Guess what’s here to stay? Unique and colorful nail art. The good news for gals like me – you can create a mani masterpiece in minutes just by adding graphic lines. Read on for 3 spring nail ideas!
Fun French
Pick a spring-y pastel base color and then swipe the tips. Mix it up by reversing the colors on an accent nail.
Stripe Nails
I’m always on Team Stripes (aren’t you?) so I’m loving these simple stripes down the middle. Inspired by this Monika Chang version, you can also use a metallic polish.
Geometric Nails
Apply a base coat – I used a soft ballet pink – and let it dry completely. Don’t rush this step! After letting it dry, tape off the nail on a diagonal and apply metallic polish. This is one of my favorite color combinations!
What spring nail trends are you loving? I used to be a no polish girl but this stuff is addicting. Painting your nails is highly recommended while watching The Bachelor finale tonight.
Love your color combos! I’m in the midst of a weird geometric obsession. I think I’m going to have to give that one a try!
i tried the fancy french once with copper and red for the tips
it looks like i had gotten into a fight with a knife. LOL

Ooh I love that fun french manicure — especially the colors!
They look fantastic Stephanie. It’s a pity I can hardly paint my nails and doing anything decorative would be way beyond me!
I always painted my nails in high school, but come college I stopped. I just started again and I love it!! I’m totally trying your geometric nails :)
I have just recently gotten into polishing my nails (every 3-4 days with bottle washing and baby baths.) I love the glitter look with a bold polish base color and silver glitter on top. Now if I could just keep it on longer than 3 days, I’d be set!
I know, doing all that washing wrecks my hands and nails. I love your glitter idea – good thing painting our nails is kind of relaxing, right? :)
Stripe tip is my favourite.
Love the take on the French manicure- last summer I did one with a nude base and neon tips!
