Many of us neglect our toenails during the colder months. After all, they're hiding away in the comfort of cozy Uggs or lug-sole boots. However, as the warm weather approaches—and we unpack those sandals and peep-toe pumps—the idea of a pedicure, DIY or in the salon, becomes much more enticing.
We asked pro nail artists Britney Tokyo and Georgia Rae to give us insights on the trendiest pedicure shades for spring. Read on for seven nail colors to help get you in the spring spirit and add an extra pep to your step.

Pastel Glazed Colors

The glazed donut trend took the beauty world by storm thanks to Hailey Bieber, who embraced subtle hues with iridescent shine. This spring, we'll still be riding that glossy wave. "The spring pedicure trend is pastel glazed colors, especially lavender and yellow," Tokyo says. These shades are perfect for adding a gentle pop of color without overdoing it.
Light Blue Tones

With so many sunny days and blue skies ahead, it only makes sense to incorporate light blues into your spring beauty routine. A pastel baby blue flatters all skin tones and will help you prepare for the warmer days on the horizon.
Sheer Nudes
Kur Nail Veil #4 ($20)
Sheer nude shades are perfect for those who prefer minimal looks. And, thanks to how buildable most of the formulas are, you can switch up your vibe by painting on as many (or few) coats as you'd like—think milky pedi or opaque neutral. "It's an understated way to explore shades you wouldn't normally reach for," Rae says.
Purple Tones

If you're feeling bolder when you get to your pedicure appointment, opt for a sweet lavender hue (like this one) or a deeper purple that exudes royalty. The vibrant pigment is an instant mood booster.
Neon Pastels
Kiara Sky Nail Polish in Peachin' ($10)
Get ready for festival season with electrifying hues that will pair perfectly with an over-the-top outfit—think bright peach or pink. "Neon pastels have been favored around this time every year, especially among young people attending outdoor festivals like Coachella," Tokyo says, who believes fashion trends are driving the popularity of the shades.
Classic Whites
Essie Nail Polish in Blanc ($10)
Listen, we get it—sometimes, being surrounded by so much color during the springtime is more than enough, and you don't feel the need to extend that bright energy to your toenails. Opt for a classic white hue if you're indecisive or want something that will go with all your spring looks.
Copper Metallics
Londontown Nail Polish in Sugarcane ($16)
To add shimmer to your toenails while embracing the warmth, skip the silver and opt for tones like copper and gold instead. This pretty copper shade might frost your toes, but there's nothing cold about it.
