Forget the dark, vampy colors of fall – this spring, it’s all about brightening things up. Treat your tips and toes to one of these five spring nail colors – or all of them – and get ready to “spring” into a sunnier state of mind.
1. HOT Coral
Coral looks lovely on all skin tones, and is the perfect bright to wear this spring. Plus, nail color is a great way to wear look-at-me colors without feeling overwhelmed. A few to try:
- Sephora by OPI in I’m Wired, $9.50, Sephora.com

- NYX Salon Nail Polish in Hot Coral, $3.60, Cherryculture.com
- Essie Nail Color in Too Too Hot, $8, Beauty.com
2. Lilac
As far as pastels go, lilac is the clear winner this spring. Keep your hands well moisturized when wearing this shade, though – lilac tones can make skin look ashy. A few to try:
- Essie Nail Color in St. Lucia Lilac, $3.99, Amazon
- butter London Nail Lacquer in Muggins, $14, Macy’s (pictured)
- Zoya Nail Polish in Malia, $6, ShampooLine.com
3. Beige
Neutrals never go out of style, and that’s more true this season than ever before. If you’re tired of pastels but too timid for brights, a beige polish is the perfect compromise – and it looks very chic, to boot. Our favorites:
- Sally Hansen Nailgrowth Miracle Nail Color in Bold Buff, $5.50, Drugstore.com
- Orly Nail Polish in Nite Owl, $8, thebeautyclutch.com
- Sonia Kashuk Nail Colour in Sugar Rush, $4.79, Target (pictured)
4. Turquoise
Shades of turquoise nail color were seen all over spring runways, and it’s a modern and very fashion-forward color to choose. Whether worn on fingers or toes, this bold bright will liven up any outfit. Three to try:
- Essie Nail Color in Turquoise and Caicos, $8, Drugstores
- Sinful Colors Nail Enamel in Rise and Shine, $2.50, Cherryculture.com (pictured)
- Julep Nail Lacquer in Amy, $14, Julep.com
5. Fuchsia
Forget barbie pinks – this season, fuchsia is the go-to girly shade with a fierce edge. Whether you choose a bold, look-at-me shade or one with a hint of shimmer or glitter, you’ll be right on trend all season long. Our picks:
- Love & Beauty Nail Polish in Fuchsia, $2.80, Forever21 (pictured)
- China Glaze in Fuchsia Fanatic, $7, Ulta
