After an ice and snowy winter, we’re eager to add a splash of color to our nails this spring with bright and bold hues or subtle pastel tones – these nail polish trends will certainly turn heads this spring.

Cobalt blue nails make an unforgettable statement this summer, pair them with a neutral-hued base to keep your look polished and sophisticated.

1. Cobalt Blue

2024’s colors for nails have moved beyond minimalist neutrals to include vibrant splashes of color reminiscent of the sea, such as cobalt blue. This bold hue makes a stunning statement on either your hands or toes, depending on which kind of pedicure style is being employed this spring.

Blue nails have seen an enormous surge in searches on Pinterest over the past two years – it is evidently popular as searches have skyrocketed 260%! Blue is also an elegant yet playful option that would work perfectly as part of a nail design that stands out.

Light green nails have made waves this season for their soothing atmosphere and natural-inspired hues, such as Morgan Taylor shade. You could channel spring’s blossoming petals by choosing one of Mineral Fusion Olive You or Londontown Sedona’s dramatic green shades as your manicure color.

2. Neon Green

Vibrant neons are increasingly fashionable for those looking to make an impressionful statement with their nails, while subtler hues such as light green are perfect if you prefer keeping things understated yet still stylish.

Light pastel hues are becoming increasingly popular this year, adding a delicate touch to manicures. From mint green and baby blue hues, pastels provide an opportunity to enhance natural beauty while injecting vibrant pops of color into your style.

Metallic finishes are an eye-catching trend, perfect for adding an eye-catching pop of color to any look. To give it an added flare, try incorporating patterns like stripes or polka dots into your manicure for something extra unique and eye-catching!

3. Peach Fuzz

Peach Fuzz was selected as the 2024 Pantone Color of the Year due to its soft and soothing qualities that bring delicacy and finesse to winter nail styles. Furthermore, this shade makes an outstanding springtime choice when worn alongside floral designs or deep French manicures.

Milky manicures were all the rage last summer and have made a comeback this spring. Choi recommends Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Nail Color City That Never Peach as one of her go-to shades with no-streak formula for an impressive milky hue.

Sheer milky manicures are another trendy choice for spring. Consider JINsoon Dew for an alabaster hue or Essie Ballet Slippers in pink for its subtle sheen. Or create something even more daring by layering several different peach hues to achieve an ombre effect!

4. Soft Pastel Tones

After a long winter, it’s time to give our nails some TLC this springtime! While soft pastel hues usually dominate this time of year, experts predict this year will bring bolder hues that stand out more than ever.

Another popular color trend in nail polish is green – making a statement in jeans as well as dresses. Try shades like Pistachio for an airy pastel green shade and Matcha Latte for creamy pastel mint green to complete the look!

If the thought of a bold green manicure is too bold for your taste, try opting for something subtler like JINsoon Dew’s sheer alabaster hue instead. Wear this polish alone or pair it with glitter topcoat for added fun!

5. Metallic Finishes

Metallic hues add an eye-catching finish to any manicure, whether they be holographic, iridescent, or chrome. This trend plays with textures for a unique effect that can serve either as an understated accent or bold statement piece.
