One beauty editor shares the most sought-after nail colours this month.
This might be a little sad to admit, but one of my favourite Sunday night activities is scrolling on Instagram and stalking all of those cool, fashion people for inspiration for the week ahead. While outfit inspiration is always my main goal, sometimes I'll stumble across a new nail colour trend that'll influence my next manicure shade, too. And, as we enter a new month, it seems as if all of the most stylish people on social media are choosing fresh new hues when it comes to their nails.
So, what shades get their seal of approval this March? I'm yet to spot any spring pastel nail polishes, but instead, I've saved down an array of bold colours and neutral nail looks that I am desperate to try out myself. Below, I've rounded up the fashion set's March manicure colours of choice, and trust me when I say that these nail looks are not to be missed. Keep on scrolling for all the inspo you need, and don't forget to shop my favourite polishes to get the look from home.
6 Most Stylish Nail Colours for March 2026
1. Navy Blue
First up is this striking, sophisticated navy blue shade. We usually see baby blue nails at this time of year, but I'm all about this deeper hue. Bonus points if you match your manicure to your outfit, just like Monikh.
