Sold out! Ugh, so apparently the spring nail polish colors from Chanel, Hermes and Dior were so popular, they sold out! But never fear, I am here!

I have found fabulous alternatives to these three nail polishes for the spring 2026 season so you can still rock the latest spring 2026 nail polish trends without stressing over finding the exact bottle from one of these three designer brands.

The hottest nail polish color trends for spring 2026 include mint nail polish, shades of blue nail polish, and rust nail polish. These are fabulous colors which can be worn daily, or on and off for fun. So, without further ado, here are some amazing nail polishes in hottest colors of the spring 2026, assembled into the shopping widget below.

So, what do you think of these nail polish trends for spring 2026? Which color is your favorite for the spring season?

Thanks for stopping by! Summer nail polish will be here soon, and we will still be seeing shades of blue, pink, green and rust! There might be a few new surprises too, so stay tuned!

Barrel jeans at the beach

Well, that was a heat wave! What better place to hide from ninety-degree weather in March than the Beach Chalet in San Francisco! I had to go to the city for a meeting anyway, so enjoying a peaceful lunch at the Beach Chalet was a no brainer.

The temperatures rose to the low eighties in the city, but I was still comfortable in jeans and a knit top since we went out to Ocean Beach after our meeting. It was the perfect outfit for a warm spring day in the city. Love!

At the Beach Chalet, they gave us a fabulous table next to the window where we could enjoy the view of the ocean. It was peaceful and relaxing. Something I need right now!

I enjoyed the Mahi Mahi, which might be my new favorite menu item. It was delicious! I also enjoyed their calamari, which we ate as an appetizer, of course!

If you are local to the Bay Area, or plan to visit, be sure to stop into Beach Chalet for a meal. It is a rare, beachside restaurant in the city packed with history, ambiance, and delicious food. One of my favorite places to eat!

BAF Weekly IT List

Spring is in full swing! While neutral hues and classic items are hotter than hot, pops of color are quickly gaining momentum.

When it comes to spring nail polish, it’s selling like hot cakes! Hermes, Chanel, and Dior are already sold out, so I linked alternatives above which are right on trend and perfect for spring. Don’t worry, Dior’s summer nail polish collection is coming in April, and I will keep you posted when it arrives! There are two colors and they are pretty! Love!

As we move into the spring season, pearl jewelry, the anonymous handbag, woven leather, and nostalgia for the 1990s and early 2000s continue to influence social media and how we dress. So, don’t forget to pull out those old IT bags and wear them! The sidewalk is your runway, and the early 2000s paparazzi is following you. Show off your Balenciaga Le City bag, Fendy Spy, Chloe Marcie, Chloe Paraty, Fendi Baguette, and more!

Also, what are we thinking about Rockstuds returning? It will be interesting to see if everyone pulls them back out when “The Devil Wears Prada 2” premieres in May. Dust yours off, you might want to rock them soon!

Thanks for stopping by, and stay tuned for more spring coverage!
