Egg nails for Easter are playful and nostalgic. They remind us of dyeing eggs for baskets and going on an Easter egg hunt. The springtime colors also make us smile. Let’s take a look at happy egg nail designs that celebrate a well-earned moment of fun after winter.
Egg Nails for Easter
The Original Easter Egg Nails
Shape them into ovals or almonds, paint them in beautiful pastels, and add a few simple lines and squiggles. Then the set is instantly recognizable as egg nails for Easter. You can stencil the designs or use striping tape for flawless results. The hardest part is really narrowing down what colors to use in what order. Just like a new outfit for Easter, we like to have new colors for our nails.
If you’d like to update your spring shade collection, LAVIS and LDS just released HEMA and TPO-free gels for the season. There’s everything from beautiful nudes and soft pastels to vibrant shades that demand a second glance. In other words, shades that flatter everyone and allow for very expressive looks.

Speckled Egg Tips
You know those chocolate candies in the crunchy shells? The ones you can’t stop eating until the bag is empty? This set reminds us of them, so it’s probably not an appropriate egg nail design for nail biters! However, it’s fun and easy to re-create.
In case the wearer has fragile nails or wants to protect them all growing out, we recommend starting with LDS Rubber Base Gel. It’s available in thirty pink and neutral shades that build a strong, flexible foundation for the rest of the manicure. You’ll find that it ensures more than three weeks of chip-resistant wear.
Start with the sheer pink similar to the one here. Then browse for colors in the new LDS Spring Meadow Collection to create the tips that look like candy melting. Use a precision brush or dotting pen to add the black speckles, then finish with a matte top coat for that authentic velvety texture.

Chocolate Egg Nails for Easter
Who knew that searching for “egg nails for Easter” would include pictures of fried eggs? But we find these cream-filled chocolate eggs to be much more tempting! Can you imagine wearing a manicure like this? If you decide to create it, we have the tools you need. From emboss gel to bold yellow, perky purple, and warm brown shades, it’s all available at prices that will make you smile. So go ahead and follow those nail dreams and create something amazing!
Marbled Egg Nails
You know how it looks when you swirl the dye in the water to color the eggs? You don’t even need to get your nails wet for a similar style. All you need is LAVIS Blooming Gel.
This is how it works. Apply and cure the gel base coat. Brush on a base color if desired and cure that. Then start with a single finger, adding a layer of clear blooming gel and leaving it wet. Use a dotting pen or brush to add dots or swirls of vibrant gel polish and watch as the pigment starts to spread on its own. Yes, you can do multiple colors at the same time, and you can guide the evolution of the bloom with your brush. When you’re satisfied with the pattern, cure that finger to set the design and move on to the next. At the end, seal your work with a top coat.

DIY Charms for Easter Nails
What if you could make your own Easter egg nail charms? We have what you need in our store. Choose the silicone mold with the figures you want, like bunnies or bows. Pick up a bottle of A’DOR 3D Rubber Mold Gel and a Pat Pat Palette with the colors you want to use. You can also use regular gel polish. We recommend Pat Pat Gel because it’s richly pigmented with a thick consistency, so it’s excellent for painting intricate details.
The next step is to paint the inside of the mold – give the bunny cute pink ears and an orange carrot, for example. Cure the gel polish. Then add a few drops of the transparent rubber gel to fill the mold and cure that for one to two minutes. Bend the mold to release the newly made charm and glue it to the nail. Now your Easter eggs have a bunny for company!

Cat Eye Easter Bunnies and Hearts
Can you imagine cat eye egg nails for Easter? Wouldn’t the shimmer be so lovely? You could add chrome accents or draw a bunny with the glitter in the cat eye gel. How? You’ll need a magnet and the right shape of metal tool to attach to it. For example, this one creates hearts with one side and big eared rabbits with the other. Depending on how you use it, you can also draw frogs and teddy bears.
