10 SPRING NAIL COLOURS YOU NEED IN YOUR COLLECTION
A new season brings with it a brand new palette of {nail colours}, and spring hues are some of our absolute favourites. Spring is synonymous with bright sunshine, that gorgeous baby blue sky and flowers in every colour of the rainbow, so of course your nails should reflect the same kind of energy.
It’s easy to switch up your shade, so let’s get experimental! Here are 10 sublime spring nail colours that you need in your life this season – from eye-catching coral to soft lilac – and {Cult Concierge} expert {Ryan} shares his pick of the best {nail polish} in each hue.
1. LILAC
Lilac is a spring shade that returns year after year, and it’s safe to say that it can do no wrong. Soft and feminine with a warm undertone, this elegant pastel hue gets its name from the lilac plant, which blooms in the late springtime – so it’s destined to be worn at this time of year!
{NAILS.INC NAILPURE - IT'S COOL TO BE KIND}

£15.00
For a high-shine and strikingly vibrant finish, NAILS.INC’s revolutionary NailPure polish in shade ‘It’s Cool To Be Kind’ is just what you need. The polish is vegan, cruelty-free and alcohol-free; plus it’s enriched with the brand’s signature Regenerating Complex that encourages keratin production for stronger, healthier nails. The end result? A gorgeously glossy finish in the most beautiful lilac tone.
2. BABY PINK
Fans of neutral nails will be well-acquainted with this iconic shade – and we’re happy to announce that it isn’t going anywhere this spring. Baby pink is associated with romance, kindness and serenity, so it’s perfect for channelling some positive energy this springtime.
{NAILS.INC PLANT POWER NAIL POLISH - EVERYDAY SELFCARE}
39
£9.00
You’re always guaranteed the best quality with {NAILS.INC}, and this vegan, cruelty free and halal-friendly polish is no different. The Everyday Selfcare shade looks beautiful on all skin tones and is super easy to apply thanks to the bottle’s patented brush.
3. WHITE SHIMMER
While we’re no stranger to a matte or glossy white nail, this spring sees the introduction of the white shimmer nail. Likened to glistening pearls or white quartz, this white polish shade contains tiny flecks of sparkle for a swoon-worthy silvery sheen. Opulence in a bottle!
{NAILS.INC PLANT POWER NAIL POLISH - GLOWING SOMEWHERE}
White is a frequent contender when it comes to spring nails (after all, nothing beats white nails with a tan), and the Glowing Somewhere shade by NAILS.INC is a truly beautiful take on the white nail. With its cruelty-free formula, you’ll also be doing your bit for the animals, too.
4. BITTER LEMON AND LIME
Spring nail colours usually go one of two ways: soft and romantic pastels, or bold, bright and out-there shades. We’re firm believers in mixing it up, and if we’re going bold, the bitter lemon and lime hue is one of our favourites. A mix between sunshine yellow and lime green, this is a shade that evokes confidence with a cheeky sprinkle of fun.
{SUQQU NAIL COLOR POLISH - 149}
54
£19.00
{SUQQU’s} Nail Colour Polish in 149 is the perfect bitter lemon and lime shade, with a slight pastel hue to ensure maximum wearability. With its sleek and luxe bottle (containing a slender brush for an easy application), plus its long-wearing formula that lasts all week, this nail polish practically sells itself.
5. DARK PINK NUDE
While some may argue that nudes are a year-round classic, there’s no denying that the softer, pinker nudes are the perfect spring nail colours. This shade is a gorgeous combination of all things pink: cherry blossom, roses and pink-tinged clouds, with just a hint of coral. The result is a fabulously feminine hue that you’ll never tire of.
{MANUCURIST GREEN FLASH VARNISH - BOIS DE ROSE}
54
£19.00
Gone are the days of having to leave your house for a manicure: The {Manicurist} Green Flash gives you gel nails from the comfort of your own living room! Offering a revolutionary take on gel polish, the formula promises bucket loads of shine and longevity, and can easily be taken off with a nail polish remover (no trip to the salon for us, thank you very much!). The cherry on top is the gorgeous colour range – Bois De Rose is the most perfect dark pink nude.
6. SHIMMERING BRONZE
Channel your inner Cleopatra this spring with a shimmering bronze nail look. This luxurious shade consists of mid-to-dark brown tones with a glistening top layer, reminiscent of liquid gold. This unique colour is sure to be an instant hit!
{MANUCURIST GREEN FLASH VARNISH - BRONZE}
It’s super easy to achieve enviable results with Manucurist's Green Flash – and their DIY gel manicure polish comes in plenty of swoon-worthy colours, so it’s hardly a surprise that we’ve included so many on our list. Choose the Bronze shade for a modern and sophisticated look that’s sure to evoke compliments.
7. CORAL
Eye catching and unique, coral nails can do no wrong – particularly in the springtime. This dynamic and vibrant colour consists of a mixture of pink and burnt orange, giving it a fresh and invigorating feel. No wonder it’s a favourite year after year!
{MANUCURIST GREEN FLASH VARNISH - CORAL REEF}
We’d describe their Coral Reef shade like an ex-boyfriend – it’s a colour you’ll keep going back to time and time again. But unlike the ex, only good things will come from your decision!
8. LIGHT PINK NUDE
Your spring nail polish collection wouldn’t be complete without a light pink nude. Calming and serene, this shade is the perfect all-rounder, whether you need a professional nail look for work or a holiday hue that’ll go with everything.
{NAILS.INC GEL EFFECT NAIL VARNISH - MAYFAIR LANE}

This polish is super simple to apply, and thanks to its revolutionary plasticiser technology, you won’t have to fuss with any LED lights or foils. Mayfair Lane is a highly-pigmented light pink nude shade that we’re utterly obsessed with.
9. RED CORAL
Red coral is essentially a darker shade of coral with more sophisticated red tones, and we just can’t get enough of it. It’s the perfect holiday nail colour – just imagine red coral nails with a backdrop of turquoise sea and white sand – bliss!
{NAILS.INC GEL EFFECT NAIL VARNISH - KENSINGTON PASSAGE}
A vivid red coral, the Kensington Passage shade of NAILS.INC Gel Effect Nail Varnish is for the bold at heart, and will look especially spectacular in all your holiday snaps. You’ll convince everyone you’ve splashed on a mani…but your secret’s safe with us.
10. SCARLET RED
Red takes centre stage in the winter months, with Christmas and Valentine’s Day calling for deep and sultry shades. But when spring eventually arrives, don’t be so quick to wave goodbye to this hue. Sexy and sophisticated, scarlet red is a year-round classic that never looks out of place.
{NAILS.INC GEL EFFECT NAIL VARNISH - WEST END}
Striking and untamed, the West End shade is the perfect scarlet red for springtime, and is sure to turn some heads! Wear it on dinner dates, nights out or day-to-day to add a pop of colour to your life.
