Get ready to knock ‘em dead with your nails. The spring nail color trends for 2019 are off-the-charts amazing! Forget about a shocking red, you’re going to shock and wow with a whole new color palette this season.

If there’s one thing to remember this season, it’s to throw conservative out the window. This is an inexpensive way to update your look and go a little wild. And once you’re done with one color, it’s time to move on to the next. Embrace the fun frivolity of the season with these trendy nail colors.

Yellow

For most people, last winter was harsh, so it’s time to bring on the sun. What better way to embrace this celestial body than putting it on your nails? Bright and sunny yellow nails put you in the mood for a season of fun.

Lime pastel

Pastels are a hit this season, but with a distinctly opaque look. Think old-fashioned, home-dyed Easter eggs on your fingers. But don’t be caught without lime in your repertoire. If you want to look smoking hot this season, you’d better serve it up with a slice of lime.

Slime green

If you find that the lime green leaves you wanting more, then slime green is the answer. Believe it or not, this deeply saturated hue is the biggest social media buzz this season. It’s sexy, it’s bold, and it’s a little slimy but you’re going to love the results.

Baby blue

Gentle baby blues get turned up a notch this season when you mix and match hues. Look for an ombre across your fingers or opt for one that goes from nail tip to bed. Throw on a splash of glitter or something that shimmers, and the look is simply dreamy.

Neon hues

Oh, so many options. Neon makes a splash across your fingertips with a look that excites and pushes the boundaries. But the great thing about neon nails is, you can wear jeans and a white t-shirt and still look phenomenal because your nails are the stars of the show.

Throw on a pair of neon-framed sunglasses or a neon necklace and you’re on the cutting edge.

Turned up purple

If you’re going to go purple, you really need to go purple this season. No simple, subdued purplish hues for you. Embrace it and do PURPLE out loud in all caps. Different shades of purple for each finger – of course! Purple on purple glitter over polish – give me more! This is the time to give your nails the royal treatment.

Muted naturals

If you must have a conservative color in your repertoire, consider a muted natural and then add some polka dots. Not a lot of dots, just one here and maybe one there. This look keeps you ahead of the curve, but maintains your professional side, too.

Nail trends that go beyond the polish

We’ve hit the colors for you, but you want more. That’s okay, we’ve got it. Embellish to your heart’s desire this season because excess is the best. Glitter, sequins, basically anything that shimmers and shines is on point.

Geometric shapes are a hot nail-art trend this season. We’ve already mentioned the polka dot revival above, but look for simple lines and shapes to add intrigue to your nails. If you’re bold enough to do it, divide your nails into geometric zones, and pop a neon color into each zone.

The length for nails this season is one or the other. You’re either taking them short and squared off, or you’re going for new lengths with a deadly looking point. Of course, most people will opt for something in the middle, but the trends swing high and low.

Smell it! That’s right, nail polish with scent is here, and it’s too cool to ignore. You simply must try the scented nail polish that’s making waves through the social stratosphere. One tip here, try it before you buy it. Some people absolutely love the scents, others find them a total no-go.

If you’re feeling like your nails can use a little love, you might want to try this super-healthy smoothie. It’ll get your nails, and hair, in top shape for spring.

Final thoughts

It’s all about unexpected this season so let your nails do the talking. Embrace your fun side, you deserve it. There’s no reason to break the bank buying trendy clothes that quickly go out of style when your nails are going to be the showstoppers this season anyway.

One accent nail was last year’s trend, so leave that behind and adopt a bolder color approach across your nails, do tip-to-bed color changes or a different color for each nail. Add a dash of glitter, a little scented polish, and geometric drama and you’re going to nail it this season!
