Pastel Blue

Blue can sometimes be difficult to pull off but not when you go with a soft, pastel shade. The sky-like tone is also particularly on-trend this spring as Pantone dubbed Serenity one of its colours of the year.

Lilac

Lilac has spring written all over it, especially because it mimics those fresh spring blooms. It’s a beautiful color that’s crisp, energizing and packs a bright punch. Plus it’s just oh-so-pretty to look at!

Soft pink

Feminine, soft and delicate, this colour adds a touch of sophistication to any outfit and fits any occasion. It transitions perfectly from day wear at work to a girls’ night out.

Cream

Creamy off-whites with gray or beige undertones are much more flattering than harsh white. Off-white colors are also less intimidating and much easier to work with. This universally-flattering shade’s a very subtle, classy neutral that you can rock anytime of day regardless of occasion.

Creamy peach

This neutral shade looks feminine, clean and classy; and unlike true, flesh-toned nudes, creamy peach shades won’t blend in with your skin. If you have fairer skin, pick a shade that’s closer to the colour of your skin so that it gives the illusion of elongated fingers. That said, this peachy shade is also stunning on tanned and darker skin tones.

Regardless of which colours you choose to wear this spring, keep in mind that bright and pastel colors tend to accentuate dry cuticles and unevenly shaped nails. This is a perfect excuse to treat yourself to an at-home mani session! If your cuticles are dry and cracked, try a nourishing oil to moisturize, revive and keep those cuticles healthy all year long.
