After indulging in holiday-themed nail art inspiration for months, like New Year’s, Valentine’s Day, and St. Patrick’s Day designs, April offers a chance for more creative expression. If Easter or Ramadan is on your calendar, you might choose colors to match. Otherwise, embracing spring’s fresh vibes with softer, pastel shades is a popular choice. Whether you prefer full-color nails, classic French tips, or trendy negative space designs, April allows for plenty of experimentation. You might also want to incorporate elements from recent nail trends, such as retro swirls or playful emoji accents. And of course, floral motifs are always a hit in April. The bottom line: April offers endless opportunities for nail art. Below, discover over two dozen inspiring ideas to get you started.”nail ideas for April”
