Spring Nail Colours

If your nail polish rotation is basically just three different shades on repeat, then we get it—we all know how easy it is to get stuck wearing the same thing in the same way. Once you find a color that captures your vibe and your style, it’s pretty much your go-to for the entire season (or, let's be real, your entire adult life). But it's 2021! If there were ever a time to fully shirk the trends of last year, it's right now. So, instead of reaching for your usual classic red nail polish, let's shake things up a bit, yeah?

And to help you stop being so damn predictable with your spring nail colors this year, we’ve rounded up the coolest colors for you to try out for spring 2021, from warm apricot to metallic violet. Feel free to give your standard French manicure or usual baby pinks a rest in favor of one of our 35 picks, below.

TANGERINE ORANGE

ella+mila Samba Collection Nail Polish in Cause I'm Happy

Meet the spring 2021 version of Halloween pumpkin orange: this tangerine nail polish. If you're also someone who judges spring nail colors based on how closely they resemble foods that you want to eat that season, you'll want to try this orange creamsicle shade.

PASTEL PURPLE

OPI Nail Lacquer in You're Such a BudaPest

You don't have to be a purple person to like this bright lavender polish. If you love both rainbow colors and nail polishes that evoke the feeling of tranquility (but, like, not in a boring way), a pastel purple is a solid choice for your spring 2021 nails.

NEON GREEN WITH IRIDESCENT FLECKS

Cirque Colors Iridescent Nail Polish in Sour Punch

Didn't you hear? Green is going to be one of the biggest spring nail trends of 2021, so start stockpiling all the different shades. I'll bet you don't already have this sheer lime green with iridescent flakes, but I'll also bet that you now want it.

Nails Inc Kiss My Peach Duo Nail Set

This spring nail color is just...peachy. Sorry, had to. But actually, these two peach tones were practically made for warmer weather. Use each color in the set separately or mix and match them on your fingers. 

Smith and Cult Nail Lacquer in Darjeeling Darling

Okay, so you don't have to throw out all of your winter nail polishes—that green hue you wore all December long is the perfect spring 2021 nail color. Transitioning your forest green nail polish from the holidays into spring immediately takes it from festive to chic. 

Mischo Beauty Nail Lacquer in Undaunted

If you were to take a flat white polish and add a teeny bit of blue, you’d get this pastel blue shade. A spring nail color this shade doesn’t need shimmer to feel frosty.
