DIY Spring Flower Nails
I absolutely love painting my nails at home, but switching up the look of my nails is a definite must. Cute nails can really let your personality shine through and what better way to show your excitement for the Spring weather to come, than to paint your nails bright and pretty with some cute flowers? This easy DIY will show you how to create this adorable nail look at home using only a few simple tools.
Let’s Get Started!
Step 1: Paint Nails with Base Coat. I’m using Sally Hansen Hard As Nails in 620 Limestone.
Step 2: Using a toothpick or wooden cuticle pusher, carefully draw on 6 large dots with pink acrylic paint to form your flower petals. I’m using the shade bright magenta.
Step 3: Using white acrylic paint, draw a large dot to form the center of your flower. Using the tip of a bobby pin or toothpick draw on pink polka dots on the other nails not painted with flowers.
Apply a clear coat over your nails for protection, and you have bright, beautiful nails ready for spring! 😉
What can I say, I love polka dots!
I seriously love how the lime green, magenta, and white colors look together and I think it really makes my nails pop! Hope you enjoyed today’s tutorial and I hope that you will give this DIY a try!
Are you ready for Spring? 🙂 -Cara

Oh these make me smile! They are so spring and so cute! I hope your weekend is as glorious as you are!
Thank-you Andrea! Have a wonderful weekend 🙂
What a fun spring idea. Once a month I help with an 8 to 11 year old girls from our church. We do all kinds of fun projects. Adding this to the list the girls will love this.
Oh how fun! I’m sure they’d love something like this 🙂
How fun! I love doing cool things like this with my nails. Perfect for Easter!

Thank-you! 🙂
Very cute and I love that green!
Thanks and I do too!
That is ADORABLE!!!!
I would never think to make those dots turn into a flower. Genius!
Thank-you! 🙂
So cute! I made a huge mistake with nailpolish that color last year and forgot a base coat. Ooooh my nails were so stained after that. It took a while for it to come off.
Thank-you! Oh no! I think we’ve all made those type of mistakes once or twice, so don’t feel bad! 🙂
I could never do that but it’s super cute!
It’s very easy, I promise 🙂
Super pretty and perfect for this time of year, even just the polka dots, which is more realistic for my skill level LOL. Love the watermelon colors! Hope you have a fantastic weekend! XO -Kim
Thank-you Kim! Haha, all it takes is a little practice I promise 😉 Have a great weekend!
So cute!! I love bright colors for the spring though painting my nails myself is a challenge. I will have to try this out!
Thank-you! I used to be horrible at painting them when I first started out, it just takes practice. 🙂
omg love these nails for spring! how cute!
Thank-you! 🙂
So cute! I’ll definitely try this at some point during spring. 🙂
Thank-you! I love the bright colors!
Really cute. Perfect for spring.
Thank-you! I thought so too!
This made me just eek for Spring! Such a fun design and the colors are spot on! I always have a hard time painting my nails and keeping them looking pretty, but I was thinking of trying on my toe nails!
Thank-you! Yes, you should definitely try them! 🙂
Your nails are ADORABLE! I’m terrible about painting my nails regularly but it’s so fun to do from time to time and these would be super cute!
Thank-you! I like switching them up every once in awhile and doing something different. 🙂
How fun! You make it look so easy! And give me all the polka dots, all day everyday! Happy Weekend!
Thank-you! Yes I have a slight obsession with polka dots-haha
This look is so cute!!! Love the colors you used!!! I need to get better about painting my nails. Hope you have a great weekend!
Thank-you! I thought they went together really nicely. Have a great weekend!
Love it! Love the bright lime green color, so perfect for spring.
Thank-you! It’s such a pretty color!
What a great way to bring in Spring! Your nails look great and you make it look so easy!
Thank-you! It is easy, I promise 🙂

Thanks Kate! 🙂
Very cute! I didn’t read all the comments, but I’ve also seen dots done using the plastic coated end of a bobby pin … it sounds perfect but I can’t attest to how well it works! Either way, gorgeous at home pretties!
Thank-you! Yes I regularly use the tip of a bobby pin, and it works great! I actually have another tutorial for that on here as well. 🙂
This is so cute! I am definitely not talented enough to do this to my own nails, but yours turned out gorgeous!
Thank-you! It really isn’t much different than drawing on paper, although doing the right hand does take a little longer. 🙂
Your nails look adorable!! I like the bright green base color!
Thank-you! It really makes them pop, doesn’t it!?
I love the mix of flowers and polka dots in this look! It’s nice to see it mixed up with both instead having all your nails just one or the other! Great post, Cara, and thanks for sharing!
Thank-you Kiara! I agree, it’s a nice balance to have both styles. 🙂
My daughter is always trying out new nail polish designs. She is also nuts about polka dots. So I know she is going to love this tutorial! Pinning to share. 🙂
Thank-you Wendy! Hope she enjoys it 🙂
Love those polka-dots!! Makes me want to sit down and give that a try 🙂
Thank-you! You should- it’s so easy, girl! 🙂
Oh my goodness, how cute! You’re so creative!
Thank-you! 🙂
So pretty for spring! I love flowers on my pedicure, now I know how to do my own:) Thanks so much for sharing 🙂
Thank-you! This would look great as a pedicure too! 🙂
These are so very cute! I wish I was coordinated enough to do that. When it comes to my nails I just cannot paint them…Love your nails they look so perfect for spring!
Thank-you! It definitely has taken me years of practice 🙂
This is just so cute! I love nail art but am so overwhelmed by it sometimes. I like the polkadot/flower combo!

Thank-you! This one is pretty fool-proof with the acrylic paint. If you mess up you can easily wipe it off and start over. 🙂
So adorable! It’s a very spring-y design for sure 🙂 And I love the colors as well!
Thank-you! Haha I’m a spring fanatic if you can’t tell 😉
These are so cute! I am so awful with my nails. I always paint them nicely, and then can never have the patience to sit still while they dry! These are so good though!

Thank-you! I struggle with the sitting still part too. My kids always want me to fix something right after I paint them-haha
This looks so pretty. I suck at nail arts but this one is so simple that even I can try it. Will definitely try this out. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Thank-you! It’s easy- I promise! 🙂
GASP! I absolutely love these!!! I didn’t realize how easy it was to have cute flower nail polish. I’m going to give it a try. My daughter will love it 🙂
Thanks for sharing!
Thank-you! It’s not hard at all. Hope you all enjoy creating them! 🙂
Those turned out really cute! And the colors complement each other very well.
Thank-you! I thought the colors went together really well too 🙂
These are CAAAAUTE!!! Simple but oh so spring appropriate. Looks like I owe myself a mani!
