Who cares if it’s still cold out?
Chances are you can’t buy a whole new wardrobe every time the weather changes. Picking up a few nail polishes with each new season, however, is one of the most wallet-friendly (and commitment-free!) ways to try out a new trend. This spring is all about pastels and variations on your go-to shades.
Nothing says 2019 quite like Pantone’s Color of the Year: Living Coral. The bright orange with a golden tint screams springtime, plus it’s flattering for every skin tone. If you want to stick with the bright and bold trend, give canary yellow a go (seen on the spring runway at Natasha Zinko) and Pepto pink (the models at Jeremy Scott’s runway show rocked this hue). Both are equally cheerfully and eye-catching.
If you’re going for a more soothing springtime vibe, you’re in luck because a few softer shades are trending this season. First, there’s sky blue. Rock the muted-down shade all over your nails, or channel Zang Toi’s spring show and pair it with a stark white polish accent. Next up, a cool chartreuse that’s basically lime green’s little sister. The mix between yellow and green might look scary in the bottle, but it’s as easy to pull off as any pastel (as seen backstage at Tibi). Lastly, metallicsare taking over (they were seen at Rodarte, Opening Ceremony, and Anna Sui, just to name a few). These molten silvers and golds are so mainstream, they’re essentially neutrals. Pair them with any look and they’ll match perfectly.
No matter which direction you go, all of these trending spring nail colors will be sure to brighten your digits…and your mood.
