The Spring Nail Polish Collections Are Here! 18 Top PicksThe spring nail polish collections have shades so pretty, you'll wish you could get a mani every day this week |
I'm all about bold statements, and here's my latest: Nail art is over.
It's finished. Gone. (But if you must indulge in nail art, these classy nail designs will keep your nails sophisticated, not silly).
If you've been paying attention to red carpets and catwalks, you've also noticed that nail art has made a dramatic decline. Even Katy Perry -- queen of nail art -- wore a nude (yes, nude!) lacquer to last month's Grammy Awards.
This sudden shift isn't really all that surprising. I mean, where was there left to go after caviar manis and 3D decals? The answer: back to the basics, of course.
Maybe it's just me, but I was practically standing on my swivel chair singing, "So long, farewell, Auf wiedersehen" to velvet manicures and eye-crossingly busy appliqués. And I couldn't be happier that spring nail polish trends are all about bright bolds and pretty pastels.
To get you back into the classic polish pool once more, I tested out all of the new spring 2013 nail polish collections and plucked out the 6 must-have shades. Are you with me in my rejoicing over the death of nail art? And which lacquers are you most excited to get your hands on this month?

I disagree that nail art is over! I believe that the nautical designs with the anchor are totally in this season. However my fave pick for Spring is Mint Green, super gorgeous!

Most of these are pastel! I prefer brighter colors. I wish I could get into blue polish because I am in love with cobalt everything right now...but every time I try it, it just doesn't feel like it suits me.

That mint blue color got so popular recently! Just debated tonight at the store if I should buy it but I did not know if those pastel colors were just a spring look, so I didnt get it :/

I have the lavender color and can finally feel okay wearing my white knowing it is spring approved :) I shouldn't have looked at this article with so many nail polishes already, but I'm going to have to go out and buy some more colors after reading this.

I love the pale blue, white and nudes. Really like Zoya and Lipmann colors.

Ok colors, but not very wearable. Kind of expensive examples too.
