Pastels aren't the only spring-appropriate nail shades! If you're looking to give your mani a new twist, we're rounding up the best unexpected nail colors. From murky greens to dusky pinks, these colors weren't your average choice for a mani, until now!
Unexpected Nail Colors We Love for Spring
Stand out with these unconventional nail shades! You might be surprised by how perfect they are for the season.
Neutral Greens
Unlike traditionally bright seasonal choices, these are more muted tones of green that feel lived-in and elegant while keeping an earthy, grounded look.
Off-Beat Purple Tones
Unlike the lavender and lilac shades we've been obsessing over in early spring, these purple shades are a little more unconventional. Just take duo-chromes that journey from green to pink to soft purple—these feel festival-appropriate and a little alien, in the best way.
Swampcore
You might consider these nail polish shades "ugly." We consider them under-loved. These dark, murky tones are a bold neutral, especially in a pastel season.
Earthy Browns
These grounded shades are forever neutrals and work beautifully no matter the season.
Almost Pink
There's something so understated and elegant about these dusky pink shades. Rather than the sheer soap nails trend or the more pastel approach that you might think of in spring, these shades incorporate subtle purple, gray and even brown tones to create a more subdued look.
