If you were to ask us which, of all the 2025 nail trends, was proving the most popular, "sheer pink" would be out of our mouths before you'd even said trends. This sort of soapy shade is a timeless and very versatile option, so it's not hard to see why it's so in demand - and there are so many chic and affordable sheer nail polishes around, from Essie's Matter Of Fiction to OPI's Bubble Bath. Alas, there is such a thing as too much. Sometimes, you want your manicure to have a bit more oomph and impact, especially when the sun's out.

Thankfully, we've found a chic alternative, which isn't a far cry from the popular milky-pinks we've been seeing (in case you aren't fatigued with the look) but does offer more of a pastel pop for spring.

As spring nail colours go, pastel pink - in all its iterations - is way up there and for good reason. After all, a cool, creamy pink goes with every outfit and nail shape. Still, sometimes it's nice to reflect the season in your manicure and thus opt for something a little brighter.
