5 Nail Colours You’re Going to See Everywhere This April

April is here, our trench coats are out, and so too is a whole host of spring-leaning beauty trends. This transitional period before the dresses and sandals officially take over our wardrobe can feel hard to navigate fashion-wise, but when it comes to beauty it’s the perfect moment to try something new or opt for an effective yet simple seasonal change like switching up your nail colour.

Chic nail art has undoubtedly reigned supreme over the past few years, but if you are looking for a key colour (or base for nail art) to try as your April nail selection, there are plenty of bold options to choose from. From cool blue and gentle rose golds that glisten in different lights to deep browns and high-shine glitters favoured by celebrity nail artists like Holly Falcone there are so many pretty nail colours to choose from ahead of your April manicure appointment.

Scroll on to discover the five nail colours you’re sure to see everywhere this month, as well as the products you can shop now to help get the look at home.

What better way to (hopefully) ring in a month filled with bright, sunny blue skies than a classic baby blue polish? This shade looks amazing on any skin tone and can be worn in a variety of ways making it perfect for under floral nail art or as all over colour.For best results finish with a gel coat for at home mani that rivals salons.

Cool blue make for the best base for 3D designs. Think florals for spring that actually are groundbreaking.

If clear skies are your nail inspiration this April, the aptly named Santorini from cult nail brand Nailberry has you covered.

If you’re going to do light blue, you might as well go all out with a calming yet shade like this, right?

Bright pastels might be the go-to for most of us looking for April nail colours, however if you find yourself feeling stuck somewhere between bold yellows and trends like the lip oil manicure, then maybe a deep brown is about to become your go-to.

With celebrity nail connoisseurs like HarrietWestmorland are also choosing to pick up the brown brush and with seemingly endless nail art options (cc: the art deco-inspired look from BrownHandGirl below) it looks like deep chocolate hues are here to stay.

Keeping things earthy doesn’t have to stop at choosing a warm brown nail laquer thanks to this vegan option from Nails Inc. It’s my current favourite nail kit staple.

For a tonal take on the April nail colour trend, try opting for a brown hues gradient.

Nothing says next-level luxe manicurethan a set of high-shine glittery nails. This April why not try a chunky glitter as a way to elevate your standard manicure. The finish colour sits comfortably between a nude manicure and the all-over glitters beloved for their ability to create the illusion of multicoloured hues thanks to how they bounce the light.

My personal favourite this month? Window-like manicures, with almost individualised glitter flecks that look as though they were placed one at a time. It’s a bit of pizzazz, but in almost a quarter of the time a detail-oriented nail art appointment. What’s not to love?

This colour is enough to make anyone want to party and as it’s my birthday month – a moment of silence for all Aries – Sign me up.

More of a one-colour mani person but don’t want to miss out on the glittery fun? Don’t worry, Opi’s golden offering have you covered.

Yellow can often feel like the most unapproachable of the nail polish colours due to its boldness. Nevertheless, this April, yellow in all its hues is finally having its long overdue moment in the sun. Pun intended.

If you are usually a nude and muted tone nail lover, don’t let initial assumptions about the colour sway you, as thanks to a mix of minimalist and subdued shades of yellow it is actually one of the most versatile colour options out there. Want a Mini Egg-inspired mani? Try a yellow base. Pastel pink is not quite your colour? Pastel yellows is where it’s at.

Chartreuse: The yellow-green or greenish-yellow colour that you probably haven’t heard of despite it’s ability as both a nail or wall paint to turn any frown upside down.

A classic canary yellow is always a good idea.

After Beyonce’s renaissance dropped our brain chemistry was well and truly altered, but aside from the music for me one of the most profound impacts of the album was its celebration of all that shimmers. And the nail ode to this? Rose gold nails.
