We've been in spring mode since mid-February (wishful thinking), but the season is officially here now, making this the perfect time to de-winter your toes and treat them to a splash of springlike colour.
While one could argue that most pastels, from petal pink to powder blue, are timeless pedicure colours for spring, we also tend to see a rise in neutral pedicure looks just before sandal season rolls around. Taupe, coffee, and baked 'setting plaster' type tones all feel like the perfect transition away from winter when we're not quite ready for summer brights.
If it's been a while since you last booked a pedi or painted at home, it can feel daunting to pick your first spring pedicure shade - but we can help with that. Our beauty team has asked nail artists what the most flattering and chic seasonal shades will be, with options for every taste and skin tone.

7 chic spring pedicure colours to try
According to celebrity manicurist and senior Mylee ambassador, Tinu Bello, three pastel shades, in particular, are in high demand for spring. "We've seen a shift toward soft lilacs, creamy blush pinks, and pistachio greens. These shades feel elevated but still bring that seasonal pop of colour."
Warm-toned neutrals are also set to be big news, according to Annabelle Taurua, expert at nail booking platform Fresha, who predicts that, "going into Spring 2026, we’re going to see a mixture of warm nudes in matte or milky finishes."
Bello also notes that there's been a rise in tonal polish, with "people matching their mani and pedi in variations of the same pastel family for a super put-together look." This is something we've spotted with Victoria Beckham's mani-pedi in her matching, signature pink - a timeless and flattering choice.
1. Baked neutrals
Neutrals on toes can look a little bit too subtle, too toe-like, as it were. Plus, paler tones don't always flatter feet that haven't seen the sun in a good few months, but 'baked' neutrals have a flattering warmth that works particularly well on deeper skins. Think Farrow & Ball Setting Plaster, but for your feet! According to celebrity manicurist and ORLY ambassador Queenie Nguyen "Healthy-looking blurring nudes will be big this year, with pink-beige, peachy, and milky neutrals that enhance the natural nail."
2. Pistachio green
A-list Manicurist, Tinu Bello, tells us that pistachio-green has gotten a lot of requests this spring, making it a great option to round off the season with. It's bright but creamy, which adds to its wearability. Plus, with summer's fashion and fragrance trends also set to feature themes of matcha and mint green, the popularity of this particular pedicure look is likely to endure well into the warmer months, too.
3. Blush pink
With cherry blossom nails topping the spring trends, adding a matching pop of blush or petal-pink to your toenails is a very sensible and chic choice.
4. Cool lilac
As mentioned, lilac and lavender shades have also been in high demand (even among nail artists), so this is another great option for your final springtime pedicure. As a cooler-toned pastel colour, this will suit those with cooler undertones in their skin, it also looks gorgeous with a butter yellow outfit.
5. French tips
This is a bit of a divisive one, but if you like a timeless look that will seamlessly transition from spring to summer, a French tip pedicure (with a sheer pink base colour and fresh white tip) is the way to go. Using an opaque, neutral base colour that smooths over any ridges in the nails is the best way to keep this look clean and classy-looking.
6. Milky pink
,Surprise, surprise - a sheer, milky pink is making an appearance on this list. It's versatile and timeless but if you ask us, its delicate, creamy finish always feels most on-theme for spring.
7. Powder-blue
Blue nails sound a little bit 'out there', but as the popularity of blue French tip nails proves, it's all about how you wear this colour. Pick cooler-toned blues for a less statement, more springlike feel. Soft, sky blues like this are surprisingly wearable when paired with a short, straight-edged nail.
