Trending colours for your spring nails
While pastel manicures are a must in spring, other colour trends are just as exciting and full of surprises.
Soft and luminous pastels
From melt away pink to sky blue and soft green, pastels capture the gentle spirit of spring and create light, delicate manicures.
Hortencia is a sheer pink nail polish that blends naturally with the nail. A subtle pink designed to enhance your manicure with ease, perfect as a base for a French manicure or soap nails.
Light Blue, a soft pastel blue, brings a touch of sky to your fingertips. It instantly brightens your hands, like a hint of sunshine that is never far away.
Pistachio is a pale green with gentle yellow undertones, fresh and modern. It looks especially beautiful on medium to deep skin tones.

Fruity and vibrant shades
If you love a bolder manicure, fruity shades are a perfect way to bring a playful energy to your easter nails design.
Tangerine is a light orange nail polish full of sunshine and energy, delivering a carefree and uplifting feel.
Pop is a bright pink with orange undertones, a vibrant shade that adds dimension and instantly energises your nails.
Gold Button is a bold and radiant yellow, as bright as a field of buttercups.
For lively Easter manicures, choose Tangerine, Pop or Gold Button.
Natural and minimalist shades
Minimalist manicures are a key trend for spring 2026. Airy whites, nude tones and soft pinks remain timeless choices to enhance the nail with a subtle, clean nails aesthetic.
Milky White is a sheer milky white polish, light and beautifully refined. A delicate veil, like a soft cloud effect.
Pale Rose is the rosy nude of clean girl nails, a sheer pastel pink with a hint of beige.
Pink Sand, with its soft orange undertones, is a modern beige inspired by quiet luxury, elegant, comforting and effortlessly chic.
For flawless clean nails, trust Milky White, Pale Rose and Pink Sand.
Easy nail art ideas to celebrate Easter
While colours set the mood, it is the designs that make easter nails ideas truly unique. Here are a few simple ways to create original and fresh easter nail designs.
Nails inspired by decorated eggs
Fine stripes, polka dots or colourful confetti instantly recall traditional decorated eggs. To recreate these simple and graphic designs, use a liner brush for stripes and confetti, or a dotting tool for dots.
For Easter 2026, here are a few favourites:
- Tangerine orange stripes over a bright white Nebula base.
- Ultramarine polka dots on a Pale Rose base.
- Multicoloured confetti with Pop, Bubble and Pistachio on a Milky White base.
At Easter, embrace playful creativity by choosing one pattern or mixing colours and designs across each nail.

Multicoloured pastel manicure
The multicoloured manicure is one of the most popular options for simple easter nails. The idea is easy: paint each nail in a different pastel shade. The result is joyful, modern and still minimal. We love this look as a mini French manicure using Candy, Bubble, Abricot, Lisa Lilas and Mint on a Pale Rose nude base. Cute and effortlessly stylish.
Spring floral designs
A true symbol of spring, floral patterns bring a soft and delicate touch to easter nails design. With a dotting tool, it is easy to create a bouquet of daisies on your nails. On a Hortencia base, draw the petals with Snow, the centres with Gold Button, and the leaves with a fine brush using Artichaut. For a more graphic look, combine floral designs with a micro French manicure.

Inspiration for elegant and minimalist Easter nails
If you prefer a more understated style, some manicures capture the Easter spirit while staying refined and timeless.
Reimagined pastel French manicure
Play with classic codes by choosing a reverse French manicure with a subtle chrome effect. On a Pale Rose nude base, highlight the base of the nail with a fine metallic line using shades like Disco or Bronzé. Subtle and festive in just the right way.
Subtle details on nude nails
If you love a less is more approach, opt for a nude manicure enhanced with a delicate detail: a tiny flower, a pastel dot or a fine graphic line. For example, a Milky Pink base with a soft dot placed at the centre of the lunula using Mist Grey creates a minimalist yet ultra sophisticated look.
Refined pastel gradient
The pastel gradient is one of the most elegant looks for spring. By blending two or three soft shades, you achieve a subtle and luminous finish. Try a pink and white Baby Boomer nail art for a fresh effect. To recreate this ombré gradient technique, apply Milky Pink as a base, then gently dab Milky White and Snow onto the upper half of the nail using a sponge.
A reverse French, a subtle dot or a soft pink Baby Boomer for simple and elegant Easter nails.
