Florals for spring are not new—Miranda Priestley made sure we knew that back in 2006. However, we do love a fresh take on florals during this season of rebirth. Rather than get floral nail art painted on, opt for elegant pressed flower nails for a bugs in amber moment (but totally chic). Find your nearest nail artist who can create this look and show them your favorite inspiration from below.

Lilac pressed flower nails
“Teeny tiny pressed flowers are encapsulated between coats of clear polish and cured under a UV lamp. It's fresh, eye-catching and a sure conversation starter,” writes Mansion Beauty UES, who offers the manicure in New York.

Golden pressed flower nails
This nail artist notes that pressed flower nails can suit any skin tone, length or shape of nail. They can “be done in a hard gel (if you need extra nail support or extensions) or a soft soak-off gel as pictured.”

Natural French pressed flower manicure
The sheer nature of this set allows the natural white tip of the nail to shine through, promoting a natural French manicure look. While pressed flower nails are often a bit more sparse, we love how saturated with petals this set is.
