Spring Nails Trends 2025
Sweet pastels tend to come back year after year in spring, especially as we get closer to Easter. But with social media trends more accessible than ever, we narrowed down some of our favorite spring nails trends for 2025:
Almond nails – While long, stiletto nails are still super popular, we noticed a surge in “almond nails” searches on Pinterest. This refers to the shape of the nails, namely – you guessed it – almond-shaped. Rounded at the base and pointier towards the tip, without too sharp of an angle. The shape is elongating and thus a celebrity favorite.
Soap nails – A clean, minimalist look that recently started trending, soap nails are milky, neutral (think nude, beige or soft pinks) and short. They might just become our new favorite mani!
Glazed donut – Technically trending since last spring, the glazed donut manicure can be traced back to Hailey Bieber. The soft, slightly pearly nail polish (think donut glaze!) is perfect for everyday spring wear, and at the same time ideal for spring weddings or parties.
3D flowers – Florals for spring may not be groundbreaking anymore, but we can’t help ourselves. Even if you’re not into gel nails, you have to admit these 3D flower designs are like mini works of art.
