While the weather hasn’t quite gotten the memo where I live, spring is knocking on the door. Unfortunately, I can’t control the blizzard raging outside while I dream of those covetable light-sweater March days—but I can welcome spring in the best way I know how: with a fabulous manicure. Gone are the days of leaning into OPI’s moody winter shades like Lincoln Park After Dark. This time of year, I want my mood lifted every time I look down at my hands. If you’re not sure where to start with OPI’s seemingly endless catalog, don’t worry. I’ve researched for you. From butter yellows to soft pastels and fresh nudes, these OPI spring nail polish colors are guaranteed to bring the warmth.

3. Makeout-side
As much as I love a sheer pink nail polish, this OPI color is so good that it will have me reaching for bright, opaque pinks all spring long. Turns out OPI hot pink is the new pink!
4. Bikini Boardroom
This OPI spring nail polish takes lavender nail polish and gives it a chic, elevated twist. Lavender is already gorgeous, but add some shimmer? And you’ll wear it on repeat this season.
5. Surf Naked
If you don’t typically opt for bold colors but want to dabble in some statement spring nails, this sheer OPI blue is perfect. Its gorgeous pearl sheen conjures visions of seaside spring breaks and clear blue skies.

It’s not spring without at least one coral manicure, and this OPI coral nail polish is the absolute perfect one. Not too bright, but definitely not subtle either, it works for all of your spring adventures.

7. Lucky Lucky Lavender
There’s something so calming about a soft lavender manicure, especially when your spring schedule gets overwhelming. Whether you’re jetsetting across the world or it’s busy season at work, this manicure will provide you with a nice, deep breath.
8. Aphrodite’s Pink Nightie
Sheer and milky pinks never go out of style, and this OPI nail polish puts a modern twist on a classic with a light shimmer. I mean, a shade named after the goddess of love and beauty? It has to be a good sign.
9. AppointMINT Confirmed
If mint green nail polish takes you back to the days of chevron and monograms, you’re clearly reaching for the wrong shades. AppointMINT Confirmed will prove just how good a modern mint green can look.
10. Blinded by the Ring Light
Butter yellow may have been trending a few years ago, but it’s still going triple platinum in my house. Blinded by the Ring Light is one of the best pastel OPI shades.
11. Data Peach
Finding the perfect neutral nail polish for spring can feel tricky because everything just feels a little too drab when you’re ready to do away with greys and nudes. This neutral peach polish is perfect because it has a dash more color than your typical nude (plus some shimmer) while still matching any outfits you wear.
12. $elf Made
There is no better moment than when the snow melts, the ice finally thaws, and spring starts to emerge with green everywhere. If you want to give the weather a little nudge, this green polish is the perfect way to manifest those new blooms.

How to Make Your Spring Manicure Last Longer
With the right nail prep, your spring OPI manicure can last far longer than a week. Starting with clean, dry nails is key. First, trim and shape your nails with a nail file, and if you want to go the extra mile, push back and trim your cuticles. Once you’re ready to paint, start with a base coat or nail strengthener to protect and treat your nails, then apply two to three coats of polish. After that dries, finish with a top coat and some cuticle oil. It may take a few extra minutes, but proper nail prep is essential for a long-lasting spring manicure.
