Spring has sprung, which means it’s time to break out the fun
flirty colors and embrace the sun after a long dark winter! Along with the
bright florals and bold colors that are in for Spring/Summer, nail polish
colors are also reflecting an ultra-feminine pallet with a wide range of choices
available to suit every look and style. Read on to find what’s hot in nail
polish this season:
Goodbye chocolate, hello candy floss!
Kiss the rich, dark shades of the winter season goodbye and embrace the bright
candy pink tones of spring. Pink is definitely a key shade, and is available in
many tantalizing hues from candy floss pink to bold electric pink. If you are
more conservative when it comes to your nails, opt for a pretty baby pink such
as I Pink I Love You (OPI Fairytale Collection). Feeling more daring? Try a
statement shade such as Something About Pink (Hello Kitty collection by MAC).
Love Lilac
From futuristic lilac lips to shimmering violet eye shadow, purple is the shade
of the new season. While lilac lipstick may be a step too far for some, lilac
nail polish is a great way to embrace the current trends in a more subtle way.
Do You Lilac It? (OPI) and Grape Shimmer (Revlon Glimmer Gloss collection) have
gorgeous options that will compliment floral print garments beautifully.
The Springtime Blues
Deep ink blues were prevalent throughout the fall and winter season, and is
still a popular shade for spring and summer; however the pallet is now brighter
and bolder- think ocean blue rather than sapphire blue. A great day-to night
color, blue can be worn in any shade from powdery sky blue to opulent royal
blue- the choice is yours! Try Blueberry Burst (Revlon Glimmer Gloss collection)
or Marine Scene by Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear.
Tropical Heat
Along with the pastel shades of this season, there are some great statement
shades to choose from. Coral pink and orange are top sellers, with neon green,
pink and yellow adding to the mix. Colors that are reminiscent of a tropical
island look great with tanned skin, so for your next trip to the beach lacquer
up with Lime Lights (Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear), Conga-line Coral (OPI
South Beach Collection) or Sunshine (Rimmel I Love Lasting Finish collection).
In The Buff
If you prefer a more conservative shade that goes with everything, you’re in
luck. Nude nails have been seen everywhere this season from the runways to the
hands of Victoria Beckham. Buff doesn’t have to be boring, go for a high shine
version such as Crème Brulee by Revlon. Nude translate easily from the office to
a night out for a hassle-free color choice.
Lady In Red
Red is a classic shade that is always in, but this season choose a gorgeous
pink-red for an ultra-feminine look. Keep it bright and light, rather than
choosing a deep garnet shade that was so popular last season. Keys to My Karma (OPI’s
India collection) and Red Hot Tamale (Revlon) are perfect examples of the cheeky
reds of Spring/Summer.
