Spring Nail Colours for 2024
We've been taking note of what colours are going to be trending this year, and we know that a combination of bold spring shades and pastel polishes are set to be in.
Pastel nail colours are always a classic in springtime, and they're not going anywhere in 2024. This year, we're looking to sweet shades that embody the freshness of spring. But we're also going to see a burst of vibrant hues too.
Take our word for it – these are going to be the must-have nail colours this season, all the way through to summer.
#1 Lime Green
If there's one way to welcome the season, it's with a refreshing switch from the muted tones of winter to bright and bold colours. Lime green is definitely one of the top choices for this spring.
This electric shade will add a pop of colour to any spring mani, and our Lime Cordial Gel Polish is the ultimate shade for achieving this look. It's vibrant, fun, and zesty.
#2 Bright Red
Keeping on theme with vivid shades, bright red is another standout colour for spring. This fiery hue exudes confidence and energy, making it the perfect choice for those who want to make a statement.
Our new Magic Toadstool Gel Polish is the perfect shade of bright red, and it'll work right through to summer, too. Plus, with its long-lasting formula, you won't have to worry about touch-ups during all your springtime activities.
#3 Pastel Orange
If you want to switch things up from the traditional pinks and purples of spring, consider a pastel orange for your seasonal mani. A delicate orange polish is the perfect balance between bold and soft, and it goes well with almost any other nail colour.
Our recommendation? Our Orange Blossom Gel Polish in our Enchanted Garden collection. It's the perfect shade for those who want to add a pop of colour to their spring look.
#4 Light Orange
Feeling the orange but want something a little more pungent? Opt for a light orange shade that'll brighten up your nails, and your mood.
Our Apricot Jam shade is the perfect match for this look. It's a light, creamy, cool-toned orange polish with a pink undertone. It's as sweet as it sounds and will definitely give your nails a playful, springtime vibe.
#5 Pastel Pink
It wouldn't be spring without a pastel pink, and this nail colour isn't going anywhere for 2024. It's too much of a classic!
Our Nymph Gel Polish is our top choice for a pastel pink shade. It's a sheer, soft, and subtly shimmery hue that's still full of pigment. Pair this with other pastel gel polishes or mix it up with bold shades – it'll look beautiful however you choose to use it.
#6 Light Yellow
Light yellow nail colours are another sunny pick for this spring. This cheerful hue will instantly brighten up your mood and coincide with the blooming flowers and warmer weather.
Our Custard Gel Polish will be a go-to shade for us this spring. It's a creamy, light yellow that looks beautiful when worn alone or as part of a spring nail design.
#7 Pastel Lilac
We'd say this spring nail colour is actually very delightful!
Our Quite Delightful pastel lilac gel nail polish is the epitome of the coming season. It's light, refreshing, and delicate – all things spring and summer!
It looks gorgeous as a stand-alone shade, but works incredibly well when paired with the other pastels, like our Nymph Gel Polish.
#8 Candy Pink
It might seem a bit rogue to include a bold pink in our spring gel nails collection, but this shade is actually set to be a big trend this season.
Our Fondant Fancies Gel Polish is a stunning candy pink shade with a slight lilac undertone. It's a fun and playful colour that's truly perfect for the sunnier days coming our way.
#9 Icy Blue
There's no way you can forget about this spring nail colour.
The deep icy blue gel polish of our Forget Me Not shade is perfect for those who crave classic and romantic gel spring nails.
It's perfect for matching with the long-overdue clear skies that are on the way!
#10 Pistachio Green
Summer is the time for ice cream – and pistachio-coloured nails!
Our Gelato Gel Polish is right on trend for this season and perfect for adding some confectionary delight to your mani. It's definitely one of our favourite pastel nail colours, and we're sure it'll become a firm favourite in your spring gels collection.

FAQs
What colour nails are in for spring?
This year, pastel nail colours will be making a very welcome return, alongside some slightly more unexpected nail colours. Bright, sweet shades like candy pink, bright red, and lime green will be in for 2024, as will our classic pastel lilacs, pinks, and oranges.
What are the best spring nail colours for 2024?
For spring 2024, we always reach for pastel gel polishes, particularly pink and purple. Light lilac shades, like our Lady Like and Quite Delightful Gel Polish, are incredibly popular choices. Soft shades of pink, like Primrose Hill and our new Nymph Gel Polish from our SS24 collection, are also perfect for spring.
What nail colour should I wear in April?
We'd definitely say April is for soft and muted tones of green, blue, and pink. With Easter around the corner, you could even opt for a white or pastel yellow with our Speckled No Wipe Top Coat. Any nail colours that leave you feeling like a spring bloom are ideal.
Can I wear spring nail colours in summer?
Most definitely. Spring nail colours can be very trans-seasonal and easily transition into summer, particularly pink, orange, and green polishes.
Our SS24 collection – The Enchanted Garden – includes gel colours perfect for both spring and summer, like the candy pink of Fondant Fancies and neon green of Lime Cordial. It's the perfect gel polish collection to take you from spring to summer.
