27 Pink Nail Designs That Are Perfect For Spring

Pink is a universally flattering shade that works at any time of year. We can all agree, however, that it looks especially good in the spring months, when the sun reappears and the flowers start to bloom. From frothy and feminine florals and cute bows and hearts, to full on camp (think 3D gems, jelly finishes and OTT tips), there’s a pink manicure to suit everyone. And if just you can’t decide, why not keep it simple with a classic (and pink-based) French?

Here are some of the best pink nail designs to try now.

If you opt to keep to a simple, solid color, try a glossy, sheer shade instead of something too opaque. It’s a modern way to wear pink and helps create the illusion of longer, healthier nails, too.

Why is pink so popular for nails?

Pink comes in a variety of shades—from soft nude to Barbiecore pink. That means it can work across a range of occasions, skin tones, and seasons. For a nail tech, pink is also a color that works well with a range of other hues and designs.

What are some trending pink shades for 2025?

Muted, milky soft pinks are set to be major across 2025. For summer, you can consider shades of berry, deeper pinks with a hint of red or purple that feel both bold and chic. Textured looks are also having a moment—think jelly finishes and mattes. The cat-eye isn’t going away either, and gives an almost satin effect.
