Seasonal Nail Colors: Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter
Choose nail colors by season using temperature, saturation, wardrobe and finish instead of following a fixed trend list.
Seasonal nail colors can be a useful source of inspiration, but you do not need to change your manicure simply because the calendar changes. Start with the mood you want and then adjust color depth, saturation and finish.
Spring
Soft pink, lilac, fresh green, peach and milky shades can create a light seasonal palette. Jelly finishes can add a translucent effect.
Summer
Coral, bright pink, aqua, cobalt and sunny yellow can feel energetic. Glossy finishes emphasize the brightness of saturated shades.
Fall
Chocolate brown, burgundy, olive, amber, plum and muted teal create richer palettes. Cream and glossy finishes work well for a polished look.
Winter
Deep berry, sapphire, emerald, charcoal, classic red and icy neutrals can create a higher-contrast winter manicure.
Make trends personal
Use season as one input rather than a rule. Your skin depth, undertone, nail shape, finish and wardrobe can all change which seasonal shades feel right.
