With the resurgence of the Y2K trend, butterflies are now everywhere. Whether it be clips, or butterfly inspired makeup, this look has really taken off ( no pun intended ). Butterflies are even a nail trend with celebrities, such as Kylie Jenner and Demi Lovato.

Butterfly nail art is more suited for the Spring or Summer months. These light-hearted designs are perfect for the carefree weather and spirit of the warmer months.

Butterfly Nail Art

Butterfly nails can be worn in a multitude of ways. The beauty of this trend is its versatility, from the subtle nails with a sticker option to 3D artwork that makes it look as though these butterflies are really on your nails. Butterfly nail art can be worn with several different colors. Pink, purple, or even glitter nails would look great with butterfly nail designs.

Scroll below for 35 cute butterfly nails that would look great for your Spring or Summer manicure.

Butterfly Nails

A lengthy nail is a better canvas to showcase the various butterfly designs. Just look how pretty these designs are on a longer nail.

These nails are a softer, more feminine vibe on the butterfly trend.

Maybe you don’t want your entire nail in butterfly designs? The smaller butterfly designs are just as cute and really pop on a neutral base.

Add some 3D butterfly effects to your manicure. The 3D butterflies look like they are fluttering on your nails. These are perfect for a baby or bridal shower.

Since butterflies are a Y2K trend, I have to represent with some 90’s throwback butterfly manicures.

Pink is such a light and soft color that compliments the butterfly design. Whether it be hot pink or a lighter shade, the pink palette works well with these designs.

Many of these nails have the entire butterfly, but the wings is also a popular representation. Some of these are more intricate than others, so there is a style for everyone.

The color blue really makes these fluttering designs pop.

When you think of butterflies, you think of them floating around on a crisp sunny day.

These decals are gorgeous and a great way to try the butterfly look.
