Top Five Spring Nail Polishes

Nicer weather has finally started to "spring" up here, and it has been represented in the nail colors I've been loving lately. Here are my top five spring nail polishes of the moment.

1. "Selena" from Nicole by OPI's Selena Gomez collection.

This color is really great for those warmer days when your nails just add to the happiness of a bright sunny day. I'd say it is a mix between a baby girl pink and salmon or coral. I absolutely love how it is a mix between these colors because I have a hard time with the full on coral colors that tend to lean on the side of orange. It doesn't go well with my skin tone. So if you're very fair with pink undertones, this is the color for you!

2. "Mod Square" by Essie.

I love this classic hot pink color. It's opaque in one coat, it is bright and fun, and it's just the perfect transition from winter shades to spring shades. It's a shade that would compliment all skin tones and is especially great on the toes when sandal season comes around.

3. "Flirt" by Revlon.

This shade of pink is very cool toned with a hint of blue in it. It leans toward lavender, but there is a bit more pink. It also compliments a very light complexion. I feel like this would compliment very light and very dark tones, but might not be the best for olive or medium complexions.

4. "Lav-endure" by CoverGirl.

I've loved quite a few lavender shades in my time, but this one tops them all. It's very light lavender and isn't dingy like some other lavender polishes I've tried. It is perfection and I would recommend this to anyone. I like this shade for a grey, overcast day because it matches the mood of the day, but it's also bright enough to make me happy.

5. "Turquoise and Caicos" by Essie.

I don't usually wear blue or green shades, but when spring and summer come along I feel like I have to because it's like a day on the beach. This shade is what I like to call the "Tiffany Blue" of my nail polish collection.

Let me know what your top spring nail polishes are! I'm always looking for new nail polishes.

First Day of Spring Nails!

Happy Spring! For all of you out there who, like me, live in climates where it has not yet started to look like spring I hope it's coming soon!
I decided to brighten up my first day of spring by painting my nails a shocking shade of coral. There is still quite a lot of snow on the ground and today I think it might have hit 20 degrees. That's March in Minnesota for you. But anyway, this is the shade Trout Pout by Butter London and it sure did make me think of bright sunny days ahead!

When I first purchased this nail polish I was disappointed with the formula. I thought it felt sticky and streaky on the nail so I had shied away from using it. It's also a very summery shade so it didn't move into my "nail polish of the moment" bag. I grabbed it today and was really happy. It didn't feel sticky or streaky and I only applied one coat before a topcoat and it was completely opaque. So here's to second chances! And here's to spring! Let's all hope for some warm weather! 

Nails Of The Day (or week)

Ta-Da! I did it! I painted my nails! Some people paint their nails more often than I do, and I commend them. I always like to have my nails looking good, but I just don't have the time! Well, maybe I do, but I choose to spend it other ways rather than painting my nails and then waving my hands around like a lunatic for an hour until they fully dry.

Not the best quality picture, but I took it outside so the color would be true.
