What better way to find the best spring/summer inspo than following the US/UK summer trends (and saving them for later)? Whether you’ve already given Kate Hudson’s ‘blueberry milk nails’ a try or you’re loving the minimalist glossy nude nail trend, the endless warm weather-approved options mean there’s truly a trend for everyone; even the DIY nail doers (we salute you).
So now that spring has sprung, let’s mix up those manicures in favour of something extra fun, shall we? If you’re looking to book in for a mani refresh but need some spring inspo to get you out of the winter funk, these celeb spring nails will get you there…
Celeb Spring Nail Inspo

Ah, Angelina; the absolute epitome of understated glamour and grace. The stunning actress seems to be going through a life revamp at the moment with her new hair, increased humanitarian work and even launching her own atelier. Her super subtle vanilla-hued French mani is the perfect sophisticated accompaniment to all her latest endeavours. And it’s one minimalists will love to save for a chic mani.

Is she the queen of looong intricate nails? Definitely. Thanks to @nails_of_la, Megan has given us some incredible playful inspo. Megan’s Insta feed is post after post of screenshot worthy nails, and her latest aura nails are totally trending, and we can’t wait to see this trend take over Australia this spring!
Kim Kardashian

Was this the spring/summer of short nails? (*gasp*) Our long keyboard tapping nails could never, but it seems that a few celebs that usually opt for mega-long acrylics toned it down over the warmer months, Kim K being one. Maybe it’s because she’s on mum duty, or maybe she just wants to save those nail looks for photoshoots and special occasions? We may never know, but we’re here for the shorter neutral baby pink nails she’s been rocking lately.

How could we go past trend-setting Kate, trailblazer of the ‘blueberry milk trend’? Odds are you even gave the summer shade a go throughout winter (how could you not?), but now that the weather is warming up, we’re expecting to see the light-lilac-y shade everywhere again.

Jetting off on a summer holiday to Jamaica, Kerry took the opportunity to have her nails painted with a standout golden shimmer, and if that doesn’t epitomise exactly what you want from your summer holiday we don’t know what does.
JLo
In a recent “This is… August (so far)” photo dump, Jen gave us a little glimpse into her summer holidays, with a sneaky bath selfie to finish the carousel that debuted a ‘your nails but better’ milky-meets-nude pink mani.
Gal Gadot

So, we’re not entirely sure why Gal went to nail extraordinaire Elle Gerstein to get Color Street (nail polish strips) applied as a simplistic short and tidy mani. But you do you girl, all we can say is the bright red outcome is a totally classic timeless look.
Selena Gomez

Selena’s BRIGHT neon pink nails give us major #barbiecore meets warm weather nail inspo and we’re taking this right to the salon STAT.
Eva Longoria

Eva has been loving a bright and shining chrome mani this summer. The well documented love-affair with chrome is splashed all across her Insta grid. Our fave look is her rose -gold- inspired mani that we may have clocked while watching her marg how-to vid (is it marg season yet?).

What’s your favourite nail trend? Will you paint your nails a spring colour soon?
Lots of different nails here. Some quite ordinary, others beautiful
Yeah, I was underwhelmed by quite a few of them too
If my nails were shaped like Megan Fox’s talons, I’m pretty sure I would need to frequent the Eye & Ear ER
Out of this lot, my fav is the blueberry milk ones, such a pretty colour.
Not me. Too busy Spring cleaning.
Longoria’s chrome and rose-gold nails sound gorgeous, but I’d have liked nail close-ups of these.
I like blueberry milk one
I like cream coloured nails, so simple and elegant
