Micro Floral Spring Nail Art
We can't have a spring roundup without including some form of floral artwork, so here we have the micro florals. Have you ever seen such cute spring gel nails ?
We don't think, we know this will be theit girllook for spring this year and every year after that. She's just so precious.
We are literally in awe of this intricate design, but if you watch the video, we think anyone can have a go at this gorgeous set . As long as you have the right products...
Products You Need
Starting off with the shades, our girl @anouskaanastasia is using The Massive Kit , from which she is using a combo of:
To create your floral design, you'll also need some tools inside The Massive Kit, including a dotting tool and two nail art brushes .
Ombre Spring Gel Nails
Spring gel ombre nails.Ah, the holy grail of nail art designs. Ombre has been with us since records began (slight exaggeration), and we don't see them leaving anytime soon.
So, you may as well add them to your list of go-to nail designs for spring because, frankly, we think this set is bold and bright for a ‘spring’ in your step. Get it?
Products You Need
Along with your regular Mylee products, you need our Notting Hill Pressed Pigment Palette . And she is a beauty.
In the vid, the shade Pink Door is used, but the palette is so spring-coded that you could use any shade and still be on theme .
The only other thing you'll need is a neutral base, like So Nude , Strawberry Milkshake , or our Light Pink Builder Gel .
Abstract Pastel Spring Gel Nails
These pastel spring gel nails are the perfect set for Easter . They remind us of real speckled Easter eggs and bunnies, and we think they're just too cute.
Nothing says spring like charming pale nails that swirl like marble.
Although the set looks tricky, the design is actually super easy to achieve if you have the right products, so let's get into the must-haves.
Products You Need
All you need for this gorgeous set is our groundbreaking Blooming Marble Gel Polish Quad and one of our fine nail art brushes .

Builder Gel + Gem Embellishments
Sparkle szn doesn't just have to be for December festivities, and we see no problems with bringing thisb-e-autiful set into spring.
The micro floral design trend paired with tiny gems is a match made in heaven , and, tbh, we could rock this set all year round.
It's pretty much illegal not to create at least one floral design during the second season, so if you're just doing one, let it be these spring builder gel nails.
Products You Need
The polishes you need are Light Pink Builder Gel , Break The Ice , and Candy Girl .
You also need a dotting tool to create the mini flowers, and our Crown Jewels Nail Art Kit for the gems.
If you're unfamiliar with the application of gems, it’s super quick and simple; here are the steps :
Apply a dot of 5-In-1 Builder Gel to where you’d like your gem.
Choose your gem and use the bending tool in the kit to shape it to your preference.
Using a dotting tool, place the gem over the Builder Gel and cure to secure .
Go over it again with Builder Gel to encapsulate the gem .
Negative Space Nails
Negative space nails are newer to the nail art scene, but we're not mad about them, and you shouldn't be, either.
Negative space nail art is all about utilising your natural nails within designs , and we think it's brilliant!
Plus, this set is rather gorgeous, especially for spring. The chalky white is bright, airy, and pure , imitating the season of new beginnings.
Products You Need
The base for this look is Ghosting , a very sheer shade that subtly shows off the natural nail. The star is created with Break The Ice Liner Gel to help you create the shape more accurately.
Short French Tip Nails
We couldn't possibly continue with our roundup without talking about the ever-popular French tip , and naturally, it'll be featured quite heavily throughout spring. We can imagine, anyway.
If you love a subtle nail with a slight pop of colour, this one's for you . You don't have to go crazy with the designs during spring if that's not your vibe.
The limey goodness of this look is unmatched, and we just love how versatile it is with all skin tones, outfits, and personal looks.
We also love short spring gel nails, so this set is ideal for those rocking the shorter, clean girl aesthetic .
Products You Need
For your base colour, we suggest something subtle, so So Nude or Flix And Chill would work perfectly. For the tip, it's Lime Cordial all the way.
If you struggle with your Frenchies, we suggest using our Stamp It Out tool, which makes creating French tips a dream .
Cute Spring Gel Nail Art
You've met minimalist French tip. Now meet its unhinged cousin – maximalist French tip . And they are definitely not the neutral spring gel nails you've seen before.
When we say unhinged we mean that in the best way btw . This set would look phenomenalduring spring.
It's bright, it's floral, and like the Insta caption says, it's giving Claude Monet . Who wouldn't want to attempt this set?
Ugh, it belongs in an art gallery.
Products You Need
Now, @follow_my_nail_journey used a plethora of colours for this look, and from what we can tell, they are:
You also need a fine nail art brush and a dotting tool to do the intricate water lilies. This set might require a steady hand and a bit of practice , but we're sure you'll get there.
Top Tip: To get the water effect on the tip, the designer mixed Break The Ice with some Clear Top Coat and dotted it on with a dotting tool!
Textured Gel Art
Yes, yes, and yes to this artsy spring gel nail set. The ocean blue is a little nod to the incoming blue skies and seas of spring, and the clear gel is almost like running water to remind us that spring in the UK is, in fact, still drizzly.
Anyway, that's the deep stuff out of the way.
On a real note, we think these classy spring gel nails have simplicity with a little edge , and they're just the perfect set to start the season off with.
Products You Need
To get the 3D effect in this set, @by.jals used our Clear 5-in-1 Builder Gel , but we actually have aspecific 3D Nail Art Kit that would do the job just as well, if not better.

Iridescent Layers
Last but certainly not least is this iridescent shimmery number, providing sunshine and joy all round .
They're pink, they're beautiful, and they're the perfect spring glitter gel nails. So if you're just as obsessed with glittery things as we are, you're gonna love these nails .
Products You Need
To achieve the swirly effect, you need only the shades A Pinch Of Salt , Bouquet Toss , Kiss The Season , and a dotting tool.
