Easter nail art – 10 ideas for a unique manicure

1. Easter egg pastel mix

Each nail painted in a different pastel Easter shade? Yes! Pastel tones with smooth finishes or dotted and striped patterns create a look inspired by painted eggs. Simple, yet stunning!

How to create it: Pick 5–10 pastel hybrid gel polishes. Apply different shades on each nail. Use a dotting tool or fine nail art brush to draw egg-inspired details. Cure under a lamp and seal with a top coat.

2. Minimal bunny accent

A surprisingly simple, delicate bunny ear design on a milky or beige base – feminine and full of charm. Perfect for fans of the “less is more” vibe!

Tip: Use a thin brush or ready-made Easter nail stickers. Looks great as a single-nail accent.

3. Easter floral nails

Spring flowers are a timeless trend! Daisies, tulips, lavender or crocuses – hand-painted or sticker-style – bring a soft and romantic touch to Easter nails.

Tip: Add flowers to 1–2 accent nails and leave the rest plain for a trendy “accent nail” effect.

4. Speckled egg effect

One of the most loved trends – tiny black dots on pastel polish to create the look of speckled Easter eggs. So easy to do and incredibly cute!

Pro tip: Use a nail art brush or fine dotting tool. Apply dots randomly for a more natural look.

5. Easter ombre

A soft blend of two pastel shades – peach and pink, mint and lavender – anything goes!

How to achieve it: Grab an ombre sponge, apply two colors side by side, and dab gently onto the nail. Cure each layer and finish with a smoothing top coat.

6. Pastel french twist

Swap the classic white tip for a pastel touch! Baby blue, mint, lemon yellow or lavender french is a fresh take on a timeless style.

Tip: Try a soft, colorful tip over a semi-transparent base – it looks natural and modern!

7. Baby chicks on nails

Is there anything cuter for Easter than tiny yellow chicks? This fun detail works perfectly on short and long nails alike.

Tip: Use yellow polish to create a circle or egg shape, then add eyes and a beak with a dotting tool and a fine brush. That’s it!

8. Floral french accent

Replace the usual tip color with dainty daisies or tiny flowers. It’s festive, romantic and full of charm!

How to get the look: Start with a classic french base, then add miniature florals like daisies, crocuses or tulips to the tips. Perfect for an Easter brunch!

9. Easter glam shine

Looking for a manicure that mixes festive elegance with some modern sparkle? Go for Easter glam nails – where glitter, gold accents, metallic foils or rhinestones take center stage!

Tip: Keep it balanced – less is more. Use glam elements on 1–2 nails and pair with a matte finish on the rest for a chic contrast.

10. Easter skittle nails

Think of colorful Easter eggs, sunshine and good vibes – then you’ve got skittle nails. Each nail in a different pastel tone, all within the same palette.

It’s the perfect choice if you can’t settle on one shade – and you don’t have to! It’s fresh, fun, and incredibly easy to create with no nail art required.

Pro tip: To make it cohesive, choose hybrid polishes from the same collection, like Pastel Memories by Silcare. That’s your foolproof route to a WOW effect!

Easter nails – how to create your manicure step by step?

1. Prep your nail plate and cuticles – long-lasting manicure starts with the basics

Start by giving your nails a thorough prep:

• shape the nails as desired (almond, square, oval – depending on your preference),
• use a buffing block to gently matt the nail surface,
• gently push back or remove cuticles – apply cuticle oil and use a wooden stick, then cleanse nails with a nail cleaner to degrease the surface.

A well-prepped nail plate ensures your gel polish stays put and looks flawless!

2. Apply a gel polish base – for durability and protection

The base coat is the foundation of every manicure. It helps strengthen the natural nail and creates an adhesive surface for color application. Apply a thin layer and cure it under a UV/LED lamp according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This key step can extend wear time up to 3 weeks!

3. Choose your base color – go for pastels and milky shades

We love the Easter vibe for its pastel softness and fresh tones. Choose:

• powder pink, baby blue, mint, lavender – for a cheerful and fresh look,
• milky nude and beige – for a minimalist aesthetic.

A pastel base will beautifully enhance any nail art and give your hands a bright, radiant look.

4. Add nail art – play with form and details!

Time to get creative! Depending on the design you choose, reach for:

• fine nail art brushes for hand-painted bunnies, flowers, or egg patterns,
• dotting tools – ideal for polka dots, eyes, and tiny elements,
• Easter nail stickers or stamping plates – quick and easy options for salon-worthy effects.

Tip: apply decorations only to 1–2 nails for a trendy look without overdoing it.

5. Seal with top coat – go glossy or matte

The final step is applying a gel top coat to secure your design and add the perfect finish:

• glossy top coat – ideal for glossy nails with a glass-like shine,
• matte top coat – perfect for lovers of soft, powdery finishes in soft glam style.

Cure the top coat under your lamp and... you're done! Your festive Easter manicure is ready for brunch, family gatherings, and compliments galore.
