Daffodil Yellow

We first noticed the bloom-like shade making an appearance on the runways of fashion week (duh), and it’s slowly been taking over as the HCIC, Head Color in Charge. As for the tone, bolder is definitely better—you want to find an opaque, rich thickness.

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.

Cirque Colors Nail Polish in Extra ($14)

Ultra Violet

Meet Pantone’s choice for 2018 Color of the Year, and consider this the vibrant, exciting alternative to traditional spring pastels like lilac or dusty rose.

Côte Nail Polish in No. 79 ($18)

Soft Poppy

Just as you can never go wrong with an LBD, a classic red mani is always a safe bet. But while winter saw garnet and ruby jewel tones, spring is all about embracing a brighter, more delicate variety.

Context Nail Lacquer in Showstopper ($15)

Buffed Bare

Well, not totally bare, but refreshingly clean and clear nails are having a bit of a moment (probably because so many of us are in recovery mode after a few too many harsh gels and bedazzled nail art experiments).
