So fresh spring nail arts!
The first rays of sunshine, the softness of the air, the blossoming trees... it makes you want fun patterns, pastel shades, and pretty graphic effects. Here are some spring nail art inspirations, for short or long nails, to try without delay.
Dots & Fancy Confetti
Dots are the super easy nail art within everyone’s reach! While they let you play with colors, they also have the advantage of giving the impression of a very elaborate and ultra-trendy manicure in no time.
Bring spring to life on your nails with this playful and energetic Pétula dots nail art. On a slightly pinkish white base achieved with Gloss, create dots using a dotting tool with the pink polish Pétula. Repeat the look on all your nails or alternate nails with Pétula all over and the polka dot nail arts.
For Easter nails with simple little patterns, go for multicolored dots that will surely remind you of the decorated eggs hidden in the garden. To create this easy nail art: start with a light or nude base, then alternate colored dots. Pop, Bubble, Pistachio... have fun with original colors. Thanks to the dotting tool, you can draw regular dots and you’re done.
To add a festive touch to your manicure, cover your nails with a multitude of confetti. The principle is the same as for multicolored dots: a white or nude base on which you draw small colored strokes instead of dots. Preferably use a liner brush, which is more precise and delicate.
French mani madness!
With French manicures, a whole range of nail arts opens up to you. Mini French, reverse French, double French, gradient French... For a seasonal French, opt for a play of soft colors full of finesse and subtlety.
For those seeking good vibes and freshness, a pastel mini French is the perfect manicure. This essential yet subtle nail art takes the nude color base of a classic French manicure and twists it by replacing the white polish with a pastel stroke. You can choose to keep a single shade or use several polish colors. The best part of this adorable nail art: it’s ideal for short nails.
For even more fun, go for an offbeat version with pop and vibrant colored polishes applied along the nail edge but also on the lunula. And don’t hesitate to mix colors on the same nail.
Flower power
Enjoy floral bouquets right on your nails to celebrate the arrival of this beautiful season. Among the best nail art trends right now, floral patterns are a must-have. Between playing with colors and shapes, the key is to have fun and dare to try floral nail art for a spring-colored manicure.
Like a pointillist painter, arm yourself with a dotting tool and make countless colorful petals bloom on your nails for a super trendy floral nail art. Place small touches of polish Porcelaine, Candy, and Brazil along the edge of the nail and in solid areas to create the illusion of a field of small flowers.
Here are beautiful daisies that have everything to please with their white petals Snow and their glittery center Rose Gold. This duo of bright shades pairs perfectly with sky blue Lilas for a spring vibe as soft as it is joyful. A floral nail art to adopt without hesitation for trendy nails!
Graphic pastel
Spring is the season when pastel colors fully express themselves. Soft and bright, they gain strength and style when paired with graphic shapes.
Bringing sunshine into your life has never been easier than with this Spring Waves manicure which uses a pretty yellow Mimosa as base coat and some pink Candy waves drawn with a fine brush, perfect for stunning nails.
To give an aquatic touch to your spring nail art, apply a base coat of Lilas blue then draw fine vertical white Snow lines using a liner brush.
Finally, for those who prefer more abstract manicure styles, we recommend a Bubble nail art. Apply pastel color blocks on your nude nails like delicate and poetic soap bubbles.

The right habits to succeed in your nail art
A nail art done by the book relies on good preparation and proper techniques. Here are the key nail art tips:
Nail preparation
-
File your nails with a natural nail file to give them the desired shape.
-
Take care of your cuticles by softening them with a few drops of Effective Emollient then gently push them back using a cuticle pusher or a boxwood stick.
-
Gently polish the nail surface with a preparatory file for better polish adhesion and remove residue with a degreaser or a gentle remover.
The right accessories
Some tools are essential to create your best nail art inspirations:
-
The dotting tool, with double tips, is ideal for perfectly making dots, hearts, or floral patterns.
-
The liner brush allows for more precision for finer dots or lines.
-
The nail art brush makes creating detailed designs easier.
Used together or separately, they offer professional-level results.
The right techniques
Following a methodical application ensures good tenue of your nail art over time and perfect nails. To do this, you need to go through these three essential steps:
#1 A layer of base coat to protect the nail.
#2 A layer of Green™ or Green Flash™ color on which, after drying, you create your nail art.
#3 Seal everything with a top coat for a long-lasting manicure. The drying drops can also help if you use Green™ polish.
⚠️ The most important thing is to let each layer dry well to prevent colors from smudging. If you use Green Flash™ semi-permanent polishes, curing under a UV lamp between each step is necessary.
Hydration and post-manicure care
Taking care of your nails before and after the manicure is the essential step to have healthy nails, whether bare or with polish.
