Mint manicure — the main spring trend: 9 of the most stylish ideas of the season that look expensive
Colors are often associated with emotions and imagery: red with passion, purple with luxury and power. But green holds a special place. For most people, it represents nature, freshness, and renewal — which is why it is often called one of the most “spring-like” shades.
And what else is associated with spring? Of course, pastel tones.
When pastel meets green, one of the most delicate and trendy shades is born — mint. It is a light, fresh, slightly blue-green tone that fits perfectly into spring wardrobes and beauty looks, especially nail designs.
We have collected 9 mint manicure ideas — from minimalist options to intricate nail art. Save your inspiration!
1. Mint Marc Jacobs

A crystal-clear mint manicure spotted on the Marc Jacobs runway became a true symbol of the trend. The designer himself even captioned the photo “more mint” — and it’s hard to disagree. This shade looks fresh, expensive, and very modern.
2. Watercolor mint ombré

A perfect blend of mint, lavender, lilac, and soft peach creates the effect of a spring watercolor painting.
Bonus — this design is easy to recreate at home: simply apply the polishes onto a sponge and gently transfer the shades onto the nails.
3. Pastel mix

If complex designs aren’t for you, choose a pastel mix. Each nail in a different shade: mint, lavender, pink, and blue.
The main rule — include at least a couple of mint nails to keep the trend idea.
4. Mint French manicure

Small floral designs are one of the most spring-like motifs. They can be applied on a mint base or used as accents on a few nails. The result is a light, romantic manicure.
6. Mint ombré with chrome effect
