Spring Nail Designs with Lines

Simple DIY Nail Designs

Spring is just around the color, which means it is time to show off our nails and make sure they look just as good as our purse, shoes and other accessories! When I think of Spring, I think of pink. Nail designs for Spring also include other soft colors, such as light blue, lime, and pastels. Adding nail designs with lines is one way to make your look a little more interesting. This look is easy to pull off as long as you have a few nail art brushes in different colors.

The base color of this DIY nail design is a bold pink, but feel free to choose any color you desire. This simple nail art design would also look good in baby pink or baby blue. Besides some minor creative ability, this is a simple, fun nail design for spring.

After selecting your base color, paint all of your nails and let dry. Then, you have to designate 2 focal points. The focal point is simply the common dot that your lines are coming from. If your nails are shorter, you may only want to have one dot. Otherwise, create two small dots-one at the base of your nail and one towards the middle of your nail. Now, taking a white nail art brush, start at one of the dots and paint a “V” onto your nail. In other words, draw one white line that extends out to the left of each dot and draw one white line that extends to the right of each dot. Then, use black and draw a line in the middle of the white V. The black line should curve a little. It should not be straight. Do not over think it. Just draw a quick, black line. Finally, take your silver and draw a smaller V right on top of the white V. This will give your Spring nail design some flair.

If you wish, you have the option of adding small white dots on the ends of some of your lines. Pick 3 or 4 lines and add a dab of white to the ends. This will transform your nail designs with lines to a nail design that has a little more life.
