Who doesn’t love springtime? The days get longer, it starts getting warmer, and the flowers bloom. We shove our Winter wardrobe into storage, and break out the florals and sundresses.
Like always, with these seasonal transitions in fashion, nail trends also change. Below are five of our favorite nail trends for Spring 2025. All of these trends fully embrace the bright colors or girly designs typically associated with Spring.
1. Pastels
Pastels are a springtime staple every year. After months and months of the deeper and darker shades of Winter, we all naturally gravitate towards colorful pastels. The bright light colors represent everything that Spring embodies. From the budding and blooming flowers to the sunshine to Easter, pastels make their way into it all. The more gentle tone of pastels, as compared to the intense vibrancy of neons, is the perfect way to dress up or accessorize any outfit as the weather continues to get warmer.

2. Butter Yellow
We saw butter yellow be a popular color in overall fashion and beauty trends last Spring, and we are happy to announce that it’s back! Pale yellow is an irresistible color. It looks extremely beautiful on everyone. It reminds us of the sunshine and warmth while still being incredibly feminine. It represents joy and happiness. If a completely yellow manicure is too intimidating for you, try a yellow floral pattern on top of a neutral base. This will still give you a fun pop of color!

3. Neutral Browns
Pantone has named Mocha Mousse as the 2025 Color of the Year, so it’s no surprise that warm brown hues are slated to be popular this Spring. With the welcoming of the bright colors and pastels in Spring fashion, sometimes a neutral nail is wanted and necessary. Neutrals pair very nicely with any outfit. They can add a subtle or rich bit of color that compliments the more colorful fashion trends. Neutral brown shades also add an appreciated touch of earthiness to all the florals we traditionally see in Spring.

4. Fruit Art
Fruit themed nail art is one of the cutest trends for the Spring and Summer. We saw cherries have a moment in the second half of 2024, but with the sunshine and warmer weather coming this Spring, we’re going to see a revival of citrus and berries. Designs like lemons and strawberries will be a popular choice. These designs are also super cute for any springtime picnics. Grab some basic polish colors, and recreate these designs yourself for a fun at-home Spring spa day!

5. Coquette
Like in 2024, it looks like coquette nails are predicted to continue to be a fan favorite this year. Whether it’s bows, hearts, lace or cherries, people are choosing dainty, girly designs. These simple yet beautiful designs pair perfectly with flouncy, flowy, floral sundresses. Plus, because of how minimal these designs are, they’re super easy to recreate at home.

6. BONUS!! Short Nails
Short nails are predicted to be big this Spring. This means people are going to embrace their natural nails more and finish them with a polish. It’s important to give your nails a break from acrylics and gel polish, and this Spring is the perfect time to do so.
