Nd with it comes the warmth, the flowers, and the overall optimism that’s just part and parcel with a fresh, new spring. While transitional dressing can always be a little tricky, tweaking your manicure is one of the easiest and most immediate ways to usher in the season. Spring nail polish colors, in all their happy-go-lucky glory, can help bridge the gap ‘til summer and possibly even boost your mood along the way. But while the spring 2023 nail color trends definitely capture the essence of the season, they’re still so excitingly unexpected.
This past winter was all about opulent takes on the classic moody colors typically associated with the season. Deep browns and grays got dressed up in “glazed donut”-style chrome finishes, textured charms and beads acted like nail accessories, and red carpets were dominated by vampy oxbloods. This spring’s nail trends take a decidedly more relaxed approach to manicure colors, focusing on Mother Nature-inspired shades and finishes that can make anywhere feel sunny and 65 degrees. Below, TZR taps two top nail experts for a firsthand look at what nail colors to expect to see everywhere this spring.
“We are seeing an extension of the great classics that took the nail world by storm recently, ” shares Nails.INC founder Thea Green, listing glazed donut manis, neon French tips, and pastels as just a few examples. She says to count on spring nail trends being just as fun and playful, with options for maximalists and minimliasts alike. Traditional spring colors like yellow-toned grass green, soft blues and purples, orange-tinted reds, and every shade of pink are back again this year, too. The new class of spring colors, though, are mixing things up. An editorial nail artist and CEO of the Nailing Hollywood agency, Mazz Hanna says to be on the lookout for more muted citrus shades rather than those with full-on brightness. “Think the inside of a lemon, lime, and orange rather than the vibrant outside peel, ” she explains.
Spring 2023 Nail Polish Collection
For inspiration, just look to your favorite springtime drinks. The shades of muddled fruit in your cocktail is the perfect jumping-off point for spring’s biggest nail color trend.
If 2021 was all about the French manicure resurgence, 2022 was absolutely dedicated to glazed nails. Created by nail artist Zola Ganzorigt and popularized by her client Hailey Bieber, the gauzy, shimmery finish was everywhere last year — but it might
Hanna theorizes that the trend is losing steam, but could be replaced by similarly-interesting finishes. “I feel like this spring we’ll be seeing a lot more metallic and pearlized versions of the more vibrant shades of last spring.” For example, she explains, if a classic pastel purple was popular last year, the spring 2023 version would be a pearlized, “unicorn-esque” version of the same shade. “Last year we saw more pigmented pastels but this year everything feels a bit softer.”

As Green points out, there’s usually a synchronicity between fashion on the runway and nail trends as a whole — and while this year is similar, she says, it’s about pushing boundaries. “We are seeing a lot resurface from the Y2K era, bringing about the blue and neon pink hues, but also moving with the bare-face movement.” In other words, she says, “the no manicure-manicure is here to stay.”
Originally created and coined by nail artist Tom Bachik for his client Jennifer Lopez, the emerging “lip gloss nails” trend perfectly exemplifies Green’s notion of barefaced manicures. By focusing on neat edges, clean cuticles, and just enough color and shine, the style looks especially shiny and even juicy, not unlike the way actual lip gloss works.

The Best Nail Art Trends & Ideas For Spring 2023
The OPI Spring 2023 Me, Myself, and OPI Collection isavailable in the Nail Lacquer, GelColor, Powder Perfection, and Infinite Shine formulation starting February 2022.I’ll admit it: When it comes to spring beauty trends, I’m usually underwhelmed. Unlike in summer, when I completely swap my coffin nails for short nails, or go from nude nail polish to bright, neon shades, in spring, I’m usually feeling a bit meh about the vibes. But lemme tell ya: This year’s 2023 spring nail trends got a glitzy update from the usual simple Easter-egg pastels and neutrals, with nail jewelry, major embellishments, and metallic chromes dominating the season. Which means for once in my life, I’m actually struggling to pick my favorite spring trend.
So to help me (and you) out, I chatted with nail artist Ashmita Lama about the top 2023 spring nail trends, including what trends her clients are requesting, which celeb looks her clients are using as inspo, and how she’s transitioning her nails from winter to spring. Keep scrolling for all the looks with tips for how to get them at home:
“Don't be afraid to experiment with colors, like a bright-cobalt blue, which will be a common choice for spring and summer this year, ” says nail artist Ashmita Lama. “It’s classy and goes with everything, but definitely adds statement as well.” Try Orly’s It’s Brittney Beach or (my fave) Cirque Colors’ NYFW for that electric, bold-blue color.
Of The Best Spring Inspired Nails For 2023
Dainty, vintage-inspired floral designs were all over the spring/summer 2023 runways (LoveShackFancy and Susan Alexandra to name a few) and give off the vibes of period-piece, Bridgerton-inspired wallpaper. But if you’re not ready for a fully wallpapered mani, copy celebrity nail artist Betina Goldstein’s look above by sticking tiny flower decals to a light base color.
Ready to fast-forward past the delicate spring shades and roll right into the bright summer-y hues? I highly suggest starting with lime green. If you want your nails to look extra bright and neon, paint a white base layer underneath, then, paint on two to three coats of green nail polish to make the color really stand out.
A French manicure will legit never go out of style, but if you want an updated version, ask your nail artist for a micro-French tip, which not only elongates your nails but is also super versatile. Choose your favorite monotone color, whether you go for a bright shade or a neutral one, or go all in with a rainbow-French tip like above.

Why would we still reserve jewelry for only our ears and necks in 2023? Obviously, we’d find a way to bring the ~bling~ down to our nails, and the answer is these nail hoops. The look above is done with The Editorial Nail’s nail hoop (here’s a tutorial), which turns a basic solid-colored manicure into a whole moment. But FYI: This look is best achieved with press-ons, acrylics, or gel extensions to avoid having to pierce
