Spring
Try clear pastels, soft green, and warm pink. A sheer finish can keep bright shades light.

Seasonal Nail Color Palette Guide
A practical set of seasonal starting points. Personal preference, undertone, finish, lighting, and the nail product itself all change how a color looks, so use swatches before committing.
Summer
Coral, aqua, and sunny yellow can work as full-color or small accent choices.

Choose by undertone and contrast
Warm undertones often pair comfortably with orange-red, coral, olive, and gold-leaning shades. Cool undertones can pair well with blue-red, berry, blue-gray, and silver-leaning shades. These are suggestions, not rules: compare a small swatch next to your skin in daylight.
Consider the finish too. A sheer or jelly formula changes the apparent color, while a matte or opaque finish can increase contrast. Product photos and display settings are not a substitute for a physical swatch.
Avoid universal claims
No color is guaranteed to flatter every person or make teeth look whiter. Lighting, neighboring colors, and the exact polish formula matter. Choose the result you enjoy and test it before a special event.
