After a long, cold winter of thick socks and sturdy boots, our toes are ready to feel the sun on their skin again. Time to break out the sandals! But first, easing into this transition calls for a little self-care, including, perhaps, a seasonal pedicure to prep our tootsies and breathe new life into our nails. After all, is there any better time for a nail art refresh than when spring comes a-knocking?

Happily, we're faced with no shortage of pedicure inspo this year. While there are some outdated nail trends to leave in the past, 2025 is ready to deliver with updated ones, especially when it comes to glorious color palettes. From timeless neutrals and grounding earth tones to energetic red polishes, certain nail colors are redefining pedicures this spring.

For the less-is-more crowd, your go-to pedicure for spring 2025 is all about classic spring hues like pastels and nudes. Baby blue and butter yellow are enduring favorites right now, but we're particularly excited for one of the season's hottest shades: juicy peach. This soft, creamy orange is perfect for any finish, from dusky matte nails to a glossy sheer pedicure. You can also branch out into other familiar pastels. Opting for gentle, desaturated colors like lavender, mint, and powder pink may not feel like a new style breakthrough, but that's not always the point — this year, we're instead seeing fun and fresh ways to utilize the season's iconic shades. For instance, hopping on the current trend of colorful French tip pedicures lets you hint at your pastel (or pastels) of choice without going full Easter egg.

Meanwhile, neutrals continue to provide a chic and understated look that's effective all year long. To put a springy twist on the look, try opting for subtly warmer colors — choose a luxurious cream over a stark, icy white, or pick a barely blush beige to capture the still-popular soap nails look beloved by clean girls. With their tidy versatility, soap nails have retained their crown from 2024 and remain a top pedicure option this season.

For richer, earthier nudes that still capture spring-appropriate vibes, Pantone's color of the year, mocha mousse, is one of the nail colors you'll see everywhere in 2025. Pantone describes this pick as "a warming, brown hue" that "nurtures us with its suggestion of the delectable qualities of chocolate and coffee, answering our desire for comfort." Think the inviting shade of a perfectly mixed latte. To get this look at home, try polishes like Essie's Mismatch to Match Nail Polish or Olive & June's Long-Lasting Nail Polish in Shacket.

Looking for something a little more vibrant to shake off the winter blues? In contrast to pastels, you might expect this season's bolder it-colors to take a neon route. But in 2025, the spring lineup includes some more unexpected contenders: namely, mossy greens and bright reds.

From subtle sage and tawny olive to the grassiness of matcha, greens capture the budding energy of spring in a way that's surprising, chic, and fashion-forward. This is extra good news for millennials, as soothing greens are some of the best nail colors for women in their 30s. When picking greens for spring, warm undertones are still the rule of the day, but for pedicures, don't lean too yellow — you want the final effect to look earthy, not fungal. Regardless, overly bright greens like chartreuse will lose some of the leafy, mysterious depth we're looking for in 2025.

As for spring-ready reds, the key is in the mood. Dark reds tend to evoke colder climes, but shades of cheery cherry and bright poppy are perfect for warm weather. To keep things seasonal, consider sunny, orange-leaning reds like OPI's Cajun Shrimp Nail Lacquer, which is billed as "a spicy shade of coral." Whatever color you pick, it should feel jazzy and high-energy — if it's heavy or moody, it's probably too dark for spring. And to complete the look, a glossy finish is a surefire win for any red pedicure.
