8 peach-inspired designs for a spring mani
The easiest to wear of spring's trending sorbet shades, there's a finish to suit all moods and tastes
From soap nails to marbled gels, 2025 has seen countless nail colour combinations, textures and finishes, running the gamut from maximalist designs to barely-there neutrals. The latest: a sunny, light-filled peach, perfect for late spring and early summer, and which promises to be the most universally flattering colour of the season.
This shade's rising popularity is not only down to social media but also celebrity uptake – Selena Gomez opted for an elegant 'peach champagne' manicure to complement her Oscars gown, while A-list nail tech Iram Shelton shared her love for muted peach Poète from Chanel’s SS25 make-up collection with her 140k followers.
And it's no surprise we're peachy keen for this colour: it's as uplifting as it is versatile. Peach is a gentle way in to spring’s pastel and sorbet trends, while also being easy to update for the summer months as it layers equally beautifully with butter yellow and more striking coral tones (think creating sunset shades on your fingertips).
Whether you’re after a red carpet finish, natural nail with a pop of colour, or pure fun, below is our pick of the best peach design inspiration for your next nail appointment.
The 8 best peach designs for a late spring mani
Micro-Frenchies
Say oui to a French tip with a bright twist. Micro-Frenchies are a great entry point for new trends – the subtle, crisp strip of colour requiring minimal commitment but equally, offering something a little bit different. We love this natural, milky pink base and pop of colour for being timeless yet bang on-trend. For extra imapact, opt for a metallic or gold foil layer on top.
Peach champagne
Dubbed ‘peach champagne’, Selena Gomez’s Oscars mani was the work of celebrity manicurist Tom Bachik. This look is eminently wearable, marrying the effortless elegance of an almost neutral-toned peach shade with a hint of satin-y shimmer. Gomez's clean, rounded almond shape, meanwhile, keeps the colour contemporary.
Aura nails
Although aura nails first popped up on our radar back in 2023, the look's unwavering popularity since has secured its place as a foolproof design guaranteed to flatter, whatever the season. For the summer months, a cocktail of peach with yellow, pink or orange delivers a vibrant sunset-style gradient that’s as dreamy as it is pretty.
Painted marble
For abstract but on-trend, opt for a gorgeous glossy marble. Drawing inspiration from this year’s obsession with a blooming gel overlay (a watercolour effect with a jelly-like finish), this complementary peach and apricot blend is calling all maximalists.
Fruity accent
Combining accents, auras and all things nice, this ultra-summery set fully embraces the peach theme. A carefully crafted peach design for an accent nail will require an expert hand, and this serves as excellent inspiration to take to your next nail appointment.
Ombre tips
As an ode to a much-loved classic, opt for an ombre with an ultra-glossy finish. A nude, your-nails-but-better base blends seamlessly into a coral-peach hue, offering a subtle but summery touch to your tips. And as the months get hotter, take the intensity of these tones up a notch for a sundowners-on-the-beach-inspired look.
Glazed chrome
The newest iteration of the ever-evolving chrome finish is BioSculpture manicurist Isabel Blake’s take on a glazed peach. In salon, simply ask for a sheer chrome powder over your peachy shade of choice.
A yellow pairing
Ranking in the top tier of summer colour combinations, a peach and yellow swirl elevates an otherwise simple French tip. @glamnails_bymeg takes it a step further with alternating golden and pearl gems, for an easy, eye-catching addition.
