Spring is almost here, and you know what that means: fresh nail trends are blooming.
And while we’re all for the deep browns and moody winter vibes we rocked for months, it’s time to lighten things up. The latest nail trend is already making waves.
Glow French manicures—and bestie, they’re about to take over your Pinterest boards this season.
What Is the Glow French Manicure?
Think of your classic French mani but with a spring-ready twist. Instead of the usual neutral pink base, the Glow French manicure uses a sheer, jelly-like polish (typically a warm peach or soft pink) that gives your nails a healthy, radiant glow.
It’s like a cream blush but for your nail beds—and honestly, it’s the easiest way to make your hands look fresh and polished without trying too hard.
Celebrity nail artist Harriet Westmoreland coined the trend, describing it as a manicure that “gives a healthy glow to the nail plate and skin whilst elongating the nail bed.” And she’s right.
Paired with crisp white tips and either an almond or soft square shape, this look is straight-up springtime perfection.
Why Glow French Nails Are About to Pop Off
If you’ve already started saving pastel French tips and light nail colors for spring 2025, add this to your inspo folder ASAP. The Glow French is chic, effortless, and looks good on every nail shape and length.
Plus, the peachy undertone warms up your skin tone and makes your nails look naturally healthy—no filters needed.
Nail girlies who live for minimal-yet-fun looks are already hopping on the trend. The jelly base gives that “your nails but better” effect, while the crisp white tips keep things clean and classic.
It’s the kind of mani you can wear to brunch with the besties or to that spring wedding on your calendar.
How to Get the Look
