Easter fire, Easter brunch or a visit to church - on the Easter holidays from Good Friday to Easter Monday there are various events that require an attractive nail design. The approaching spring with its mild weather and the first clear sunny days is ideal for implementing Easter nail art and nail designs. Our nail designer Stefanie will tell you which colors you shouldn't miss at Easter and which nail art goes particularly well. For them it is clear: Easter can be colorful and you have plenty of scope for spring-like nail art!

Expert tips: Which nail design colors for Easter?

At Easter time, bright, friendly colors are often chosen for nail design, fashion and decoration, explains our nail designer Stefanie. What is now desired is a spring-like charm that can be achieved excellently with pastel colors. It's time to finally leave the motifs of the New Year and Christmas days aside until next winter to try out new, refreshing trends on your nails. The Easter colors for nail design are often worn as a full cover or as a tip for the classic French manicure, says our expert. She recommends the following colors:

White: Perfect base for nail art

At Easter, shades of white can be an excellent choice for your spring nail design. They are often the perfect basis for nail art and can look particularly classic and elegant in subtle versions such as French or baby boomer . White at Easter time represents joy and purity and gives nail design an illuminating lightness.

Pink: Romantic & cheerful

Pink , especially powder pink, is a particularly appealing spring color that stands for joy, romance and love like no other shade in nail design. Pink is an excellent choice for nails at Easter time . The color impresses with its versatility and offers an appealing variety, from soft, subtle rose tones to trendy shades and dark pink variants.

Purple: Feminine & exclusive

During spring, especially over Easter, soft purple tones in a pastel style are absolute favorites. With their exclusive beauty, they are reminiscent of the first flowers of the year, like those of the crocuses, which shine in this wonderful color with different nuances and drive away the dark season. The color purple gives the nail design a pleasant lightness, appears feminine and radiates calm. In the church, the liturgical color purple is also interpreted as a symbol of inner contemplation and spirituality.

Green: Refreshing & spring-like

While dark green was combined with white and red at Christmas time, spring is the time of bright green. Green is now used either as a pastel version or as an intense color full of refreshing power. It is the color of hope and love, it represents nature and fits perfectly into spring.

Red: classic in spring clothing

Red on the nails is a classic that also looks great at Easter. The color offers many nuances - in spring and at Easter time, lighter shades alternate with the dark tones of winter. Our expert likes to wear red on her nails at Easter and this year she chose the Classic Fuchsia Red color gel .

🐇 Stickers & Tattoos: Which motifs are suitable for Easter?

Matching nail stickers or nail tattoos complement your nail design at Easter time. You can choose classic Easter motifs, such as Easter bunnies, Easter eggs , lambs , chicks or carrots - everyone knows them and they are equally fun for adults and children to look at. Lettering like “Happy Easter” can be a great addition, especially for these motifs. Flowers , such as Japanese cherry blossoms and birds , look particularly stylish and suitable for the office when combined, says our expert. Butterflies , feathers, hummingbirds, dragonflies and fairies also enliven the Easter nail design with their delicate beauty.

3 nail art ideas for your Easter nail design:

Our three nail art ideas for your perfect Easter nail design are easy to implement and have a WOW effect - easy to do at home or in the studio. These ideas look great on your nails all spring long and can be implemented using uncomplicated techniques in trendy spring colors.

Ombre look:

To gently bring color into play, the Easter nail design can set special accents with an attractive ombré look. Subtle, modern and beautiful, this look suits many occasions. Our expert recommends a nude tone or colorless nail polish as a base - this nail design can be implemented comparatively easily and simply with gel , acrylic and nail polish . The tip is given the desired color, which is simply “faded” with an ombré sponge tool , i.e. dabbed on, so that the nail tip has an intense color that slowly becomes softer and fades towards the middle of the nail. Classic spring and Easter colors are particularly suitable for this look . This look becomes particularly cool with pastel metallic effect gels in pink , rose , red , mint , blue and lilac . Are you a professional and have the appropriate equipment? Then you can of course create this look super easily using the airbrush technique !

Geometric shapes

Geometric shapes such as waves, stripes, zigzags, arches or lines are easy to implement and give every nail design a trendy touch. For example, if there are several waves on one nail, they can be implemented in different shades of a color from light to dark to give the nail design liveliness. At Easter we love great color plays in purple , green and pink combined with white , light gray and nude tones for the perfect geometric look .

Polka dots

Fingernails with polka dots look spring-like and sweet. To do this, you choose a base color that is applied to the entire nail as a base. Then choose a suitable contrasting color for the dots. If you choose light pastel colors , the nail design will look very spring-like - gray , white and nude tones can be your basis for colorful dots. If you use strong contrasts, such as black dots on a light background, the look will be more striking. Our favorite color combinations for this nail design:

• Pale Blue & Pink Bubble for a great vintage look
• Rose Quartz & Classic Mauve for romantic flair
• Classic White Blue & Baby Pink as a great gentle contrast
• Pastel Trixibelle & Pastel Sky Blue for a super fresh look
• Pastel Pistachio &Classic White Purple for a soft trendy nail design
• Pastel Pink & Pastel Tropical Dream with sunny beauty

Tip from our expert: The more eye-catching your nail art is for Easter, the longer you should choose your nails so that the motifs have enough space!

Nail design: glitter and glimmer for Easter?

Christmas and New Year's Eve are the times for glitter and glimmer . In nail design, however, spring is a time when large glitter flakes are used less. Wonderful mother-of-pearl shimmers are now in demand, giving every look a gentle elegance. Light shimmers, for example in the finest gold, can inspire Easter nail design and ensure festivity. Metallic effect gels in pastel colors that have an attractive metallic shine are also popular beauties on the nails at Easter.
