Move over baby blue – periwinkle is taking over Spring 2025! This gorgeous blend of soft blue and lavender is a must-have for chic, minimalistic manicures or playful nail art. It works beautifully as a full manicure, delicate French tip, or blended into an ombré effect. Pair it with white and lilac for a dreamy, ethereal look.

French manicures are getting a soft, modern update with pastel hues! Instead of the classic white tip, think baby pink, mint green, soft yellow, and lilac for a fresh spring aesthetic. A sheer nude base keeps it elegant, while mixing different pastel shades on each nail adds a playful touch. For an extra dose of charm, a tiny floral accent or a bit of shimmer can elevate the look.

Florals for spring? Always! This season, 3D floral nail art is making a statement. Raised acrylic flowers, pressed blooms, and subtle floral decals bring texture and depth, giving your manicure a fresh and artistic vibe. Whether scattered delicately across the nails or placed as an accent, these tiny blossoms are a stunning way to embrace the season.

Soap nails are all about transparency and shine, giving your nails a clean, natural look. Soft nudes, baby pinks, and sheer whites dominate this trend, mimicking the look of dewy, hydrated nails. A light, jelly-like polish adds the perfect glow, while a pearl accent or minimal gold foil detailing can add a touch of luxury.

Metallic finishes are no longer just for winter! This spring, pastels get a shimmering upgrade with metallic and chrome effects. Rose gold lilacs, icy mint greens, and shimmering sky blues add a unique edge to classic soft shades. Chrome pastel tips offer a futuristic vibe, while a hint of gold foil or metallic sheen adds dimension and a hint of glam.
