10 March Nail Colors to Inspire Your First Spring Manicure

Getting ready to pluck your next nail color from a spectrum of hues? If you’re not sure which way to venture on the color wheel, you can always lean into the latest and greatest hues surging in popularity. To help inspire your next mani, we’re showcasing the biggest March nail color trends below, which have made appearances everywhere from social media to the runway to the red carpet. Some are still very much tied into the moody winter palette while others are hopefully veering toward springish charm, so take your pick! 

1. Powder Blue 

Cheery pastel hues are on the rise as we start looking toward spring, which officially starts on the 20th. Soft powder blue is a perfect pick, as it ties the wintry weather vibes with warmer weather that’s inevitably heading into the forecast. 

2. Champagne

There’s so much to celebrate in March—like the advent of spring and —so bring on a little bubbly energy with some chic champagne nails. This neutral pairs with everything in your closet but still feels like a celebration. 

3. Blue Chrome Aura 

For a different spin on blue nails, tap into a midwinter aesthetic via a deep blue chrome manicure and give it an aura twist. This trending March nail color is bold, sophisticated, and definitely going to turn heads. 

4. Creamy Brown

The mocha mousse trend continues showing up in every dimension, including in small places like your nails. Whether you’re going for more of an oat milk latte hue or a deep chocolate mocha, creamy brown nails remain a top nail color in March. 

5. Merlot Mani

Along with subdued hues like dark blue and shades of brown, merlot is taking off in a big way this month. We’ve seen Selena Gomez wear it with a sparkling topcoat, and social media loves to give it the magnetic nails effect with a super glossy finish. Feeling contrarian? Make it matte. 

6. Lucky Green

It wouldn’t be a March nail color trend roundup without some lucky green thrown into the mix! To lean into the St. Patrick’s Day vibes, keep your green polish bright and cheery—like a four leaf clover—versus dark and moody like the forest. 

7. Pink Chrombre

Pink remains a nail color trend in March thanks to excitement over warmer temps, V-Day hangover, and a general proclivity toward all things girly. Make a real statement by going with a splashy chrombre (ombre-meets-chrome).

8. Peachy Pink

For a less “in your face” pink moment this month, paint on a peachy pink nail polish. It’s still super feminine but feels more muted. Make this mani extra fun by adding nail art and charms—like the sweet flowers seen here. This is a trend we saw take off during New York Fashion Week. 

9. Mirror Nails

Glass nails and mirror nails are another big trend in 2025, so go ahead and hop on that speeding train. For a mirror effect, lean on silver shimmer, chrome, and cat eye finishes that give the illusion of a looking glass. 

10. Purple Chrome

Another pastel that’s starting to pop up in March is purple, and right now it’s super trendy to give it a sheer wash of chrome goodness. This one pulls in shades of effervescent pink, but you could also try a topcoat that leans more blue or one that dips into golden-y tones.
