Winter is officially over, and that means it's time to show off your toes and break out the open-toe heels. Spring pedicures equate to a fresh pop of color and a welcome departure from winter's dark purples, blues, and grays. According to Nails.INC founder Thea Green, spring nail polish shades lean towards light, bright, and playful colors. This spring, trending pedicure colors consist of some of the expected hues, such as babydoll pink and bright cherry red. But some unexpected shade twists will also be in the mix, including mossy greens, chrome metallics, and mocha mousse.

If you’re ready to start your spring pedicure color Pinterest board and be fully loaded with a rainbow of color choices, then you are in the right place. Below, find the top 10 spring pedicure shades according to experts.

01 of 10
Butter Yellow
Pastel shades of creamy yellow were the nail color du jour last spring and this season, the color is back and even better than ever. With more of a creamy finish, butter yellow nail polish works across the board for all skin tones, says Green. “The soft, creamy shade of yellow mimics spring sunshine and daffodils, bringing warmth to pedicures. It’s a fresh alternative to pastels without being too bold.”

Metallic Hues
An easy way to transition from winter glam pedicures to ones with more springtime shimmer is by painting on a metallic hue—specifically cool tones of silver and warm shades of gold. "Metallic nail polish worn on the toes is a trendy yet glam look," says De Los Santos. Choose silver to suit cool tones and gold to flatter warm tones.

Peachy Pink
Warm, fresh shades of peach are perfectly fitting for a springtime pedicure. "It's a fantastic color for warm and neutral undertones, but you can find one that's universal enough for all," says celebrity manicurist Elle Gerstein. Whether you choose a bright coral hue or a more subdued nude tone, the shade flatters all skin tones without being too much of an attention grabber. Plus, peach is the perfect backdrop color if you want to add a bit of floral nail art to the pedicure. "I also love adding glitter and shimmer to peach polish, which gives another dimension to it," she adds.

Earthy Greens
Mossy green, muted sage, and shades of olive are all anticipated to be popular go-to colors for spring pedicures. In her expert opinion, Green shares that more nature-inspired colors are trending and even replacing traditional spring pastels because they give a more grounded, modern aesthetic. "Sage and muted green colors are soft and flattering, whereas rich olives and khaki-colored toes add warmth to the skin," she explains.

Pearlized Nudes
The viral glazed donut look is making its way off fingernails and onto toenails this spring. To achieve the signature shiny finish, pair a neutral base with a shimmery polish or a dusting of chrome powder. According to Green, this unique take on the soap nail trend offers a soft, luminescent look that feels natural and luxurious. The key to pulling off pearlized nudes that don't read yellow is to look for soft colors with a bit of a creaminess to them.

06 of 10
Mocha Mousse
It's no surprise that warm shades of mocha brown continue to reign supreme this season. Brown is an easy transition color from a winter pedicure to a spring one. De Los Santos adds that the creamy mocha mousse color is a chic yet earthy option with a neutral feel for a grounded look. "It's an extremely flattering color on medium to deep skin tones," she adds.

Muted Whites
Every take on white polish, from creamy marshmallow to sheer milky whites, is having a major moment this spring. Trade the typical bright white pedicure for something softer and more timeless. "Off-whites and cream whites create blank canvases for artwork, but really, they go with everything and serve as a statement," says Gerstein. "It also pairs well with hot pink and gold for an amazing color combination."

Playful Reds
Red toenails work year-round as long as you wear the right shade for the right season. Green says that a classic, bright red polish makes the perfect statement for spring. "Go with more playful shades like a cool, blue-red, which always looks crisp, a warm poppy, or coral-red rather than a deep hue, which is better suited for winter," she explains. Just make sure the finish is extra glossy.

09 of 10
Neon Shades
For a super bright, energetic pedicure to usher in spring, look no further than a classic neon color like bright pink, electric orange, and vibrant blue. Gerstein says that these fun colors, which can be worn as traditional nail polish or with a jelly finish, make a bold statement and work for any skin tone. "They also lend themselves to designs featuring negative space, isolated chromes, tie-dye, and swirls," she says. "Which are all trending for spring."

Babydoll Pink
Soft, feminine, barely-there pinks are trending for pedicures this spring, offering a classic look that never goes out of style. "These pretty pinks are girly and sweet," says De La Sorta. "They're also the perfect, classic spring pastel hue, especially since many spring pedicures incorporate softer colors and light pinks."
