A new season is here, which means it's time to switch up your nail game. Gone are the dark, moody shades of winter, and in are manicures with fresh colors, playful designs, and unexpected twists on classic trends. Whether you love a soft, understated short manicure or something bold and eye-catching, there’s no shortage of inspiration for spring nails.

Pastels are always a go-to for spring, but this year, they’re getting a modern update with chrome finishes and mix-and-match patterns. Floral designs are also making a comeback, but instead of traditional dainty prints, think abstract petals, watercolor effects, and 3D details. If there's any time to experiment with a new look—it's spring, and your nails are the perfect canvas to let your imagination roam free.

Ahead, the 30 spring nail ideas to try that bring all the sweetness of the season.
