Spring manicure ideas 2025

Spring manicure ideas: mint green nail polish / blue sparkling top coat / pink nail polish /

There is nothing like a good top coat! Not only does a top coat make your manicure last longer, it can add a little something special to the overall look. Love that!

For the spring 2025 season, Dior has given us an unexpected top coat. Normally when a top coat isn’t a plain ‘ol clear coat, it is a glittering, sheer polish. This spring, Dior has given us a slightly opaque, blue top coat which adds a slightly different look to our nail polish. Love this!

Dior paired their blue top coat with a classic pink nail polish. Of course it looks fabulous! Since I like to play with Dior’s seasonal top coats, I decided to try it on other spring nail polishes. I found it looks good on cool colors in the blue and pink family. It did not play well with nail polish in the orange, red or brown family. So, I photographed the best alternative to pink, was mint green! Love!

You can see in the photos, the blue top coat over the mint green nail polish from Chanel’s spring nail polish collection. My photos do not do the blue top coat justice. It looks really cool in person. It’s an understated addition to the nail polish which not only does your standard top coat job of making the manicure stronger, it adds a slightly blue sheen to the look. I am here for it!

So, if you want to level up your pink or green manicure this spring season, I recommend adding this sheer blue top coat to your nail polish collection. It is also a way to update your nail polish from another season and create multiple fresh looks instead of buying a bunch of new bottles this season.

What do you think of a sheer, blue top coat this spring season?

It is almost officially spring! This means we need to make sure we all have our spring wardrobe ready to go! The anonymous handbag and spring nail polish is the easiest way to add some spring vibes to our wardrobes while the weather is still on the chilly side. Also loving long sleeve spring tops and spring knit tops. They offer a spring vibe yet still keep us warm. Love that!

Shades of mocha and pastels are hot this spring season. Keep mixing your mocha hues and pastels. Pale pink is on the rise, so pull it out of storage or feel free to invest in the color. By the fall season, it will be huge!

Keep wearing your suede. This soft and fuzzy leather is no longer just for fall. In 2025, suede is the IT fabrication of the year. You will find it on footwear, handbags, and outerwear. Just make sure you check the weather report before wearing your suede pieces outside. Rain is not your friend.

Classic navy for spring

wearing: statement earrings / stripe top c/o Clara Sunwoo (use code CATHY10) / gemstone bracelets / nail polish / navy pants c/o Clara Sunwoo (use code CATHY10) / belted tote bag / suede high heels /

Spring is here! This means we all need pieces in our wardrobes which can be worn to the office, that we can pack nicely for travel, and we can mix and match for dinner and occasions when we don’t want to wear jeans. That’s why I am loving Clara Sunwoo’s spring collection!

This navy stripe top can easily be worn to the office, paired with pants or a skirt. It also looks fabulous on weekends paired with jeans, a denim skirt or casual skirt. It also happens to pack nicely for travel without wrinkling. Love that!

Same with these navy pants! They can be worn to the office, dinner, special events, and they can also be worn casually on weekends with sandals or flip flops. Love that!

I wore this outfit out to dinner, but it is also perfect for the office as well as travel. Love it!

There are so many amazing pieces which can easily be mixed and matched at ClaraSunwoo.com. Use code CATHY10 to save on your purchase!

Thanks for stopping by!
