Sasha Obama just stepped out with a fresh manicure that's giving major spring energy. Spotted strolling under the LA sun, book in hand and chill vibes in full effect, Sasha's glossy blue nails were impossible to miss. If you've been looking for a seasonal color that's equal parts playful and polished, let this be your sign: blue is it.
Sasha's nails are painted in a striking sky-blue shade, somewhere between periwinkle and baby blue, with a glossy finish that catches the light in all the right ways. It's fresh, flattering on every skin tone, and, most importantly, fun.

Why Sasha's Nails Work for Spring 2025
Spring is always a time of soft transitions: blooming florals, longer days, lighter layers. And nail colors follow suit. Neutrals and blush tones will always be around, but there's something undeniably refreshing about a bold pastel that cuts through the softness. Sasha's blue fits that niche: bold enough to be interesting and pastel enough to play nice with any outfit.
Plus, blue has been creeping back onto trend radars this season in a big way. From runway to TikTok tutorials, navy blue, powdery blues, and bright cobalt are making serious waves. Sasha's take feels like the perfect midpoint, as it is approachable, not too loud, but still head-turning enough to spark a "Wait, what color is that?" moment.
