Pop Culture & Art March 25, 2025

Velvet fabric may feel too heavy for spring, but velvet manicures have certainly earned their place during the season.

The allure of this manicure finish, with its shimmering, shifting polish, gives nails a polished look that seems like a work of art.

No wonder velvet nails remain one of the top requests in nail salons year-round.

To make velvet nails work for spring, the trick is to choose the right shades.

Pastel hues like pink, purple, blue, green, and yellow are perfect for the season, but neutral tones like cream, champagne, and white also do wonders.

Here are some velvet nail ideas to try out this spring:

Grape Glass Velvet Nails

Bold purple shades can be a bit daring for spring, but with a glassy velvet finish, they’ll fit right in. This deep hue brings a rich, glossy look that’s perfect for the season.

Pink Velvet Butterfly Nails

Spring is all about transformation, and butterflies symbolize that beautifully. These pink velvet nails featuring delicate butterfly designs are a meaningful way to celebrate the season.
