You bought yourself a statement trench coat, studied up on the new ‘it’ bags and even picked up a few crystal-infused beauty products to try. Now it’s time to give your nails the spring update they deserve. Luckily, any one of these five nail-polish colors will guarantee you have the hottest mani in the room.
The 5 Trendiest Nail Polish Colors for Saying ‘Bring It, Spring’
Daffodil Yellow

Safety Orange
We’re calling it: Safety orange is the new millennial pink. OK, maybe it isn’t so far reaching yet, but the traffic-stopping hue is definitely one of the most fun ways to celebrate rising temperatures. Bonus: Shades of orange help even the most sun-deprived hands achieve a sun-kissed glow.
Ultra Violet

Buffed Bare
