Most of us only think to reach for green nail polish around the holidays (along with some sparkle, of course) but if you're particularly fond of the hue or feeling especially ethereal this spring, consider a lighter shade of green. Seafoam or mint shades are becoming increasingly in-demand among Hinckson's celebrity clients and she couldn't be more into it. She remembers when there were only around five shades of green available on the market and now there are over 500. "Green is lovely on warmer skin tones because you can't see the blue and red veins on your hand," she says. She recommends sticking to the paler hues for work and then upping the ante for vacations and weekend getaways.
Iridescent hues are having a moment, from eyeshadows and lipsticks to highlighters and glosses. So it only makes sense that this opalescent, pearlescent perfection would also make its way to nail polish just in time for spring. The key to pulling off this unicorn-inspired color is choosing the right amount of pigment and shimmer. This will depend on both your skin color and personality. Those with lighter skin tones might want to reach for something that has a bit more pigment so it stands out, whereas those with darker skin tones can be a bit more daring.
