Cute + Polished Easter Nail Ideas You’ll Love
Easter is one of my favorite holidays, and it’s a holiday that many of us want to dress up for! For me, that includes getting my nails done and sporting a simple but sweet Easter nail design.
If you’ve been searching for Easter nails that feel festive but aren’t over the top, you’re in the right place! I’ve done some digging and put together a list of chic and classy nail ideas that are perfect for Easter in 2026. So, whether you’re on the hunt for elegant floral-inspired art, minimalist Easter nails, or a playful holiday mani, the nail designs below will elevate your look this April!
Dainty Easter Art
Above, Marnie has put together a design that’s so cute and playful yet subtle enough for a classy Easter event. Whether you ask your nail artist for dainty art featuring classic Easter motifs or you DIY this at home with nail stickers, it’s perfect for an obvious spring aesthetic that’s still sophisticated.
Pink Polka Dot
A soft pink will always be an excellent nail color for spring, and polka dots give this manicure an elevated but eye-catching finish. I love this on short nails for a clean and polished vibe. You can also create a similar, but subtler, design on long nails by opting for pink polka-dot Frenchies instead of an all-over look.
Pastel Gradient
If you want something that’s chic and sophisticated but still colorful and fun, I highly recommend using very soft pastel tones. These colors are ideal for creating a playful design while still maintaining a classy, understated aesthetic.
Here, Eman used gorgeous spring pastels for a gradient design, blending each pastel into a nude pink base for an effortless but enchanting finish.
Butter Yellow w/ Florals & Pearls
To me, butter yellow has an undeniable old money vibe, and this hue is my go-to for a pop of spring color that’s fresh yet elevated. Paired with dainty floral art, bow accents, and pearl embellishments, this manicure harmonizes a refined palette with spring-inspired elements.
Golden Blooms
Gold detailing instantly creates a luxe look, and I love the textured petals on this design by @amberjhnails. This one is a little bolder than some of the others on my list, but it’s still elegant and perfect for Easter!
Pale Purple + Bows
Vogue noted that a lilac cat-eye design is perfect “for those looking for a little shimmer” in spring 2026. This “sweet and springy shade“ is so beautiful and sophisticated, and the bow detail adds a playful touch while keeping the overall look clean and polished.
Ivory Chrome & Floral Tips
I love the look above for a classy Easter event this April. The simple, monochromatic ivory palette is so elegant, while the variation between the chrome base, classic solid tips, and delicate floral art creates a visually stunning and artistic finish.
Painted Petals w/ Solid Purple
A dark but still vibrant purple looks sophisticated and seasonally appropriate, and I adore the hand-painted florals for a classy touch. I love how Meloo added a textured, artistic finish to the florals here by combining different colors to really highlight the hand-painted aspect.
This one is ideal for anyone who wants something alluring but elevated for Easter. You can also add a luxe finish by dotting the center of each flower with gold.
Spring Garden w/ Shimmer
If you’re looking for something colorful but not over-the-top, consider a shimmering design featuring gorgeous rainbow blooms. This will instantly add a springtime vibe to your outfits, and it’s something that’s sure to earn plenty of compliments on Easter day.
3D Monochrome Nails
You can balance a bolder 3D design out by topping it all off with one single nail polish color. I love the monochromatic look here, while the sculpted Easter designs offer a subtle festive flair.
Subtle Spring Design
This manicure by Karin is another fantastic pick for minimalist, understated Easter nails. The soft pink base has serious clean-girl vibes, while the teeny-tiny ivory flowers give the nail design a subtle spring vibe.
Almond French + Florals
Upgrade almond French tips with a pastel floral design. I love the way the flowers and leaves sit along the base of the French tip, blending into the design for a simple, colorful pop and playful finish.
Stacey opted for a chic pink, but you can really play around with the colors here. Yellow flowers would also be soft and subtle, while lavender or pale blue would stand out a little more.
Pearl Mani
For Easter nails that work during the holiday and beyond, I recommend a simple but elegant nail design like this one. Swirly, pearly, shimmering polish is so beautiful and will add effortless charm to your Easter look, but it’s also simple enough to wear to work, other formal events, and even casual hangouts.
Blooming Easter Aura
If you’re looking for something slightly trendy but still refined, opt for a softly blended aura manicure and delicate floral art. The nude pink and creamy white aura design is chic, but the neutral tones work for an elegant Easter design. Topped with tiny pastel flowers, this manicure is perfect for Easter in 2026!
Subtle Floral Pops
A simple yet gorgeous Easter design like the one above is perfect for something playful and slightly retro. I love the Y2K-style flowers, and choosing to add only outlines of the petals gives them each a more understated look. The minimalistic design and pops of soft pastels add a fun, festive vibe to classic French tips.
Pearls & Pastel Glitter
Go for an effortlessly elegant Easter manicure with glittering pastel polish and pearl embellishments. The soft pink-purple nail color pairs well with the sheer pink accent nails, creating something simple but alluring. And, of course, Paulina added a final, elevated touch with those clusters of pearls.
No matter what aesthetic you’re going for this Easter, the nail ideas above can help complete your holiday look perfectly. From simple, charming designs to obvious Easter nails, you can’t go wrong with any of these looks!
