And finally, on the right is another close-up of a hand with yellow almond nails, also by nail artist Mateja. All featured in a white template with red and pink nail polish spills.

Nothing says spring quite like a bouquet of freshly-cut tulips. So, when deciding on your new-season manicure, it only seems right to take a little inspiration from the bright and distinctive flowers.

When it comes to your spring nails, there are several avenues you can go down. Pastels, for instance, are always a lovely and timeless choice, as are soft, milky neutrals or sheer nail polishes, both of which are also popular 2026 nail trends. If you're keen to add a pop of cheerful colour to your look, though, one that mirrors the blooms beginning to emerge along the hedgerows and in your flowerbeds, there's another palette to consider.
