Welcome to our ultimate guide to easy Easter gel nail designs that will have you hopping into spring with style. Whether you’re a nail art newbie or a seasoned pro, we’ve got you covered with a collection of designs that are both easy to create and perfect for the Easter season.
Pastel Posies
Start with a fresh base coat in your favorite pastel hue, such as baby pink, soft blue, or lavender. To create the floral design, use a dotting tool and a contrasting color to create tiny dots around the cuticle area. Then, using a small brush, stroke outwards from the dots to create delicate petals. Repeat this process to create multiple flowers on each nail.
Easter Egg Speckle
Channel the spirit of Easter eggs with this playful speckled design. Start with a base coat in white or any light color. Use a fine brush to dip into various pastel colors and create small dots all over the nail. You can create varying sizes and densities of dots for a more abstract look. Finish off with a top coat for a glossy shine.
Hoppy Bunny Tails
For a cute and whimsical twist, try this bunny tail design. Paint your nails in a light pink or white base coat. Using a thin brush, draw a small circle near the cuticle area and extend two small, curved lines from the circle to resemble bunny ears. Add a tiny dot on top of each ear for the finishing touch.
