I've Found Them—9 Easter Nail Designs That Feel Genuinely Cool
Easter is the perfect time to experiment with your manicure. These are the designs we're saving ahead of the long weekend.
Nothing beats Easter. To me, it always marks the start of spring, and I love taking the long weekend to refresh my space, bring out my brightly coloured clothes and eat lots of chocolate, of course. Another thing I have to look forward to this Easter is a nail appointment. This is my first manicure in over three months, as I've been giving my nails a break and admiring all the biggest spring nail trends from afar. However, now that my nails feel healthy again, I thought I'd treat myself to a gel manicure for the special occasion.
Before I head to the salon, I've been doing lots of research into what easter nail designs are proving popular. While I'm usually a milky manicure gal through and through, Easter is the time to have fun with my nails and go for something different, like a bright colour (to match my wardrobe) or even some nail art.
I've been scrolling through some of the best nail artists' Instagram accounts, and have come across so many good nail ideas that it's proving hard to pick just one. Below, I've shared my favourite Easter nail designs with you, alongside lots of product recommendations if you want to try them out at home. You are welcome.
