While nail trends come and go, we can always count on floral manicures to remain front and center. There are so many ways you can put a spin on floral nails—you can opt for traditional daisy or sunflower designs or go for more playful and abstract floral nail art. But as of late, micro floral manis have been stealing the spotlight. Inspired by the intricate details of nature, this design combines the elegance of dainty blossoms with the artistry of miniature designs reminiscent of encapsulated flowers. Ahead, weve rounded up 12 micro floral nail ideas to inspire your next mani.

Nude nails dont have to be basic. You can easily upgrade your neutral shimmery mani by adding flower stickers to a few nails.

This mani is golden and gorgeous. Celebrity nail artist Betina Goldstein achieved this vintage gold look by brushing gold powder on top of clear polish and adhering real dried pressed flowers on top.

Fiery Red Florals
@adaluz_nails
This manicure is bold yet dainty at the same time. The stiletto shape gives this look a dramatic edge while the tiny flowers and flecks of foil give it a delicate feel.

Spring Garden Tips
@saruhnails
If you dont have actual floral appliques or stickers on hand, you can definitely achieve the micro-floral look by hand-painting your flower designs. Here, editorial manicurist Sarah Alaina swapped out a traditional French tip for one made of delicate garden florals.
