The Cutest Short Spring Nails You’ll Want to Copy
1. Blush Nails With Rhinestones

Welcome the spring with blush nails.
The light purple base paired with a pop of pink blush in the center is everything.
Not to mention the rhinestones and star details that take this design to the next level.
If you usually find blush nails to be too basic, I recommend adding nail decals because they totally give the mani a new feel.
2. Pair Blue and Green Pastels

When you’re out of ideas, go with two spring colors like baby blue and pastel green.
Adding abstract details without doing too much definitely makes this mani much more appealing.
Like, imagine if these nails were just painted in these colors with no abstract details or design.
That wouldn’t be as cute.
Also playing around with different shades of blue and green gives these nails oomph.
3. Baby Blue With Cherries

Give your blueberry milk nails a spin by adding a cute design.
To recreate this look, start by doing your nails as usual, then paint little cherries on your accent nail or wherever else you would like.
If you’re not that great a painter, don’t worry!
This look can also be easily recreated by using cherry nail stickers.
4. Simple Blush Nails

I’m loving this milky white base with that pink blush on top.
Anyone who loves simple nail designs will absolutely love this mani.
Unlike the first blush nail design, this one is toned down but still super duper cute.
I also really love the little white star details on this one. Not overdone but still eye-catching.
5. Double French Tips and Abstract Designs

There’s something about abstract designs that makes them look utterly pretty on the nails.
Add a modern twist to the classic french tip nails by adding accent nails and then doing an abstract design for them.
You can go with the swirly abstract vibes they went with in this mani or find another cute way to keep things interesting.
Don’t forget to add some cute daisies for that spring look.
6. Add Butterflies

Love to keep things interesting by going for unique nail designs?!
This butterfly design is the perfect way to make your nails give spring vibes without the usual pastels or florals.
The base coat is Static Nails’ Liquid Glass Lacquer in the shade Elixir and the pink is Essie’s In The You-niverse.
Since the butterfly paintings are intricate, you’ll probably need the help of a nail tech to pull off this look.
7. Dainty French Tip Flowers

You can’t help but fall in love with this nail art.
The tiny little florals are so freaking cute especially since they’re all in different colors.
The little dots also add a fresh twist to the classic french manicure.
If you’re more into simple and minimalist nail designs, this is a spring mani you def need to get!
8. Floral Frenchies

Getting these nails done will be like having a beautiful spring garden on your nails.

9. Pink Daisies

If dainty florals are not your vibe, then go for larger ones.
The pink daisies def make these nails stand out.
Mixing and matching with different nail designs keeps things interesting and well balanced.
So instead of going for a monochrome look for all your nails, try out something different or do accent nails with french tips like they did in this nail design.
10. Gold Foil

The gold foils in this mani add a nice charm and make these nails look less basic.
These are the perfect short spring nails for the girlies who don’t love crazy and intricate nail designs.
If that’s you but you still love getting a cute design for your set, save these nails as inspo for your next nail appointment.
I’m obsessed with how well the blue, white, and gold hues look together.
11. Colorful Florals

These colorful spring florals are undeniably gorgeous.
Having this mani will literally be like having a bouquet of your favorite flowers on your nails.
This is a simple yet cute spring nail design you can also get but with all your favorite flowers instead.
12. Chrome Moment

Can we please take a moment to appreciate how stunning this set is?
Chrome nails are so in right now and they’re not going anywhere soon.
For the perfect spring mani, go with something simple like little white flowers on a nude base, then add chrome on top to give the look more oomph.
Want to recreate these nails at home? This is the chrome they used to create this beautiful set.
13. Spring Florals as French Tips

You can never go wrong with a floral design when it comes to spring nail art.
This idea of painting florals on the tips instead of a classic french mani is genius and super cute.
You can never go wrong with a design like this.
So if you love your frenchies but are looking to switch things around and try something new this spring, go with a modern french tip like this one.
14. Abstract Pastel Vibes

Adding a chrome twist to the regular pastel look adds a touch of glam without doing too much.

Sometimes all it takes is one or two fingers to get that picture-perfect mani that will have everyone taking screenshots.
First of all, the mini french tips are to die for on their own but when you add the flower details, this becomes one of the cutest nail designs ever.

19. Pastel Green With Florals

This is another beautiful spring nail idea you can never go wrong with.
Having two accent nails that look the exact same is great but going for two different vibes on each of the accent nails will keep things interesting.
Like if you go full on florals on one accent nail, try to do subtle florals on the other or go for a different design but keep the colors similar.
phoebesummernails definitely ate with this nail design.
20. Sparkly Pastel Abstract Vibes

Think regular pastel abstract nails aren’t your vibe?
Try adding sparkly swirl lines and you won’t stop staring at your nails.
You could also add pastel swirls but you can’t deny that the sparkle makes these nails even more gorgeous.
This is definitely the perfect design to try when you start feeling like you’ve tried all the cute spring nail designs out there.
21. Muted Cherry Blossoms

Ditch the colorful pastels and go for muted florals the next time you get your nails done.
If you’ve always gone for pastel nail designs every spring, now is the time to try spring nail designs but in muted colors.
The barely there cherry blossoms add a different charm and makes this a warm mani you can’t help but obsess over.
It’s like walking in a blooming cherry blossom garden.
22. Go Pink

Get ready to turn heads with this simple yet cute design.
I’m loving this slanted floral tips moment.
This is such a unique way of using florals instead of the normal french tip.
You can also find another normal french tip nail design like double line or negative space and then replace the lines with flowers for that unique spring mani.
