From simple to stiletto nails.

While just about everything in the world may largely be out of our control, at least we know which nail trends will hit it big this season, thanks to spring 2022 fashion month. From fresh hues to updated French manis to the shape everyone will be wearing, we did our homework (that is, scoured the runways and nail Instagram) to predict the trends that will take off in spring 2022. Keep scrolling for all the mani inspiration, and the products that will help you get the looks.

Pastels are always a spring staple, but this season’s crop is even softer and more ethereal than the usual shades.

Try updating classic pink for the season with a quartz-inspired hue. (Pro tip: Gel looks more opaque, while regular polish will be more translucent.)

Bold, verdant shades of green signal the change of seasons (and happen to be a major spring runway trend).

A darker, matte mani is an unexpected twist on both the black and green color trends.

The French manicure has been steadily making a comeback for a while now, but expect fun twists like this metallic pink-on-pink look from Collina Strada.

This wavy French-ish look from Peter Do is a cool update to the negative-space look (and doesn’t require much of a steady hand to replicate).

When in doubt, neutral never fails. Jin Soon Choi used the color Muse from her own line for this classic look at Altuzarra.

At Ulla Johnson, the Deborah Lippmann nail polish shade was a bit warmer, but equally pretty and versatile.

Spotted at LaQuan Smith: the return of this striking shape. It may not be the most practical nail trend of the season, but it sure looks cool.

When two iconic Italian luxury brands—Versace and Fendi—combined their powers for a runway show, there had to be a little sparkle involved, including rhinestone-adorned manicures.

And at Rebecca Minkoff, crystals covered the models’ clear faux acrylics, created by Gina Edwards for Kiss.
