It’s finally spring. Even if the weather still feels like the middle of winter. But once the temperature (finally) warms up, it’s time to switch things up. No, we’re not talking about splurging on a new wardrobe or updating our makeup. We’re referring to transitioning from winter nail polish shades to more spring-friendly hues.
You’re probably envisioning pastel lacquers and super bright colors. Yes, they’re definitely on the table. But this season we’re not limiting our selection to expected shades. Nail polishes in primary colors are in for spring. Especially if you’re thinking about experimenting with nail art. This season understanding undertones is vital. A bold yellow hue really makes a statement with ochre accents. Ballet pink with lilac undertones is a bit less precious. Understated blue tones can also enhance almost any purple shade.
You can rock a different color every day of the week. Or even several at one time. And don’t be afraid to clash by wearing different hues on your fingers and toes.
Ready to update your stash to suit the season? From brand new shades to go-to classic colors, these are the hottest nail polish shades for spring. Some will even stick around for summer.
