15Hawaiian Style Flower Nails
Even if you can’t enjoy a Hawaiian vacation, you can bring the tropics to your manicure. Bright colors are warm weather staples. Painting just one Hawaiian flower onto the nail keeps it chic.
16Drawn with Flowers Pointy Nails
We often think of flower nail art as being realistic but illustrated flowers are just as fashionable. Recreate this by using a pen or paint to illustrate the shape of roses and just fill in with paint.
17Sunny Sunflower Nails
Sunflowers are the epitome of summer, so why not add them to your nails. Create an ombre look with nude and yellow for a modern appeal. If you don’t have the materials to create a 3D sunflower like they did here, just paint it onto the nails.
18Vintage Inspired Floral Nail Design
This flower nail art has such a cute vintage aesthetic. Because the flowers aren’t perfect it makes them so much more artistic. Using muted tones like mustard yellow adds to the vintage feel.
19Earthly Garden Nails
Flower nails don’t have to be pastels and bright hues. Create a whole different look with army green nails and white flowers. It’s unexpected in the best way possible. We love the matte finish for added style.
20Springtime Beige Nails
For the classic woman who likes a neutral nail this is a great way to add some flowers to your nails, without being too over the top. Having flowers added to just two nails keeps it simple with just enough color for a gorgeous look.
Who knew flowers could be so unique?! We’re absolutely adoring the modern take on flower nails some creatives have added to their nails. If you’re a do it yourself kind of woman you can still paint flower nails like some of these onto your own nails. But you’re going to need a few tools on hand to accomplish the result you’re looking to achieve. We suggest having some toothpicks, very small paint brushes and even considering stencils and/or sticker decals on hand. Thanks to the internet and beauty supply stores there are a ton of resources out there these days that gives you the opportunity to DIY detailed designs without being a professional.
This year it’s all about the blank space on nails. Sounds crazy right? NOT painting part of your nails? It’s an incredibly modern twist to any nail design to actually leave space onto your nails without polish. Sometimes it’s about what isn’t there that makes for a gorgeous design. One of our favorite blank space flower nails is the black and white flower designs. It incorporates the classic black and white color scheme and with the combination of the blank space it’s such a fresh, trendy look.
Of course just because blank space nails are a big trend, it certainly doesn’t mean that fully painted nails aren’t just as on trend! So many of these designs are stunning and give you plenty of inspiration to incorporate flowers into any color scheme you’re drawn to. If you like black nails but want a softer twist added to the dark hue for the spring, add colorful flowers to your standard black polish. You’re getting the best of both worlds with that style combination. Playing around with different nail shapes is another easy way to transform the look of your flower nails.
