Each season has its characteristics that are associated with it. The same applies to the various holidays. Because each of them has certain colors in nature, which are then used in areas of life, such as fashion or cosmetics, to adapt to the season and put yourself in the right mood. On the other hand, seasons and holidays are also associated with certain motifs that you can use for your styling. Today we're talking about designing your nails, and we've not only put together a beautiful nail design picture gallery, but also great ideas for motifs that you can copy as you wish or use as inspiration, depending on the season and festival. Spice up your manicure and spread the right mood to those around you.
Spring nail design
Spring is characterized by many different thingsbright colors. The meadows are finally turning green again. Spring flowers bloom in red, yellow, orange, blue, purple, pink and many other colors. Both strong and delicate pastel tones are typical. The main thing is that they are bright and cheerful colors. Light blue as a symbol of the beautiful spring sky can also be used for spring nail design. Create a romantic look with light, subtle pastel tones or use bolder colors for a more upbeat look. You can tone down the latter a little by combining cute motifs or delicate flowers.
In addition to a wide variety of flowers and tree blossoms, insects, which now gradually appear, are also suitable motifs. Caterpillars, ladybugs and bees are just a few of them. Not to be forgotten are the many colorful and beautiful spring flowers that are typical of this time of year and can also be found in our nail design picture gallery. Choose crocuses, tulips, lilacs or elaborate peonies that you can either paint yourself or put on the nail in the form of stickers. Create small meadows on your nails or a colorful bouquet of flowers. Just come up with something in matching colors and motifs.
If you want it to be more elegant or glamorous for a party, then avoid certain motifs and simply use typical spring colors to create a simple oneDesign for springor to create a more neutral pattern. Geometric ones are very trendy and stylish, among other things, and can consist of triangles, circles, dots or rectangles, squares and stripes. But feel free to come up with something yourself.
Easter manicure
In spring there are pleasant festivals that provide an opportunity for a special nail design. In addition to Pentecost, this is also Easter. The colors here are the same as for spring in general. You only get more options when it comes to motifs. Your manicure will be particularly fun if you depict colorful Easter eggs or even the Easter bunny.
Feel free to try out other typical Easter animals. Chicks, for example, are not difficult to design and can be combined with eggshells, like in the example above in our nail design picture gallery. Chickens, sheep or even daffodils or flowering spring branches are also suitable, with which you can create a tiny Easter bouquet.
Fingernails in summer
Summer is at least as eagerly awaited and welcomed as spring. And here you can be particularly bold when it comes to colors. Bold colors are for theSummer nail designdesired and can range from green to blue and pink to yellow or orange. Neon colors are particularly popular and, above all, striking, as they spice up any summer outfit or even complement it in terms of color. But of course that doesn't mean that you can't create more subtle designs in pastel tones or in the trendy nude look.
Summer is of course also associated with holidays on the beach. So all sea motifs and colors are suitable. The nail design in turquoise, for example, symbolizes a tropical beach or turquoise water and can be combined with sand colors, beige or with coral and white. The salmon color and dark blue are also great if you want to make the nail design maritime. Blue and white creates a nautical flair, as we know it from sailors, which can also be combined with light beige for sand or rope.
The symbols are numerous. Palm trees, anchors, sea creatures such as fish, crabs or seagulls, forest animals such as foxes or deer, colorful balloons, bows, fruits, ice cream or other summer desserts or just a nail design with flowers or pretty blossoms. Everything is suitable and pretty, as the examples from our nail design picture gallery prove. Let your imagination run wild and use whatever you personally associate with summer.
If you find motifs too kitschy, simply choose one or two colors and use them to paint your fingernails. Here too, the geometric design is of course perfect and a great alternative to motifs that are often complicated and difficult to imitate. It's super easy to get inNail design with glitteror create a nail design with rhinestones, which is also suitable for the party. A nail design in black and gold also looks very elegant. You can see a chic example in the picture above from our nail design picture gallery. This is the so-called reverse French manicure, in which the crescent of the nail is highlighted instead of the nail tips.
Autumn also has a lot to offer in terms of colors and motifs and is anything but boring as a theme for nail design. From a color perspective, warm nuances and shades such as yellow, orange, red, brown, beige and burgundy, but also purple and lilac, i.e. everything that you encounter in autumnal nature, are suitable. Of course, the color green is also present here and there and is represented in evergreen plants. You can add a bit of pep with warm metal colors. This includes not only gold, but also copper and bronze.
Nail design images and motifs such as leaves, deciduous trees, acorns, chestnuts, pine cones, pumpkins, autumn fruits, berries and the like are perfect for depicting this cozy season on your fingers. Feel free to combine it with evergreen branches and why not some autumnal delicacies for a more playful look. For example, trees that have an autumn crown with the help of dots of different sizes or irregular blobs look very pretty.
Of course, more natural and subtle designs are also possible for nail design in autumn. Simple patterns or one- to two-color designs are suitable for this purpose. Glitter in gold or silver creates a glamorous look that can also be created with rhinestones. How about the idea from our nail design picture gallery above. The mix of blue tones and burgundy, highlighted with elegant stones, looks very elegant and can also be worn to work.
Above you can see one of the attractive nail design ideas from our nail design picture gallery with French manicure. What is particularly interesting is the way the nail design was implemented with French. The two main varnishes, copper and white, were alternated with glitter. The transition between the two is again designed with leaf motifs.
Halloween nails
The autumn nail design can also be used at this fun festival. However, other colors come into play here. The colors orange, yellow, poison green, purple and black, but also shades of blue and especially pastel tones are suitable for creating suitable motifs. Such motifs will probably come to mind straight away. Whether carved pumpkins, ghosts, bats or black cats, the variations are numerous. With green you can paint Frankenstein or a cauldron of poison. The typical Halloween candy, which has orange, yellow and white stripes, is also a great option that puts you in a good mood. It also gets spooky with skeletons or skulls on the nails.
Thanksgiving or Thanksgiving
Even though Thanksgiving isn't celebrated much these days, you can honor it by styling your nails appropriately, too. Use the typical fall colors and design with fruits that are harvested during this time. Can be combined with leaves or grapes. If you are looking for suitable motifs for the typical American Thanksgiving, you should also consider the turkey, as can be seen in the nail design gallery. You can also create a custom design using the fall colors already mentioned.
Winter nails ideas
Nail design for winter is usually less colorful. But that doesn't mean it has to be boring. The main colors are blue and white, which are often replaced with silver or combined with the color to create striking elements and effects. Blue stands for ice and can also be represented with turquoise or aqua, while white symbolizes snow. Purple can also be used as an alternative. Since snow is known to glitter in the sun, glitter nail polish in the respective colors is also a wonderful idea.
The motifs that immediately come to mind are of course snowflakes and certainly the snowman. But that's not all. Snowballs, twigs and pine cones, forest animals such as deer, which do not hibernate and can also be found in winter, as well as penguins or snowy landscapes and houses can be illustrated and thus create particularly interesting nails.
Nail design for Christmas
The nail design for Christmas is a little more colorful. Although typical winter colors and motifs can also be used here, red, green and gold are more recommended as Christmas colors. These are traditional colors that are also chosen for Christmas decorations. Since there are now many other decorative colors and the decorations themselves can be more modern and minimalist, you can of course adapt your nail design to them if you want. Silver and purple, pink or blue are no longer uncommon and can also be found on nails.
The motives may also be clear. Christmas tree baubles, stars, fir branches, mistletoe, candles or the Christmas tree itself, bows and fairy lights or simple patterns in matching colors spice up your styling and create the perfect atmosphere, even if they are designed in a tiny form. Not to be forgotten are Santa Claus, Rudolph or nail motifs in the form of gifts and a colorful string of lights.
Silvester
On New Year's Eve the design can be a little more colorful. Glamorous colors and color combinations are in demand here. The design can be simpler and consist of two colors, which can be light or dark as desired, or can be colorful. Black and white are particularly suitable as a background and glitter in any color, including silver and gold, is suitable for creating motifs. The glitter effects can also be wonderfully combined with matt varnishes as a background.
Choose fireworks or champagne glasses as images and motifs forNew Year's nailsor label the nails with the coming year. Ornate lines with glitter or geometric and minimalist figures work just as well, but they should definitely be striking in color. Fairy lights are also a variant and can be shown in both monochrome and colorful versions.
carnival
Finally, we would like to show you a good-mood design in our nail design picture gallery and give you some tips and ideas for carnival. A happy atmosphere can also be created with your fingernails at Carnival. Colors that are too dark should be avoided. In addition to matching colors, you also need glitter and why not colored rhinestones if you like. They can also be used to create beautiful carnival designs without any special images or motifs. A nail design in white is the perfect background. Alternatively, other light colors can also be used.
Confetti is a particularly suitable motif. You can design it with coarse glitter or simply draw it on the nails in the form of many colorful dots. Alternatively, you can design a pennant chain yourself. The nails also look playful with Berliners as a motif idea. If you would rather represent the Brazilian carnival, feathers or the Brazilian flag can be depicted. The Venetian Carnival is known for its pompous costumes and not to forget the masks, which are a wonderful design. Darker colors can and should also be used here. Black, dark purple and burgundy are simply part of it and are combined with gold or silver and glitter.
