The countdown is on for Easter nails. There’s no such thing as too early when it comes to planning your next nail designs – after all, failing to prepare is preparing to fail. So without getting too deep into why you should definitely have some Easter nail art ideas in mind, we have approached some of the industry’s finest nail experts to get your creative juices flowing.
When it comes to Easter nail designs, there are the usual motifs that instantly make us feel in the mood for chocolate eggs. Easter bunny rabbits, pastel florals, and pretty eggs are all common Easter nail art ideas that never fail to make an impression. But for 2024, there are also some fun additions to add to the mix.
In line with the social media coquettish aesthetic, bow nails are trending and make for the perfect feminine touch this Easter. Nail artist Anouska Anastasia who’s been hailed as a “sculpting wizard” and a “nail surgeon” by her Instagram followers, thinks the bow trend is going nowhere as they offer a “cute and girl vibe” for Easter designs.
In case you were wondering what your favourite A-Lister’s nails were set to look like ahead of the seasonal change, Mylee ambassador and A-List manicurist Tinu Belo, who’s worked with the likes of “Killing Eve”‘s Sandra Oh, TV presenter Holly Willoughby, and popstar Anne-Marie, lists nostalgic floral Easter nail art, green nails, and aura nails as making waves this Easter.
“Nostalgic floral nail art will also be everywhere for spring 2024. It’s sunny, uplifting, and happy, and sparks a lot of joy,” Belo tells us. “And green is especially trendy in the run up to spring and summer, as it coincides with nature; green grass, lush trees, and blossoming flowers – so we can definitely expect to see an increase in green manis over the coming months.” She suggests Mylee’s Green There, Done That Gel Polish (£9) for a bolder, brighter green or the Pistachio Gel Polish (£9) for a gorgeous, pale pistachio shade.
And aura nails, which have crept into the zeitgeist in the last few months of 2023 are set to have their moment this Easter, following trends set by the likes of Megan Fox and Vanessa Hudgens, who have both sported the look. “It’s a beautiful, airbrushed look that takes inspiration from the aura surrounding you. What better way to celebrate the beautiful spring than with a stunning aura mani,” Belo adds.
So if you’re on the lookout for Easter nail art ideas ahead of lighter evenings and mini egg marathons, you’re in luck. Read ahead for some of our favourite Easter nail inspiration.
