How to Get the Flowery Nail Look
With the right products and techniques, achieving this fresh look at home or with your nail tech is easy.
Here’s the best way to get the perfect flowery nail trend:
Prep Your Nails– Start with nail polish remover to clean off any old polish, then shape your nails into a short or natural shape. Use an orangewood stick to push back cuticles for that pristine cuticle look.
Hydrate & Protect– Apply cuticle oil and hand cream to keep your nails looking healthy and nourished. A solid foundation is key to achieving that healthy shine. Add your good-quality base coat and let it dry.
Thin Layers of Polish– Look for a pale pink base, a darker shade, or a shimmery pink. These shades should be light enough for your flower art to shine. Apply thin coats for a soft, even finish.
Add your flowers– You can use nail art brushes and colours of your choice to paint the flowers (dot by dot).
High-Shine Finish– The fun part is sealing it all with a high-shine top coat to create that pretty floral nail look. This will give your nails a glossy finish and enhance the pink base, depending on your preferred look.
Clean Up & Moisturise– Use an orangewood stick dipped in nail polish remover to clean excess polish.
Daily TLC– Apply another layer of hand cream for that perfect example of a good manicure, and bonus points if you reapply cuticle oil daily to maintain that fresh look.
With the right products and techniques, achieving this fresh look at home or with your nail tech is easy.
Floral Designs for the Spring Season
Nothing says spring like delicate daisies or other floral designs. You can go subtle with a milky base and a small flower in the centre of each nail, or make it bold with bright colors like hot pink and sunny yellow shades.
Floral nails are super versatile, whether you want something cute and simple or totally over-the-top.
Pastel Tones
Pastel nails are always a hit this time of year. Think mint green, baby blue, soft pinks, and even a peach fuzz shade to match those dreamy spring colors. These soft shades look great on everyone, no matter your skin tone, and they’re perfect for both short nail designs and longer nails.

The Ultimate Spring Mani Trends
If you’re heading to a nail salon, ask your nail artist about some of the latest trends, like aura nails or geometric shapes.
Or, if you’re like me and do it yourself at home, grab a dotting tool and experiment with polka dots or an airy look inspired by April showers. There’s no better way to show off your personality than with a unique style that feels like you.
No matter your style, spring is the easiest way to mix things up. Maybe you’re inspired by social media trends or just looking to brighten your nails for the season; there’s no better time to get creative.
So go get your favorite spring nail colors, and let’s welcome the spring season with a mani that makes you smile every time you look at it!
