Find your perfect spring polish — fresh pastels, blooming florals, and soft botanicals to match the season. Spring nails are light and optimistic: baby pinks, lilacs, mint greens, buttery yellows, and sky blues, plus sheer petal tints for a fresh, natural manicure. Pastels pair beautifully with each other for a mix-and-match set.
Every spring shade is 17-Free, vegan, and cruelty-free. Pastels can be sheer on the first coat, so build two thin coats over a base coat for even color, and finish glossy. For a modern take, try one pastel on every nail — lilac, mint, lemon, blush — for a soft rainbow.
Frequently asked questions
What are the classic spring nail colors?
Pastels lead the season: lilac, mint, butter yellow, baby blue, and soft pink - fresh, light shades that echo everything blooming.
How do I wear pastels if they wash me out?
Choose pastels with a touch more pigment - a rosier pink or a slightly deeper lavender - or add warmth with a peachy pastel instead of icy tones.
What's a spring alternative to pastels?
Sheer washes of color and iridescent finishes capture spring's lightness without the pastel palette - fresh, dewy, and effortless.
When do spring shades start?
Whenever you're done with winter - but pastel season traditionally runs March through May, peaking around Easter and graduation season.
