Sandal Weather Is Upon Us—These Are the 6 Nail Colours to Bookmark for Your Toes This Spring

Spring is that confusing in-between season where you can be wearing boots and a thick coat one day then sandals and a light jacket the next. While so far, we've experienced a lot more of the former than the latter, I live by the motto "always be prepared", and so last week I booked in for my first pedicure of the season. With my feet prepped and toes painted, I'm officially ready for spring and, and I'm prepped to embrace sandal season in all its glory.

If you too are preparing to pack away your winter boots and replace them with some lighter or open-toed footwear, then you're probably on the hunt for some colour inspiration. Fortunately, you're in the right place—while spring nail trends have been aplenty, there are also some very chic spring pedicure colours to choose from this year, and I've compiled the best below.

1. Chocolate Brown

Okay, I know what you're thinking, brown doesn't seem like an obvious choice for a spring pedicure colour, right? The thing is, chocolate brown is trending everywhere—beauty, fashion, interiors, you name it—and it doesn't look like the trend is disappearing any time soon, not least because it's spring. Of course, the great thing about brown is that it's a neutral and therefore goes with everything, making it a practical and chic pedicure colour choice to start the year with.

2. Soft Pink

Whether you wear it alone or with a French tip, a soft pink is always a classic pedicure colour for spring. It works for every skin tone, and therefore, is practically a neutral, unlikely to clash with any outfit or footwear choice.

3. Lilac

It wouldn't be a spring pedicure colour roundup without a pop pf pastel, would it? This year I'm calling that lilac will be the muted hue of the season, and it's a versatile one, working well with greens, reds and pinks. If you don't normally wear colours, opt for a pale, cool-toned lilac like this one—it feels grown up and sophisticated.

4. Classic Red

I truly believe that a red pedicure works well for every season, but while a deep red lends itself to the autumn and winter months, and a warm red works well for summer pedicures, a cool-toned red is perfect for spring. Timeless and classic but still fun and eye-catching, there's something about a red pedicure that really does put a spring in my step (pun fully intended).

5. Milky White

Milky colours are trending in manicures, so it only makes sense that they're set to be just as popular for pedicures this spring. If you're wondering which colour I opted for for my first spring pedicure of 2025, this is it—I love a light shade for a clean, fresh look.

6. Candy Colours

Can't choose a colour? Choose them all. I love a mixed colour pedicure, but actually, opting for French tips rather than block colours looks more sophisticated and luxurious. Paired with a neutral base and a high shine finish, the result is still playful and fun while nodding to classic spring hues.
