50 Nail Colours To Wear This Spring
Nail colours can brighten up your ensemble with just a quick lick of brights or pastels. If your wardrobe hasn't quite stepped into the new season yet, there's more ways than one to feel a bit brighter.
Nail colours are never more important than in spring. Finally we can shake off the deep purples and Christmas glitters and pave the way for candy-coloured pastels and sunset pinks and oranges.
The simplest way to give yourself that spring feeling is with a little colour on your fingertips. As with the SS14 clothing collections, nail colours love pastel colourings this spring as pretty pinks, mint greens and icy blues invade the deep post-winter palette. Deborah Lippmann does sugar-coated colourings particularly well with her new season shades, even giving them sweet namesakes like Spring Buds and Build Me Up Buttercup. We can also rely on Ciate and Essie, as always, for some adorable sugar-sweet shades.
Latest Stories
We’re in love with the tropical vibes from Dior and Tom Ford who incorporate sunset oranges into their SS14 collections, making us dream of a scorching hot summer. And, continuing with a holiday-ready theme, mermaidean greens replace your shimmer reds and glitter golds for night time nail looks, maintaining that opalescent shine but with seaside vibes instead.
For a parred down palette, introduce some taupe and stone colours alongside peachy nudes. Bring together your whole minimalist look with one of these subtle spring shades.
