Pretty pastels, bold pinks, and more

Headshot of Harper's Bazaar StaffBy Harper's Bazaar Staff

The best spring nail polish colors are also some of the brightest and boldest, with top shades ranging from burnt orange to mint green and lilac purple. But if you're not one to go for punchier manicure colors, we're betting softer options, like butter yellow and barely-there nudes, will be in your beauty rotation over the next few months.

While we'll always love the deeper tones of fall and winter, the best spring nail polish colors are a pleasant reminder of fresh blooms and more sunshine to come. Here, we've pulled together some of the best spring 2025 nail polishes to wear right now.
