10 Spring Nail Polish Combos That Take the Guesswork Out of Mani-Pedis

It’s hard enough choosing one color we like, let alone two that coordinate oh so perfectly. Which is why we’ve put together this handy guide ahead of your next mani pedi so you can go in prepared. Polish wall, we’re coming for you.

Here's the Real Reason Your Nails Are Always Chipping


Caramel + Coral

Are nude and red your go-to colors? Give them a subtle upgrade with a creamy caramel and pop of coral instead.

Get the look: Veque in “Bare” ($18); Essie in “Peach Daquiri” ($9)

Pale Blue + Cobalt Blue

The nail polish combo that never fails to put us in a calmer state? A dreamy blue on our tips and a vibrant blue on our toes.

Get the look: Olive and June in "Barrett" ($8); YSL in "Bleu Majorelle" ($28)

Candy Red + Hot Pink

Fair-complexioned friends: Until you get your base tan, bold shades in warm hues will brighten up your skin.

Get the look: OPI in "Big Apple Red" ($13); Base Coat in “Treat Yo Self” ($18)

Khaki + Burnt Orange

For medium to olive skin, a muted green and pop of orange are interchangeable and unexpectedly chic.

Get the look: Deborah Lippmann in "Lost in a Dream" ($20); Smith & Cult in “Tang Bang” ($18)

Lavender + Navy Blue

And if you have a deeper skin tone, a soft lilac on your nails and a crisp dark blue on your toes will create the perfect contrast (both to each other and against your complexion).

Get the look: Zoya in "Marley" ($10); Essie in “After School Boy Blazer” ($9)

Pale Green + Dusty Pink

The ultimate spring combo? A fresh minty green and rosy pink to anchor the look.

Get the look: Sundays in “Mild Mint” ($18); Morgan Taylor in "I Feel Flower-Ful" ($9)

White + Metallic

For those of you who prefer to make a statement with your nails.

Get the look: Sundays in “Opaque Snow White” ($18); ILNP Linear Holographic Polish ($10)

Yellow + Slate Gray

Sunny, but cool like a perfect spring day.

Get the look: China Glaze in "Lemon Fizz" ($7); Butter London in “Ta Ta” ($18)

Peach + Ice Blue

Opposites attract: When in doubt, pair a pale blue pedicure with a soft peach mani.

Get the look: Essie in "Peach Side Babe" ($9); Chanel Le Vernis in “Bleu Pastel” ($28)
