Nails for Spring

As the spring season has sprung upon us I am always on the lookout for some transition colors from winter to spring.  I am not quiet ready for my full on summer colors.  Here is one I came across first on pinterest that made me look twice.  I stumbled across it at Walgreens the other day and had to snag it up.  It is coming from the Wet and Wild Spring 2014 line called and the Style Award Goes to. Nouveau Cheap is one of my favorite blogs to keep up to date on new lines coming out at the drugstore. Check it out if you haven't already.

Wet and Wild: Valet Tag
Description:  This is a pale taupe creme that's loaded with silver shimmer and a whisper of iridescent glitter. No issues with application and dry-time was average.

 

Neutral nail polish

I really like the look of neutral nail polish colors on my nails.  In the summer I do like color, and I may not be correct but I don't match whats on my nails with my toes.  Below are my favorite neutral nail colors.  If you know any other good ones please share :)

Here is how I do my nails.  I actually paint them every Monday, and usually touch up for the weekends as needed.  When I get out of the shower I remove my old nail polish. I do not dry my hair first, I put my make up on.  Before I start my makeup I paint my nails.  I usually only use one heavy coat and that is it.  About half way through my makeup I put on the top coat.  By the time I am done with my makeup my nails are dry.  I very rarely have any smudges while I do this. 

Essie (Target, Ulta, Walgreens) 8.00
1. Sand Tropez: soft sandy beige
I think this one will look great in the summer with a tan


2. Au Natural: a sheer neutral sandy beige
I love this one all by itself.  It has a nice finish instead of just clear top coat by itself.




3. Ballet Slippers: classic pale pink with a sheer finish.



I have recently started purchasing some of the Butter nail polishes.  I have liked them, but they are kinda pricey for nail polish

1. All Hail the Queen (14.00).  I get mine from Ulta:  It's a holographic beige.  Which means it has some shimmer with it. I have loved this one for fall, and can't wait to see what it looks like for spring and summer.



2.Yummy Mummy:  a medium beige color.  This one doesn't have shimmer in it



Favorite Top Coat:
Sally Hansen: 30 Second Top Coat (4.50): Target, Walmart, Ulta, Walgreens, Etc
This truly dries in 30 seconds.



Let me know your loves.  There are some really pretty colors coming out this spring I can't wait to try on my toes.  Love the corals.
