Spring's "Sweetpea Nails" Are the Elevated Version of a Milky Manicure

Another day, another nail trend that I'm falling head over heels for. Yep, spring is in full swing, and all of the best nail artists are sharing their new season manicures on social media. We've been reporting on all of the biggest looks, from April nail trends to Easter nails, and although there are plenty of cute pastel designs to choose from, I'm here to introduce you to my new favourite nail trend. Say hello to sweetpea nails.

You might be asking yourself, what is the sweetpea nail trend? Well, I'm here to fill you in. After analysing this month's biggest manicure looks, I've noticed more and more people opting for pink nail designs. However, it's these sheer pink, water-like polishes that seem to be proving the most popular, and they remind me an awful lot of soft pink petals.

From subtle ombré designs to sweetpea-pink tips and high-shine finishes, there are so many ways to wear this trend this season. If you're not a fan of bright colours, this delicate design is bound to be more up your street. If you're still not convinced, keep on scrolling for some of my favourite sweetpea nail looks, and don't forget to check out my product recommendations to help recreate the trend at home.
