Spring Nails reflect the very essence of the season — a sense of renewal comes upon us and we begin to embrace colours and bolder looks.

What better way to celebrate than with a fresh manicure? This spring’s nail colour trends offer a mix of soft pastels, chic neutrals and sunny day hues that capture the essence of the season.

Pastel Lavender Spring Nails

“Lavender is the ultimate spring shade, offering a soft yet vibrant look that perfectly complements the season’s blooms,” says Kelli Armstrong, founder of Nailfitt Press-On Nails. “Pastel lavender spring nails are a subtle way to add a pop of colour without overwhelming your overall look. Whether you opt for a glossy or matte finish, this color is feminine and universally flattering.”

Coral Spring Nails

“Coral spring nails, a beautiful blend of pink and orange, have emerged as one of the hottest nail shades this season,” says Kelli. “The sun-kissed hue is both energetic and romantic. Plus, it complements all skin tones, from fair to deep, bringing warmth and vibrancy to your look. Wear it monochrome or with design elements for statement days out.”

Soft Beige Nudes

Do nude nails ever go out of style? We don’t think so, and Kelli agrees.

“This spring, the emphasis is on neutral shades in squoval and round shape for a sophisticated appearance. And nudes with a touch of shimmer is perfect for adding a little glam to an otherwise understated look.”

Sky Blues

“Every hue from powder blue to deep cerulean is on trend for spring nails,” Kelli tells us. “For a playful twist, nail enthusiasts are showcasing design elements in the way of shapes and swirled nail art. This trend is perfect for adding a splash of color without being too bold.”
