How to Get the Spring Pastel Nail Look
With the right products and techniques, achieving this fresh look at home or with your nail tech is easy.
Here’s the best way to get the perfect pastel nails:
Prep Your Nails– Start with nail polish remover to clean off any old polish, then shape your nails into a short or natural shape. Use an orangewood stick to push back cuticles for that pristine cuticle look.
Hydrate & Protect– Apply cuticle oil and hand cream to keep your nails looking healthy and nourished. A solid foundation is key to achieving that healthy shine. Add your good-quality base coat and let it dry.
Thin Layers of Polish– Look for pastel shades of polish like this GAOY pastel nail polish set. Apply thin coats for a soft, even finish.
High-Shine Finish– The fun part is sealing it all with a high-shine top coat to create that spring pastel look. This will give your nails a glossy finish, enhancing the subtle pastel colours, depending on your preferred look.
Clean Up & Moisturise– Use an orangewood stick dipped in nail polish remover to clean excess polish.
Daily TLC– Apply another layer of hand cream for that perfect example of a good manicure, and bonus points if you reapply cuticle oil daily to maintain that fresh look.
Pastel Colors are The Essence of Spring
March is all about soft pastels—think pink shades, blue nails, and green nails that reflect the arrival of spring. These colors are popular this time of year, complementing every skin tone and adding a playful nod to the season.
I love to add an extra pop, pair my pastels with a glossy top coat, and sometimes mix in floral patterns for a spring flower vibe.
French Tips with a Pastel Twist
If you love french tips, March is the perfect way to give them a spring update. Swap traditional white tips for green shades (a subtle nod to St. Patrick’s Day) or opt for pink nails with a swirling pattern for a touch of elegance.
Sage Green Nails
Sage green is a must-try nail color for March 2025. It’s fresh, subtle, and perfect for transitioning into spring. These designs will inspire your next manicure.
Don’t Forget St. Patrick’s Day
Of course, March wouldn’t be complete without a nod to St. Patrick’s Day! From playful shamrocks to lucky charms, there are so many ways to celebrate with your nails. A simple ring finger accent or a full set of green nails can keep your nails festive while staying classy.
March is the time of year for fresh starts, spring nail trends, and embracing the spring vibes.
Are you inspired by spring florals, and bright colors, or just want a simple pop of color? I bet your nail tech or favorite nail artist can help you find the right look.
