8 Pretty Nail Colors We're Certain Will Be Popular at Salons This Spring

As you can probably assume from the stories currently populating our home page, to say we're excited about spring's arrival would be an understatement. With so much promise pinned on the next few months, our minds are officially in spring mode, regardless of the fact that the weather's got some catching up to do. So until we can slip into lightweight dresses and dust off our sandals, we're starting to carve out our springtime aesthetic in a way that doesn't call for double-figure temperatures by upgrading our nails.

One of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to transition your look between seasons is with a slick of fresh paint on your talons. While the moody colors of burgundy, black, and navy always serve us well in the colder months, spring calls for a brighter polish palette. So which spring nail colors are we buying into? The classics. Keep scrolling to discover the spring nail colors we'll be wearing that look striking on all skin tones. 

Style Notes: While red nail polish looks great year-round, for spring, look for colors with an orangey tone for a more brilliant, juicy payoff. 

Style Notes: The color of almost every '90s girl's bedroom walls, lilac has since had a major makeover. As well as dominating our wardrobes, it now decorates the hands of stylish women all over Instagram. 

Style Notes: White nails made a major comeback a couple of years back as the minimalist dresser's polish color of choice. The trend is showing no signs of disappearing for spring 2022. 

Style Notes: Probably the most divisive shade in our spring nail colour lineup, striking shades of green polish have caught the attention of more and more fashion people. Keep the look polished by avoiding lime shades. Instead, seek out powdery tones of pistachio. 

Style Notes: Bright pink is set to be one of 2022's biggest color trends. If a full-on fuchsia ensemble feels too daunting right now, nod to the look with a bubblegum-pink mani. 

Style Notes: One of our favourite spring signifiers is when gorgeous yellow daffodils begin decorating our green spaces. Pay homage to the flower with yellow polish that's more muted than zingy. 

Style Notes: When it comes to spring nail colours, none are quite as transportive as aqua hues. Just looking at these shades puts us in the holiday mood (even if it's grey skies as far as the eye can see). 

Style Notes: Bright-orange nails are synonymous with the warmer months, especially holidays. Although you might not be jetting off anywhere exotic to show them off, giving your nails a slick of orange will help brighten a summer spent on home soil.
