New manicure with flowers 2024: 17 fashionable and extraordinary ideas
Certain manicure designs just scream "warm weather." Think fruits like cherries and watermelons, auras in sunset shades, or rainbow nail art. But if you ask us, nothing feels quite as spring/summer as a floral manicure. Whether it's bright yellow sunflowers, romantic roses, or dainty daisies, a floral manicure provides an instant mood boost—and looks pretty perfect wrapped around a glass of iced tea or lemonade.
From subtle pops of color to rhinestone French manis and everything in between, we've compiled a gallery of 17 floral nail looks. Scroll on to see them.
01 '70s Inspired
.
We love the combo of florals and pastels in this '70s-inspired mani.
Not into bright colors or pastels? Allow us to introduce you to black and white floral nails. This chic manicure deserves a spot in your nail lineup if you gravitate toward monochromatic vibes.
This nail art, though simple on its face, will likely take some time to achieve—but patience is a virtue, especially when your nails come out looking like this. Pick a fun base color, then two complementary shades for your polka dot-esque flowers. Add little green leaves and voila—a garden for your fingers.
Never have we ever seen so many flowers painted onto nails—but we're here for it. Add drops of your chosen colors to each nail, using a dotting tool to drag them into five points. Add white dots in the center of each to complete your bouquets.
This set offers a more understated approach to layered florals. Still, given the intricate details on the leaves, you might want to take this photo as inspo for your nail tech (as opposed to DIYing).

10 Sunflowers

If you have a super-talented nail artist who can hand paint any design, show them this photo of sunflower nails. These are perhaps the most life-like flowers we've seen on a mani yet, and we love how the shades of yellow, orange, and brown come together atop the "your nails but better" base.
This set might represent minimalism at its finest, but don't let that fool you—unless you're adept with nail art, it'd be tough to recreate by hand. Let your nail technician take this one on. (Or reach for nail stickers.)
If you love clean and simple nails, this rhinestone mani is for you. A bonus? It's super easy to DIY: Use a lining tool to drag drops of white polish into flower shapes to create your daisies, then add rhinestones in the center to complete the look.
Magenta might have been especially trendy last year (thank you, Barbie), but as far as we're concerned, it'll never go out of style.

This manicure is bound to put a smile on anyone's face. To emulate the gradient base, start by painting your tips bubblegum pink. While the polish is still damp, use a makeup sponge to diffuse it down toward the middle.
