Floral nail art for spring isn’t a novel concept, but combining it with the latest nail trends and products can make it as fresh as the blooms at your local farmers’ market. This season’s designs feature cat-eye effects, jelly finishes, and lots of texture. You’ll see beads, gems, and even actual flowers encased in clear polish.
And there’s something for everyone. For nail-art minimalists, these additions can be more of a whisper than a shout—a little extra something for you and your loved ones to enjoy as you have brunch outdoors. For those who want a more dramatic look, there are 3D designs for you to screenshot and take to your manicurist.
Your floral manicure doesn’t have to be perfect, either. “My favorite way to do floral nail art these days is more of a random, uneven placement,” says Annie Ngo, a nail artist in Atlanta. “I also love mixing florals with French tips or subtle cat-eye backgrounds to add a little depth while still keeping it delicate.”

Floral manicures are always pretty, but this look takes the feminine vibe to the next level. We love the almost translucent shine of these jelly petals placed artfully over a sheer pink base. Plus, the single rhinestone on each nail gives this manicure just the right amount of bling.
