The spring and summer is when we can really enjoy a cheerful or vivid nail polish. The flowers are blooming, our fashion, shoes, and handbags all shift into pastels and bright colors, so why shouldn’t our nails?

In case you’re wondering if non-traditional nail colors work on women over 50, we are here to say that women of all ages are rejoicing over being released from the monotony of pink and red polishes. No longer are women’s nails about what we’re saying to the rest of the world. It’s almost 2020, so it’s time to embrace color because, as Marie Kondo might say, it sparks joy in the wearer.

Here’s a few of what we think are some great nail polish colors for spring and summer this year, and a few ideas on how to put the rest of your wardrobe together to show off those color pops:
