Spring 2026 sets the tone: bright, vibrant, subtly retro. On the podiums as well as at the fingertips, the colors oscillate between delicately nostalgic hues, pastel sweets and pop energy. The shades inspired by the sevenies, Eighties and Nineties, revisited in a contemporary and ultra desirable version. Decryption of the colors of the moment and nail trends to adopt without hesitation to leave winter and enjoy the beautiful days.
Season colours: between softness and energy
Playback Collection : nostalgia pop
Three new shades join our colorful fan this spring. Three colors, three decades, three moods, gathered in a Playback collection, to discover from 27 March 2026 Of varnish Green™ and semi-permanent varnish Green Flash™ also available in natural nail polish. Here is the score:
Spicy first, a vibrating red varnish with pink undertones That's as much as a 80s tube! Fabulous on short nails for a good effect Power chic. An emotional color that resonates with many models of the spring-summer 2026 collections, especially this Christopher Esber's structured dress.
Tangerine, then: one light orange which captures carelessness and solar energy from the nineties. As much as the Frost feather dress from Givenchy - I'm not. To wear in color block for a good and dynamic effect on a minimal locker room.
Last but not least: Nebula - I'm not. One milky white with holographic reflections, impregnated with groove and disco spirit of ventilated. A wise color in appearance, Milky nails, but whose metallic effects invite to the party. Even inspi Chanel with this silky dress we'd like to slip into to dance through the night.
With the Playback collection, reinvent the memories of yesterday to better color the present!

Contrast games : Night & Day
The opposition between dark blue and the sun's bright yellow or glittering white has hypnotic power, like a full moon dazzling at night. In this dynamic, three colors are required on your nails this season:
Navy Blue, one intense and magnetic marine blue, almost stormy blue, which captures the light without ever letting go of it.
Gold Button, one bold bright yellow, spotted on numerous SS26 parades, as at Akris, as radiant as a gold button field. A tint to find in version Green Flash™ from 10 April 2026.
Solar, one white iridescent and delicately pearly, chic and subtle, which radiates gently like the first lights of the sun at dawn.
Together or separately, these three embody vibrant colors, which do not go unnoticed. Contrast is the New chic!

Pastel Kiwi: sweet sewing
Each year, spring marks the return of delicate pastels And the 2026 palette is not eluded. Creamy light pink varnishes, powdered nudes or almond green, we let ourselves be seduced by this delicate and aerial pastel gradient that animates nail trends after winter. Our selection, in this spirit:
Pink Sand, one classic beige nude with a tip of apricot, a timeless essential that comes to sublimate all the carnations with a delicate velvet effect. To be discovered in Green Flash™ from 10 April 2026.
Pistachio, one soft green and vegetal varnish with subtle yellow reflections. A fresh and modern shade, perfect for awakening your most beautiful seasonal look, spotted during the Fashion Weeks Spring-Summer 2026, especially at Giambattista Valli.
Cream, one white off at once dense and wrapping who dresses a soft, milky veil. One of the super trendy colors of this year, very quiet luxury, to revisit the white varnish in a modern soft version.
A trio of pastel colours to wear in monochrome with glossy finish soap-nails, only in ultra-fine French micro or in nail art groove. Playful polished goal!
All the freshness of a spring garden in a bouquet of pastel nail colours.

Fizz, one purple varnish with magenta glare which instills a floral energy and asserts to your manicure. He captures the look and enthralles every move, as we notice with this mini dress in his clothes Balenciaga.
Candy, one pink pop candy, frank and addictive, which brings a sweet and daring touch to your Nails Spring.
Shell, one white shell, pure and architectural, which signs a manicure effect "clean nails" with discreet elegance.
A symphony of pop colors as delicious as a well-sounded milkshake.

Our ideas of nail art for brilliant nails
The arts nails of this spring are designed to be graphic, singular and (rather) easy to achieve. Here are our inspirations:
Blue & Orange Aura Nails
Set your nails with a intense blue base with Ultramarine tint. Draw a square on a sponge with Ultramarine and fill with Tangerine. Then tap your nails until you create a halo that goes from orange to blue. A vibrant and enchanting contrast.
Capture the vibe of these Blue & Orange nails with this tuto of the nail artist @lookthenails.
Orange Gradient Nails
Realize this gradient orange red nails implementing Tangerine base. Apply side by side on a clean sponge a line of Spicy and a line of Tangerine. Tap the centre of the nail to create a vertical gradient. Clean the overflows with the correcting pen and apply a top coat ultra-gloss for a brilliant finish. Effect sunset immediate!
Glazed Nails Temptation
Prepare your base of nail art with Tangerine and apply the powder on it White Glazed Powder. The rendering is super glossy and delicately pearly. A pastel and fun variation of the trend Glazed nails I'm from Hailey Bieber.
In Glazed Nails or Sunset gradient, there is an orange zest in the nail art trends of spring.
