5 Nail Polish Trends to Brighten Your Spring

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Davidson chapter.

I can’t be the only girl out there who loves a brand new mani/pedi to salute the beginning of spring, but with every mani/pedi comes the ever-important, much-contested and increasingly complicated question: Which color(s) should I pick?  For those of us who tend to be on the indecisive end of things, I’m here with some suggestions for fun, fashionable spring colors!

1. Flirty Fuchsia: Nothing says bold like a bright fuchsia nail color in the spring.  Let’s face it, every girl loves pink, and fuchsia has the right combination of strong and flirty that we love to see. You can’t go wrong with fuchsia nails paired with those classic spring looks, and they never fail to stand out with your favorite little black dress.   

2. Melon Shades: The variety in orange shades this spring gives you a wide range of possibilities to brighten up your life.  Whether you’re aiming for sweet and subtle or fiery and fierce, you’ll find your match with the range of chic orange shades this spring.  Fashion tip: pair with gold jewelry for a particularly luxurious look.

3. Timeless, Shimmering Nude: Nude nails never go out of fashion, and with a fun, shimmery twist, they can give a whole new dimension to spring nails. If you’re looking for classic glamor, shimmery nude polish is the way to go. Bonus: chipping is much less obvious with nude nails!

4. Simmering Spice:  The best part of spring is the little hints of summer that the warm weather brings. Earthy yellows, oranges and reds might be an unconventional choice for spring, but they certainly hint at hot summer days and look fabulous with neutral outfits.   

5. Bold Blues: With the days starting to heat up, we could all use a reminder of swimming pools and the ocean. What better way to do this than with a refreshing shade of blue on those nails? Whether you choose a soft baby blue or a statement electric indigo, you’re sure keep things cool this spring. 

Now that you have answers to the color question, go out and get that mani/pedi!
