just a few steps and supplies that may already be at home. First, prepare and apply a base coat to protect your nails before filling a small bowl with room-temperature water and adding various nail polish colors contrasting to one another into it – then swirl the colors together!

Gradient

Are you ready to step into this trendy trend with gusto? Why not give a rainbow gradient manicure a try? This look features various shades of pink, yellow and green polish on each nail for a vibrant and engaging effect.

If you love summer sunsets, this design will leave you feeling calm. A combination of soft pastel colors create a soothing gradient base, accented by palm tree silhouettes for an exotic vibe – making this an excellent manicure choice for vacations or beach outings this season!

Tartan

Plaid nail designs are an adorable winter must-have that add a cozy, chic aesthetic. According to nail artist Sigourney Nunez, plaid nails “exude preppy charm,” and pair nicely with both shirts and skirts–such as in this set of tartan accents on short oval nails featuring shades of blue, crimson, olive green for eye-catching contrast; silver buttons add an adorable handmade quality.
