The 10+ Best Spring Nail Trends of 2023
Chrome and dainty French nails are here to stay.
By 
There are several fun nail art and manicure trends to look forward to this spring, but if you try just one, make it chrome. Silver, bronze, any metallic at all—done in both opaque and sheer formulas, chrome nails were seen on so many spring 2023 runways. But there are many other trends to choose from, from trending nail colors to must-try nail art like mushroom motifs. Ahead, the fun, sparkly, and super-chic spring 2023 nail trends you’re about to see all over your FYP.
Fresh Chrome
Call them Hailey Bieber nails, Glazed Donut nails, or whatever you want—chrome nails are simply the biggest nail trend of spring 2023. At Fe Noel, the silver-white chrome was painted on nearly sheer, giving the most Instagrammable effect.
