Bright Nail Looks To Welcome Spring 2025

Who says that bright colors are only for summer? When we think of spring, a lot of time, we think of pastels and more muted tones (like many of spring 2024's color trends), but this season is synonymous with bringing things to life. So, why not let it inspire you to breathe new life into your manicure? During the winter months, it can be so easy to get in the routine of using darker shades longing for summer when you can take those vibrant nail ideas to your nail tech. But you truly do not have to wait!

There are so many bright colors to choose from to ring in spring — and the best part is that they look great with a lot of the popular nail trends like fall 2023's aura nails and cat eyes, along with some of the classics like French manicures, geometric shapes, and nail art. Here are a few colors that you should consider for your next spring manicure.

We love all shades of blue, but there is something about this electric blue that really has us in a chokehold. Selena Gomez beat all of us to this stunning shade for spring after posting a short video of herself dancing to some of her new music on Instagram in February 2025. Her electric blue nails were very noticeable after dozens of posts from prior months showed her rocking more neutral tones.

We can definitely see ourselves taking a leaf from Gomez's book at our next nail appointment.

There is no color that screams "spring" louder than green. So, why not let it inform your next manicure? Though there are so many great shades to choose from (think the celeb-approved vibrant green trend of 2023), there is something magical about Kelly green. It is bright without being too vibrant and can be paired with so many other colors to ring in the season, such as blue, yellow, and pink.

Violet is such a great shade to try for your spring manicure, whether you want to use it as a base for your whole nail, or to create beautiful floral designs. And what could be more spring than pretty flower art that will make you want to show off your hands? You can also use violet across the tip of your nail and create white nail art such as hearts, flowers, and other designs. To refine your craft, try using this 31-piece Artdone nail art set available on Amazon.

Give your nails a fresh squeeze of orange for your next manicure! From bright orange to apricot, there are so many hues to choose from that will brighten up your nails. You can have so much fun with orange, plus the possibilities are endless thanks to the versatility of the color.

Raspberry is not only a delicious fruit and sorbet flavor, it can also make for a stunning color for your spring nails. Berry-colored nails is a trend that will always live rent-free in our minds, but of all the fruity shades, raspberry is great for spring. You can make it sparkly, matte, or even shiny!

Our list would not be complete without including a shade of yellow, and nothing is more classic than lemon. You can use the shade for a simple manicure, or you can take it up a notch by adding actual lemons like we did in one of these five fruity manicure ideas for summer 2024. You can also create half moons, ombre sunsets, and other designs. You could even throw in other colors like green, pink, purple, blue, red, and more! 

No matter what nail color you choose this spring, you will turn heads as you sip your lemonade. Just make sure you keep your manicure looking sharp by brushing up on the easiest ways to stop your nail polish from chipping.
