I know it’s been rather cold in most of the country and it’s currently rainy and overcast where I am as well, but I think it’s safe to say that we are ready for Spring. Whether or not the weather has yet to get the memo, let’s do this thing! What better way to get ready than to dress for it and paint your nails some fun Spring-y colors…
Today I’ve rounded up some of my favorite nail colors for the warmer season. Of course you have the right to wear whatever colors you want no matter what time of year it is, but as the weather changes — or not! — picking a fun bright color can definitely brighten your mood!

A little bit of the rainbow here, isn’t it? I’m confident you’re a little happier already. Remember, these are all just fun suggestions for how to prep your nails for Spring. Pick and chose which colors you love and work best for your skin tone and just go for it. I’ll share the brand and the name of the color so you can grab yourself some of these fun colors.
Yellow
Even though my mom would say differently, anyone can wear yellow. If you’re not sure if you can pull it off, start with a soft, muted yellow and take it from there. If you have a darker skin tone, then rock the brights, baby! The contrast looks fabulous!

Orange
Another great nail color for Spring is orange. It also looks great on darker skin tones, but there are many shades that can work for everyone. It is definitely worth trying to find a shade that works for you. An added bonus? It helps you look more tan!

Gold
Not just for the holidays, gold is the perfect accent color to create cute Spring nail art. Whether it’s just an accent finger or a full chevron manicure, gold is a definite must-have this season.

Green
Green is a great nail color for Spring as it represents new life after a long Winter. Mint green is especially pretty and looks great with all skin types. Coordinate it with gold and create an especially beautiful spring manicure.

Blue
Blue is such a lovely nail color and yet I think is often overlooked because it’s both unexpected and falls outside the ‘classic’ colors. But whether you go with a soft, pale blue or a vibrant, bright shade, it’s definitely a color you should try this Spring.

Pink
Ahhhh pink, can you ever go wrong with a lovely shade of pin, right? Even though it’s a very traditional nail color, specially for Spring, it still never goes out of style. Try a super soft pastel pink for fancy occasions like a wedding or a vibrant, bright pink for a fun girl’s night out. There is always a shade of pink for every occasion.

Purple and Gray
Even though Spring brings with it fun, bright colors, it’s still okay to wear some muted colors from time to time. I know I love some grays and taupes for sure. Purple is also a fun and different color to wear and whenever I wear my Julep in Avni, I always get compliments!

I hope you’re inspired to try out some of these nail colors for Spring! Hopefully they will brighten both your mood and your day!
