Dive into Spring’s Hottest Nail Polish Trends with Chartreuse, Cobalt, & 9 More Vibrant Shades!

Slowly but surely, winter’s chill is being replaced by sunnier days — and with it, you can almost feel that early itch for spring’s light-filled energy.

While the winter manicure trends were all things deep, dark, and sultry, spring 2024 is leaning towards colorfully vibrant tones.

The Bright Side Of Spring

Traditionally, “soft girl” shades of pastel own the spring months — and while a few pale colors (like baby blue) are set to trend, this coming season is expected to be bolder than ever.

“After a particularly wet and snowy winter season across most of the country this year, we believe people are going to be ready to flaunt loud pops of color,” says Jacqueline Carrington, the founder of nail polish brand People of Color.

Jan Arnold, the co-founder of CND, agrees, noting that this coming spring will be defined by “vibrant colors and dimension, merging elements reminiscent of the hippie era.”

In other words, you can put away your dark red and glossy black polishes, as unexpected, ’70s-esque nail colors are sure to be major.
