While snow continues to fall and the temps steadily decline, many of us are already counting the days until the long winter season is over. If you’re not one to revel in the chilly weather, the best way to battle the winter blues is to look ahead to sunnier days. To give yourself a glimpse of spring in these dog days of winter, we’ve rounded up the best nail colors for your March manicure with help from the experts at Nailing Hollywood.

“In early to mid-March, pastel shades with soft gray undertones make it easy to shift from winter to spring colors,” the CEO of Nailing Hollywood, Mazz Hanna, explains. “The hint of gray keeps things cool while leaning toward warmer days ahead. By the end of March, it’s all about brighter pastels and bolder colors that match the feel of spring.” Ahead, we’ve curated a guide to the exact nail polish colors Hanna recommends for transitioning to spring.

Denim Blue

If bright florals and pastels aren’t your style, try a deeper denim blue for your March manicure. It’s a great way to lighten up without going too bold.
