11 Easter Nail Ideas That Look Chic Enough To Wear Well Into Spring

PSA: Hailey has officially swapped her pearlescent glazed doughnut nails for something a whole lot more colourful. Her recent stint of Instagram posts all feature this yellow passionfruit set which doesn't compromise on the sheen factor – an Easter-appropriate glazed doughnut set if you will.

This fresh take on the French manicure sees a play for five different coloured nail tips which will surely lift spirits. In fact, pro nail artist Iram Shelton even notes 'colours can affect/ change our moods. Looking at warm or bright colours releases dopamine — known as the “feel-good hormone” — which can improve our mood'. Need any more reason to try this? Image: @iramshelton

Celebrity manicurist Tom Bachik (the genius behind JLo and Selena Gomez's best nail moments) marked the coming of spring with this vibrant set. Oranges, white and florals are calling_. Image: @tombachik_

For those who want to up the ante and get super creative, Iram used Gucci's three new Vernis à Ongles shades, £26 each, to create this retro swirly-cum-dotty geometric look. Image: @iramshelton.

Speaking of swirls, Bryony Howell's modern French mani features negative space nail art to create this fun and vibrant look. Using pastel hues from The GelBottle Inc™, Bryony ensured each nail was coated in two different complimentary shades that bring the set extra dimension. Image: @gelsbybry

Ever considered overlapping your French tip with two different colours? If not, allow BIAB nail expert Alexandra Teleki to school you. She used The GelBottle Inc™ polishes in Turner’s Sunset, Carrie’s Cosmo and Barbie,£14.50 each, to create this dual-toned, ombre look. Image: @thehotblend.

If you're really looking to make your nails the moment, take inspiration from this 3D masterpiece. Inspired by the trend for coquette aesthetics (think: old-school femininity steeped in pinks, pearls and bows), nail artist Melanie used gel nail extensions, a glazed doughnut base and tiny trinkets to create this showstopper.

Want to keep things minimal and chic? This fun take on the French mani manages to look sleek and neutral, while still offering up some fun. Nail artist Sarah used OPI's Put it in Neutral, £14.90, as the foundation of this set before carefully designing delicate swirl motifs. Image: @heluviee.

Melanie's recent set was born out of the rising demand she has seen for spring nails. Key to the look is nailing (no pun intended) the dotting technique used to create the flowers seen above. She notes you can start off with an inexpensive tool from Amazon, or better yet 'you can also substitute with items like bobby pins, toothpicks or pen cap,' she notes. Image: @overglowedit.

Good enough to eat. This impressive number could easily pass for Cadbury Mini Eggs. Nail Artist Misha Eloise cracked the code to create hues and a texture that is identical to the chocolate treat. Image: @mishaeloisenails.

You don't always need to opt for pastel colours to create a spring-appropriate look. Manicurist Lindsey Cunningham's style features earthy tones which sit elegantly next to her gold jewellery.
