flower nail art designs in shades of blue

Flower nail art designs may not be the newest, most groundbreaking concept for spring, but this season they feel extra fresh and exciting. Floral manis are trending hard this year, especially the ’70s-inspired graphic variety. Combined with the still-hot mismatched and negative-space nail trends, as well as a palette of Bridgerton-inspired blue hues (Regencycore, anyone?), the look feels perfectly pretty, in a very right-now sort of way.

The mix of dark and light blue shades means you can take this flowery look for a spin virtually any time of year–and who doesn’t love a good transitional trend? Scroll on to see how to nail the design!
