Is there any better nail art for spring and summer than flowers? Sure, we love fruity looks with cherries and blueberries as much as the next person, and we’ll always have a soft spot for beautiful butterflies. But flowers are an especially potent symbol of new beginnings and fresh starts. Not to mention: They’re just really pretty.
If you’re as keen on flower nail art ideas as we are—and are particularly fond of more intricate, maximalist mani ideas—you’re in the right place. Ahead, we rounded up 18 of our favorite 3D flower nail art ideas. Keep scrolling to see them.
Summer Vibes
Yellow is, without a doubt, one of our absolute go-to hues for spring and summer, and we can’t get enough of the butter yellow, mustard, and gold blend in this set. The mismatched look includes French tips, 3D flowers, and even a touch of chrome.
Flowers in Bloom
Real flowers may only flourish for a few short days, but nail art flowers will last for weeks. Look closely, and you’ll notice how the speckles on these flowers are also on the French tips. Stunning!
Spring Fling
When we first laid eyes on this spring fling mani, we knew it deserved a spot on our mood board. The pearlescent nails have gorgeous mermaid vibes, but we think the 3D flower is the real star of the show.
Pastel Aura
We don’t know about you, but this pastel aura mani makes us want to book a trip to Hawaii ASAP. You can try DIY-ing a 3D flower manicure with nail charms, but if you’d prefer builder gel flowers, we suggest taking this photo to your nail tech for inspo.
Pop of Orange
If you’re down to go bold with your spring manicure, we suggest pairing blue and orange. The contrasting color scheme makes a strong (and eye-catching) statement.
Super Fresh
Nothing says spring quite like florals in pink, green, and yellow hues. We love how the artist utilized 3D elements on this set. From flowers to swirls, there’s so much going on (in the best way).
Short and Vibrant
You can embrace 3D flowers without long, or even medium-length, nails. The vibrant color pairings in this super short set are especially fun.
Red Petals
Red and gold might feel holiday-coded, but trust us: The combo can definitely work for spring. Here, swirly gold chrome tips and red 3D flowers look sophisticated and tropical.
Orchids
Achieving an orchid nail moment like this one is easier than you might think. After painting on classic white French tips, use nail glue to affix orchid nail charms to your middle fingers. That’s it!
Juicy Fruits
Fruits and flowers go hand in hand, as this darling set demonstrates! This juicy manicure features an overload of pink details, and we’re beyond obsessed with the result.
Chrome Accents
We’re firmly Team Chrome. The dusting of gold and pink chrome over these subtle 3D flowers is so unique (and bound to get you compliments left and right).
Textured Floral Frenchy
A classic French nail will never go out of style, but if you want to take yours to the next level, take note from this mani and add some florals. After painting on light pink French tips, grab some white flower decals and pop on some rhinestones for a touch of bling.
Pink and Green
Matcha green and dusty pink? Yes, please! Together, these springy colors make for one beautiful manicure, and 3D flowers only add to the appeal.
All the Florals
The bigger, the better! From the white French tips and extra-long silhouette to the different flowers on each finger, this 3D look is a must for any mani maximalist.
Butter Yellow
What do you get when you combine aura nails with 3D flowers in butter yellow? This glorious masterpiece. The combo of pale and bright yellow is *chef’s kiss,* and the dainty flowers elevate the whole look.
Feeling Blue
These pink and blue nails are total and utter perfection. Each finger is different, yet together, they look totally cohesive. If we had to choose a fave nail, though, it would have to be the cobalt digit with a 3D flower (of course).
Rhinestone Details
Rhinestone flowers? Say less. If you plan on emulating this look, we suggest keeping the soft strawberry milk base. It creates the perfect simple canvas that allows the gemstone florals to really shine.
Vibrant Flowers
This vibrant flower mani has such great retro vibes, and the more freehand, fuller flowers make us think of Spongebob. Really, could this set be any cuter?
