You know us – any holiday is an excuse for a dreamy mani moment, and Easter nails are no different. The only drawback? They’re battling against a bit of a sugary sweet reputation… because honestly, it’s tricky to make bunnies, chicks and mini eggs look cool, right?
But, while we’ve been scouting socials, we’ve come across countless Easter nail designs that are stylish, seasonal and seriously wearable, no matter where you fall on the minimalist vs maximalist scale.
Take the new-gen florals decorating the fingernails of some of our favourite manicurists and influencers. Graceful, elongated almond nail shapes are still leading trends and help make pretty blooms feel more grown-up. Although we’re also loving the bold, statement wendy house florals we’ve seen breaking through for some modern nostalgia, with big, retro flowers in fun colours dominating each nail.

Elsewhere, we’ve seen speckled mini egg nails skipped in favour of remixing the pastel colour palette. Soft pastels worn as gradients, accents and Frenchies make for a gorgeous nod to spring. And to bring it bang up to trend, you can even play into the glazed shimmer and chrome finishes that are still headlining, since springtime chrome remains a major trend heading through spring and into summer (where shades will become brighter).

By incorporating an Easter colour palette of pastel, yolk yellows and spring greens – alongside pretty flower details, stylish Frenchies and graphic details – there’s endless ways to lean into the theme while keeping it cool, current and on trend.
