Curious about which nail colours will be all over your Instagram feed this Spring? We were too, which is why we reached out to one of the most in-demand manicurists in New York City, Jenny Bui of Nails on 7th (and Cardi B's go-to technician for her famous acrylic designs) to find out the shades we should try out this season.

The collection of colours range from pretty pastel hues and vivid neons to easy-to-wear neutrals, so there's sure to be a trend you'll want to try. Ahead, you'll see which ones Bui recommends, as well as nail polish suggestions.

Neon Green

"Neon Colours are taking over right now," said Bui. "Tons of clothing brands have included neon colours in their Spring collections, so having neon nails too is the cherry on top." The manicurist called out hues of neon green, orange, yellow, and pink as the most popular to try this season.

The China Glaze Nail Lacquer in Kiwi Cool-Ada ($7) will certainly stand out.
