Spring Hotties -Nails

Hey Beauties, spring is that time when flowers start to reopen, chicks begin to chirp and the sun starts coming out of hiding. Its limbo between winter and summer, transition time, so hold your horses and store some of your eye hurting neon’s till June so you have something to look forward to and just enjoy the pastels whilst the season lasts.

Simple core pastel colours that are spring must haves are sky blue, mint green, pale pink (try stepping away from the nudes), lilac and light yellow.

However pastels can get a little boring after some time sotake a small shuffle into bright colours but don't go leaping just yet. Othertop colours for spring are coral orange (leave coral pink till summer),bright/light red (stay away from burgundy and dark red), royal/bold/light blue,bold pink (not to bright) and deep purple.

Now do remember we live in 2013 with lots of cool technologyand new inventions and this time of year they have brought lots of new nail polishfinishes out then just shine, matte and crackle. New finishes out at the momentare caviar by ciate £18.00, concreteand leather effect by nails Inc. £12.00 each (a bumpy, rough,matte finish), which is like liquid sandby opi £8.00 (a rough finish that canbe matte or glittery), feathers effectby nails Inc. £11.00 (light springcoloured glitters with little feathers in, fool proof for Easter). Butdefiantly don’t forget your back to basics glitters try plain white or silver chunksover your favourite colour or try a glitter with bright colours in it.

OR forget polish altogether and try nail wraps, easy and non-chipable. Be adventurous and don’t stick with a plain colour on them, use some withfloral patterns or pastel stripes or polka dots. Even better get black andwhite patterned ones monochrome is bang on trend at the moment.
