Frosty Periwinkle
Cirque Colors calls this periwinkle blue with delicate shimmer Hygge — Danish for "cozy" — which is perfect for a snuggly, at-home vibe when the spring air is still a bit nippy.

Peony Pink
If you're craving a light pink, go with an opaque polish that won't take four coats to achieve full-coverage shine. Olive & June founder Sarah Gibson Tuttle says that was her main goal when creating this $8 shade of creamy peony.

Sage Green
Essie's spring 2021 collection includes an array of limited-edition neutrals, the most novel being this soft, easy-to-wear green.

Lemon Yellow
Yellow nail polish can be tricky when you're looking for a subtle shade, like lemon. Opt for a color with a creamy white undertone, which reads more soft-glow sunshine than neon.
