10 Must-Try Spring Nail Trends for 2026

Spring is all about fresh starts, soft colours, and playful designs. As clients trade in deep winter shades for lighter, brighter looks, these 10 spring nail trends are taking over salons and social feeds. Whether you love minimal or statement nails, there’s something here for every style this season.

1. Pastel French Tips
A soft twist on a classic. Think baby blue, lavender, and butter yellow tips instead of traditional white for a subtle spring refresh.
