Are you wondering what hues to choose for the mismatched pastel tips? This particular manicure relies on complementary colors like purple, yellow, orange, and blue. You could also play with analogous colors located next to each other on the color wheel, like red, blue, and purple. Also, a monochromatic look with varying shades of green, for example, would be pretty.

Ombre Tips with Glitter Moons
Have you tried doing ombre nails yet? This popular look can be achieved in multiple ways. One of the easiest methods is to sponge on the darker shade, gradually blending it into the base color.
But how can you get this milky effect over the glitter if you don't do acrylics? Pour out four drops of clear top coat and add a single drop of white polish. Stir and assess. If needed, add more of whichever ingredient is lacking.
Mix and Match Spring Nails
Show off your playful side with mismatched nails. Confetti and nail stickers make it simple to dress up this look. These are acrylics, but you can accomplish something similar with any type of polish.
What Colors for Easter Nail Designs?
Peach fuzz was Pantone's color of the year. Milky colors and soft shades are trending. Those hues alone provide many options for Easter nail designs. But if you're curious about whether certain colors have a special meaning for Easter, here's a brief overview.
Easter exists because of both pagan and Christian religions. Before Jesus was said to resurrect on Easter Sunday, pagans already celebrated the rebirth of spring around the vernal equinox.
One such celebration was the festival of Eostre, a goddess associated with spring and fertility. According to Bede, a 7th-8th century English monk, the month of April was called “Eosturmonath” in Old English in her honor. The Christian holiday of Easter was named after Eostre, and many of the traditions associated with Easter, such as the Easter bunny and the exchange of eggs, have their roots in that festival.
Certain colors are traditionally featured at Eastertide. For example, purple is the color of Lent, the 40 days of fasting and penance leading up to Easter when Christians prepare to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus.
Soft pink is the color of sunrises and delicate spring flowers, and it’s associated with joy. Pink is used exclusively on Laetare Sunday, the fourth Sunday of Lent.
Gold is reserved for Easter Sunday to celebrate the joy of Christ's triumph over death. Cheerful yellow is also the color of baby chicks and sunshine, symbolizing the rebirth and renewal of spring.
White is often linked to purity and new life.
Some of the earliest Easter eggs were dyed red to symbolize the blood of Christ. Red Easter eggs remain traditional in many Eastern European cultures today.
Incorporating these colors into your nail designs can honor the season and its rich traditions.

Micro French Tips with Flowers
The miniature blossoms and vibrant pastels are a retro 90s touch on these micro French nails. But the understated look is not a new variation on an old theme. Mini French manicures have been around for decades. They recently resurged in popularity thanks to celebrities like Selena Gomez and Ariana Grande. Part of their appeal is that the thin strip of color makes short nails seem longer.
Nail Sticker Fun
You don't have to spend a lot of time or money to have a colorful Easter nail design. Nail stickers can make magic happen in moments.

Revitalize Your Nails for Easter
Wintertime is harsh on fingernails and skin. By Easter, your cuticles and nails could probably use some attention. The easiest trick we know is nail slugging. It works a miracle overnight.
You’ll need a pair of cotton gloves, moisturizer, and petroleum jelly or similar thick cream. You can wear a pair of socks on your hands in a pinch.
Wash your hands, and while they are damp, apply a generous amount of hand cream. Massage it into the cuticles. Then, slather on a thick layer of petroleum jelly and don the gloves. Soon, you'll awaken with super soft hands and glossier nails.
Do nail slugging as often as you wish, and remember to apply cuticle oil daily, too. These two steps ensure that your nails are always ready for a new manicure!
