From short shapes to tulip red, our beauty team's April nails perfectly capture spring's cheery mood

A collage of the beauty team's April nails: On the left is Digital Beauty Writer, Naomi Jamieson's brown and blue polka dot nails, followed By Digital Beauty Editor, Fiona McKim's glossy sheer nails, Digital Beauty eCommerce & Shopping Editor, Aleesha Badkar's short red nails and finally, on the right, Digital Beauty Writer, Sennen Prickett's square candy-pink nails can be seen. All featured in a cream template with blue and pink nail polish spill stock images.

A new month is the perfect excuse for a fresh manicure, but in case you're stuck for what shade or design to pick, our beauty team already have our April nails sussed.

Whether you're keen to follow the 2026 nail trends and keep things natural or love a flash of classic red, April doesn't have to be all about spring nail colour and pastel French tips. Indeed, nothing is stopping you from embracing something a little different, like a polka dot here or a square nail shape there. In fact, our beauty team have actually opted for all of the above with our own April manicures.
