The long-awaited arrival of spring has put many of us in a hurry to do away with our winter coats, switch out our fragrance for a lighter one, and embrace more colour in both our wardrobe and makeup looks. From here on out, we’ll be sporting a fresh, dewy complexion, a bright lip, and a colourful manicure—among other ways of expressing our delight at the return of longer days and warmer weather. Here are seven perfectly on-trend nail colours we can’t wait to sport this season.

If you were all about Pantone’s 2022 Color of the Year, a soothing shade of periwinkle named Very Peri, you’re bound to love this lilac polish which recalls the blooms currently brightening up the landscape. Part of OPI’s Nature Strong collection, this natural origin lacquer provides a high-shine, lasting finish.

What could be more festive than pastel yellow to add a sun-kissed touch to your mani or pedi? We’re partial to this polish’s soft, creamy hue, as well as its brush, which makes even application an absolute breeze.

This saturated aqua nail polish reminds us of the ocean and makes us want to book a beach vacation, pronto. Wear it on its own for a gorgeous monochromatic look or combine it with other vivid hues for an even more festive effect.

We’re obsessed with this nail lacquer in all ways possible, from its elegant bottle to its plant-based formula that goes on evenly from the first application—not to mention its soft coral hue that makes us long for summer. It provides just the touch of colour we were craving, while keeping our mani semi-neutral. We love!

Green has been everywhere in fashion and interior design trends for the last little while—so it’s no surprise it’s made its way into beauty and makeup looks, too. Particularly apropos for spring, this rich khaki polish pairs easily with virtually everything in your wardrobe and lets you complete your mani with a single fast-drying coat.

If the increasingly warmer weather makes you crave bright, shiny nail colours, reach for this luminous gel effect polish in a radiant red hue. Its shine and wear are second to none, and its luscious colour is ideal for spring and summer.

Electric blue is a hot choice for nails this season. The easiest way to hop on the trend? Donning these colourful press-on nails that come with a built-in adhesive. Just press and go: no dry time needed. Plus, they’re waterproof, making them practical for pool days.
