May is almost here, that’s why we wanted to round up our top May nails that are perfect for spring!

Whether I’m going to a salon or doing them myself, it’s so fun to get some inspiration!  That’s why I wanted to put together a collection of my favourite designs, so you can figure out what style you want to try!   If you love to do a monthly manicure, May has so many gorgeous designs to choose from.  

May is that perfect month where some of you are starting to experience summer weather and some are still in spring.  It’s the perfect month to either stick with pastels or you can start to try out some of those brighter shades!

Remember, feel free to pin any of the images below to recreate all of these designs in the future!  Also bookmark this page so you can reference it in the future!

Products we recommend

To achieve some of these styles below, we recommend using some products that will make it a lot easier to achieve the result you want. If you’re wanting to try out matte march nails at home, we recommend getting this matte nail polish:

Matte About You Polish

It easily turns any nails matte.  Play around with it!  Any design can be mattified. To be able to hand draw on bows or other small details like swirls, we recommend these nail art brushes.  They are incredibly fine, and help draw out really intricate details:
