Creating a look like this starts with a saturated orange gel such as OPI A Good Mandarin Is Hard to Find or a similar DND neon orange shade. After curing the base, I use dotting tools and ultra thin brushes to add colorful shapes one by one. Curing between steps helps keep every detail sharp.
Personally I love this kind of manicure when spring finally feels warm. It’s bold, a little artsy, and impossible to ignore.
Soft Pastel Almond Nails with Modern Animal Print
This design leans into playful pastel color blocking. Almond nails alternate between soft yellow and coral pink shades, while two accent nails introduce a subtle animal print pattern layered with flowing white lines. The combination feels trendy yet light enough for the season.
To recreate this manicure at home I usually choose creamy pastel gels like OPI Exotic Birds Do Not Tweet for yellow and a coral tone from the DND spring collection. After curing the base colors, I add irregular black spots with a dotting tool and finish with thin white curves for that layered abstract effect.
What I like about this style is how simple it actually is. Even small details can transform basic pastel nails into something fun and fashion-forward.
Spring Daisy French Nails with Red Tips
Ending on something cheerful and sweet. This almond manicure uses a sheer pink base paired with glossy red French tips that are decorated with tiny white dots along the edge. Over the soft base, delicate white daisies with sunny yellow centers bloom across a few nails, bringing a fresh spring garden feeling to the design.
To build this look I usually start with a translucent pink gel base like OPI Bubble Bath. The red tips can be painted with a thin liner brush using a bright cherry gel shade. The daisies are surprisingly easy – a dotting tool for the petals and a small yellow center brings the flowers to life.
For Easter, this might be one of my favorite ideas. It’s cute, light, and instantly puts me in a spring mood every time I look down at my hands.
Olive Green Easter Nails with Gold Stud Frame
This manicure leans into one of the deeper spring tones that has been quietly trending lately – olive green. Most nails are coated in a glossy solid olive shade, creating a calm and slightly earthy base. Two accent nails keep the natural pink base visible and frame the center of the nail with a neat oval outline made from tiny gold studs. The contrast between the neutral base, metallic detailing, and the dark green polish makes the design feel elegant without becoming overly decorative.
To recreate something similar, I usually start with a builder gel base in a soft nude tone like OPI Bubble Bath. The olive color can be achieved with shades similar to OPI Suzi The First Lady of Nails or a dark green from the DND gel palette. After curing the color layers, small gold studs can be placed along the oval shape using nail glue or thick top coat.
Personally, I like this type of manicure when I want something simple but still eye-catching. The metallic detail catches the light beautifully and feels slightly festive for Easter gatherings.
Bright Pastel Almond Easter Nails with Black Leaf Design
Spring manicures often return to playful pastel colors, and this almond set captures that mood perfectly.

The contrast between the colorful tips and the graphic leaf art gives the manicure a modern street-style feel.
For a look like this I usually pick pastel gel colors from spring collections such as OPI Do You Lilac It or a soft yellow from DND. The black leaf details can be drawn with a fine liner brush using gel paint after the base layers are fully cured.
I like how cheerful this manicure feels. It reminds me of those first warm weekends when everyone suddenly brings color back into their outfits again.

For Easter season I like this manicure because it feels subtle and elegant. It works beautifully if you prefer neutral spring nails rather than bright colors.
Minimal Nude Easter Nails with Sky Blue Floral Art
Sometimes the most beautiful spring manicures stay very minimal. Here the base remains a translucent nude pink, letting the natural nail tone show through. Over that soft background, simple sky-blue leaf shapes spread across each almond nail, creating a light and airy botanical pattern.
For this design I usually start with a sheer gel base like OPI Baby Take a Vow. A pastel blue gel paint is then applied with a fine brush to create the leaf shapes. Because the base is translucent, even simple artwork stands out beautifully.
Personally I find these types of nails perfect for everyday spring wear. They feel clean, fresh, and very easy to pair with any outfit.
Soft Pink Easter Nails with Blue Tips and Daisy Art

Soft Tulip Pastel Nails for a Fresh Easter Mood
There is something about tulips that instantly says spring. The soft nude base paired with delicate tulip illustrations feels like a quiet garden moment right on your fingertips. I love how the almond shape elongates the fingers while keeping the design elegant and light.

It feels simple, pretty pastel, and surprisingly wearable for everyday life.
