2012's Spring and Summer Must Have Nail Polish Colors


What girl doesn't love painting their nails?! I get so excited when it's that time of the week to switch my nails up from last weeks color to this weeks color! These are the top nail polish shades you should be rocking on your hands all summer long, here is how you should be wearing these colors great colors for Spring and Summer. Nude; mannequin nails make their return this spring, but this time around, the focus is on matching your skin tone, not making your nails look like a Barbie doll's. Pistachio; spring's iteration is pretty pistachio, look for polishes that have creamy undertones and lots of opacity — you want the color to really stand out on your nails. Pastels; think more along the lines of pistachio green and butter yellow - taking a fun, light-hearted, youthful trend and translating it into a more high-fashion look. Blue; different hues of blue — baby blue, turquoise, and navy — will be big this spring. It will definitely be a lasting trend seen into fall as well. Glitter; The glitter craze is continuing, but will be transforming into new variations — the latest versions are 3D holographics, but shiny shimmers still continue to rule. Tangerine; offbeat orange and retro mod brights straight out of the swinging '60s. Fuchsia; hot pink and fuchsia replace light pink as the go-to girly shade of the season. And last but not least Neon; this isn’t old-school 1980's neon, it's a grown-up, modern interpretation; the result of a neon mixed with pure white pigment to create a beautiful, pulled-back look. This is an evolution of neon — still bright and in the same color family, but more sophisticated and subdued. I will definitely be sporting some of these colors on my digits this summer, what is your favorite shade?
