Best Spring Nail Polish Colors
Milky Manicures
Don’t worry—spring brings renewal, but you don’t need to let go of your favorite looks just yet. Milky nails were a big hit last year and continue to be a hot choice. Moreover, sheer nails are still in. If you want a new look, try a milky sheer mani and blend the best of both worlds.
Chrome Nails
If you love metallics, rejoice because chrome nails are still going strong. One famous celebrity nail artist pointed out that chrome accents look good on all lengths and go with almost everything.
What’s more, the LaPointe runway show revealed models wearing chrome nails accented with gems. So, now’s the time to add extra sparkle to your spring!
Blue
Dress up your nails with the azure of a spring sky, and you’ll be right on trend. Major brands like Prada sent their models down the runway sporting spring and summer fashions while wearing sky-blue nails. Join the trend and infuse your nails with peaceful blue serenity.
Peach
Call it what you will: apricot, coral, or creamy orange. This year, peach nails will steal the spotlight for the most elegant look with minimal effort. It’s a versatile hue that adds a touch of warmth to any manicure. Whether it’s a base for intricate nail art or worn alone for a "your nails but better" effect, peach tones are a must-have this springtime!
Green
Famed manicurist Deborah Lippman predicts green will uproot the routine this spring. She explains that this beautiful color allows for a lot of experimentation. She recommended sage green tips on a French mani, but feel free to explore the possibilities. The flashy green glitter of a cat eye polish might be just what you need.

Earthy Shades
Surprisingly, earthy colors are also predicted to have a starring role on TikTok and in Instagram feeds. They include soft brown, beige, burnt orange, and verdant green. Try them out with a minimalist nail design, like floating French tips. Start with a sheer neutral base that pairs well with your skin tone. Then, instead of drawing the white smile line at the tip, use an earthy shade. Paint a straight line across the nail roughly one-third of the way down.
Trendy Styles to Showcase Spring Nail Polish Colors
Let’s explore the latest trends highlighting the vibrant palette of spring nail polish colors.
We’ll start with jelly polish for a natural-looking manicure with a soft, diffused effect for a fresh, dimensional look. Jelly finishes are one of the most exciting new trends in nail fashion, and we have a wide selection of shades! This style premiered on the runways of top designers like Michael Kors, Helmut Lang, and Brandon Maxwell in their spring 2024 collections.
Next, show off your wild side with animal print nails in spring hues. This trend takes classic animal prints like leopard, zebra, and cow and gives them a fresh twist. Whether you opt for a single accent nail or go all out with a full-on animal print manicure, these fierce designs will keep you on-trend.
Then, step up your manicure with 3D nail art and Kawaii aesthetics. Not only does it add extra charm and creativity to your nails, but it also suits spring shades. From delicate floral motifs to bold geometric shapes, there are many ways to incorporate tactile textures and eye-catching embellishments.
As for nail shapes, short and square with soft corners are currently some of the most popular styles. They have a chic and timeless look that’s universally flattering. The shorter length offers ease of maintenance and a clean, sophisticated appearance.
Not all of us are nail artists at heart, plus the cost of living has gone up. That’s why nail art accessories like stickers and press-on nails are game-changers. If you can’t get to the salon but want a stylish manicure, you have low-stress and low-cost options to make it happen. For example, choose a jelly polish and add a single rhinestone at the base of each nail. Voilà, you’re on point with a gorgeous spring manicure!
Tips for Renewing Your Nail Health This Spring
As we move into springtime, it's the ideal time to give your nails some much-needed TLC after the harsh winter weather. One easy way to rehydrate your nails is through nail slugging. It involves applying a thick layer of moisturizing cream or petroleum jelly to your nails and wearing gloves overnight. You’ll wake up with baby-soft hands and cuticles that look amazing!
Speaking of cuticles, using a nourishing cuticle oil day and night promotes stronger and more resilient skin and nails so you can achieve those stunning looks you crave. Adding these simple steps into your nail care routine ensures that your nails are in tip-top shape for spring shades.
