It’s that time to say goodbye to your winter nail shades, and hello to spring. Spring has always represented beautiful pastels, vibrant colors (adjacent to the blooming flowers), and underrated shimmering tones. To prepare you and your nails for the freshest springtime looks, we turned to longtime licensed lashes and nail expert, Michelle Nguyen.
“When it comes to classic spring fashion, neutrals are the unsung heroes for our professional nail artists,” Nguyen told Brit + Co. The nail artist predicts that light corals and oranges are going to be the “hidden gems of the season,” due to their sun-kissed glow and ability to “pop off a tan perfectly” — especially when paired with a white outfit. Wearable nail art will likely also be on the horizon this Spring, with trend aesthetics like “mob wife” and “cottagecore” continually taking over our FYP.
To prepare your very best looks, we hand-selected the prettiest nail colors that you should sport this year!
