Spring Nail Color Forecast: Shades You’ll See Everywhere This Season

By Lisa M. Samad – Licensed Nail Instructor & Founder of Misaura

Spring is in the air—and that means it’s time to refresh your nails with shades that capture the season’s energy. As a licensed nail tech and beauty brand owner, I’m always tracking color trends both on the runway and in my salon chair. This year, spring nail colors are all about soft luxury, bold brights, and unexpected twists on classics.

Here’s your official Spring Nail Color Forecast so you can step into the season with nails that turn heads.

1. Soft Petal Pinks

Why They’re In:
Nothing says spring quite like pink—but this year, think airy and sheer rather than bold bubblegum. These romantic shades are perfect for everyday wear or layering under nail art.

Pro Tip: Pair with a glossy top coat for a clean, glass-like finish.

2. Fresh Garden Greens

Why They’re In:
From sage to matcha, greens are having their moment. They feel fresh, natural, and a little unexpected for spring.

Pro Tip: Try a muted green for a chic everyday look, or go brighter for festival season.

3. Lavender Dreams

Why They’re In:
Lavender is the ultimate spring pastel—calming yet playful. It pairs beautifully with silver foil or minimalist floral nail art.

Pro Tip: This is also the perfect base for ombré designs.

4. Sunset Corals

Why They’re In:
Think of that warm glow right before the sun dips—vibrant, juicy corals are a staple for spring-to-summer transitions.

Pro Tip: Coral shades look amazing on both short and long nails.

5. Barely-There Nudes

Why They’re In:
Minimalist beauty is trending, and nude nails are a timeless way to pull it off. Choose a shade that complements your skin tone for a polished, “my nails but better” look.

Pro Tip: Keep cuticles hydrated with LISHE Cuticle Oil so your natural-tone nails look flawless.

6. Glazed & Iridescent Finishes

Why They’re In:
Thanks to the “glazed donut” nail trend, pearlescent and shimmer finishes are here to stay this spring. They add a soft glow without overpowering your look.

Pro Tip: Layer over pastels for a dreamy, multi-dimensional effect.

Bring the Look to Life

Whether you’re booking a spring manicure at Misaura Nails or doing a fresh coat at home, the key to flawless color is healthy nails. Keep your nails and cuticles in top shape with:

💡 Final Tip: Switch up your nail shade every few weeks this spring to match the season’s energy—you’ll be surprised how much it can lift your mood.
