13 Celebrity Spring Manicures That'll Inspire You All Season Long

In the 21st century, the only real beauty “rule” is that there are no beauty rules; wear what you like, how you like it, and when you like it. But honestly… seasonal favorites exist for a reason. Much like how the cold weather incites an almost primal urge to cozy up to dark hair colors and moody lipsticks, the lighter and brighter days of spring inspire many of us to opt for warm flushes of blush, soft, feathery hairstyles, and pretty new manicures— celebrities included.

If you stay on Celebrity Manicure Watch, you’ll know that even though the season has just begun, celebs have already dropped some great spring nail inspo. Most of it was technically during the winter, yes, but sets like Selena Gomez’s “petal pink nude” nails and Hailey Bieber’s “soft chrome” mani prove that famous folks were as eager as the rest of us to start the season early. Cardi B’s many hair-matching tour manis included a dreamy, iridescent set with major mermaid vibes — the same direction Kylie Jenner went in for her tropical vacation pedicure. And that’s just this year: Previous seasons have provided just as much inspo that still resonates in 2026.

Scroll on for 13 spring manicure ideas, as seen on celebrities.

Selena Gomez’s Juicy Tubes Mani

Striking the perfect balance between classic and playful, this glossy pink mani has serious Lancôme Juicy Tubes vibes. Her longtime manicurist, Tom Bachik, created it using shade BS-104 from his Neudes Collection.

Zendaya’s Bridal Moment

Spring is a major season for weddings; this spring, Zendaya is starring in the wedding-themed film The Drama; and the actress is rumored to have secretly tied the knot herself. Considering all the above, it’s no surprise that Z served up spring wedding mani inspo at the movie’s Los Angeles premiere. The short, square, blush-pink nails are a great pick for a timeless look.

Maren Morris’ Bright Skittle Mani

Not much of a pastel person? This oval manicure with neon “Skittle” French tips would be a perfect choice for anyone seeking a slightly unexpected — but still vibrant and colorful — Easter manicure. Bachik created it for Morris.

Kylie Jenner’s Rhinestone Flowers

Are flowers for spring “groundbreaking”? Maybe not. But they’re a popular motif for a reason: They symbolize new beginnings and, perhaps most importantly, are very cute. Celebrity nail artist Zola Ganzorigt created this set for longtime client Jenner.

Kerry Washington’s Velvet Polka Dots

Velvet nails, traditionally associated with the wintertime, are going to be big this spring. Especially in soft colors and trendy designs, like this polka dot look on Washington (courtesy of artist Sreynin Peng).

Rachel McAdams’ Radiant Rosé Mani

Another spring-coded velvet, celebrity nail artist Julie Kandalec used The Gel Bottle’s Lush — a rosy magnetic shade — to create the “Rosé Radiance” mani McAdams wore to the 98th Academy Awards.

Joey King’s Periwinkle & Nude Nails

To match King’s Miu Miu dress at the 2025 SAG Awards, manicurist Thuy Nguyen mixed and matched periwinkle and nude polishes before painting on some metallic linear designs.

Khloé Kardashian’s Pink-On-Pink French Tips

How to switch up the classic French mani for spring? Do as nail artist Ganzorigt did for Kardashian and try out a two-tone pink instead of the traditional pink-white combo. It’s subtle but perfect for the season.

Kylie Jenner’s Soap Nails

The soap nails trend is perfect for spring, and it totally nails (pun intended) the brief for a light and fresh feeling. Celebs like Jenner and Bieber have already given the look their stamp of approval.

Rihanna’s Butter Yellow Nails

This season, expect to see the butter yellow trend back in a major way. A perfect way to wear it? On your nails, like Rihanna did during her matchy-matchy moment in London.

Jennifer Lopez’s “Butterfly Kisses” Mani

Spring’s flora isn’t the only natural nail inspo to look to this season; consider the fauna as well. Case in point, this “butterfly kisses” mani Bachik created for Lopez. With its delicate design and dynamic sparkle, it’s an ideal choice for anyone who’s not afraid to make a statement.

Margot Robbie’s Pink Jelly Nails

If you love the look of jelly nails, let Robbie at the 2024 SAG Awards be your spring muse. Her Barbie-inspired mani was created by Betina Goldstein using Chanel’s Skieuse, Diva, and Sun Drop shades sheered out with Le Gel Top Coat.

Blake Lively’s Micro Floral Mani

Lively’s floral-themed press tour for It Ends with Us (in which she plays a flower shop owner) included this dainty mani created by Elle Gerstein using all Essie products. Months later, it feels like the dreamiest design to copy for spring.

Selena Gomez’s Electric Blue Nails

Gomez’s Y2K-inspired look in the “Call Me When You Break Up” music video included electric blue nails that are an unexpected choice for the season, though nevertheless fitting with their bold brightness.

Hailey Bieber’s Micro French Mani

If you envision a delicate style of nails for spring, Bieber’s micro French tips are the trend to try. Ganzorigt used OPI’s “Passion” and “Funny Bunny” to get the dainty look that’s ripe for the season.
