Buy Now: Pastel Polish
With spring just around the corner, it’s time to pull out those sandals, peel off those gloves, and show off those nails. Even in the gloomiest of April showers, freshly painted nails can satisfy your longing for May flowers. Schedule a mani-pedi and try out spring’s newest polish colors. It’s all about pastels this season, so go with lavender or lilac, robin’s egg blue or minty green, nature-inspired nudes and any sort of warm, rosy pink. And for Friday night out? Gunmetal gray puts the petal to the metal.
