They’re cute for the holiday — and beyond.
Days are suddenly longer, flowers have begun to bloom, and lighter layers have completely replaced cozy knits and thick puffer coats — which means that sweet spring is *finally* upon us. And for the beauty lovers of the world, that calls for some brighter, more colorful manicures.
Whether or not you celebrate the religious holiday with your loved ones, Easter represents springtime, fertility, joy, rebirth, and the start of fresh new beginnings. If you’re a nail art aficionado, it’s also the perfect time to pull out the colorful pastel polishes and experiment with some sweet Easter motifs.
To help, Bustle has curated a selection of Easter-appropriate nail art that’ll have your fingertips on point. While each design is definitely fit for your holiday festivities, they’ll still be a vibe in between your salon visits or next at-home paint sesh (though there’s one absolutely necessary bunny design for good measure).
From the very on-trend vanilla French mani to a J.Lo-approved floral design and a springy update on the ever-popular glazed donut nails, here are 19 seriously cute nail art ideas for Easter 2023 and beyond.
