I know although it is spring, many of us are still dealing with winter weather! But spring weather should be here within the next month where I live and I am ready for some spring nail polish and clothes!
Has anyone tried any of the new spring polishes?
What are you wearing on your fingers and toes, or what are your favorite colors for spring?

I've seen a pretty soft yellow I will probably get. I sort of struggle sometimes with 'less obvious' nail colours. I love turquoises and greens and I buy polishes in colours I adore but somehow I rarely end up wearing them.....they just don't seem right on my fingernails somehow....
What do you fancy?

I'm with Gar. I struggle with the spring colors since I feel like they don't look good on me. I recently bought a set of Essie mini's and love the colors but will have to see how they actually look on me. Currently I am wearing Zoya Yuna. Not really a spring color but that's ok for now.

@gina I love orange nail polish!
Right now I'm wearing a pastel mint on my hands. It's my easter shade.

I'm currently wearing My Gecko Does Tricks by Opi. It's a green color, and totally not one of my typical nail color choices. I have been doing Ombre nails lately, which I really love!

I got a light mint green Hula something (Hawaiian collection) for my 12 yr. old for her birthday. I also got Essie Mint Candy Apple and Blossom Dandy (new). I got a hot pink (Smog) from a Butter London sale.
When I wear the light pastel colors, I feel like I need 5 coats to even the color out. So I buy them because they look so pretty on blogs. But then I don't like the way they look on me, so I don't wear them.
I have 3 daughters, two of them teens, so they polish their nails a lot. I don't feel like I wasted money on the colors I don't like on me because they wear them.
I got the OPI Infinite Shine base and top coat and a hot pink color. Can't wait to try!

I'm wearing mint and coral right now on my fingers. I don't do my toes. My BFF is a nail tech so she does mine for free.

I am wearing a shimmery blue. I wanted it to be a little paler although not quite as light as the color above.
I have never seen this brand. The name started with an 'N,' I think.

I'm really wanting some pastels right now. I want a pale blue, pale purple and maybe even like a soft Easter yellow. I'm having a hard time finding colors like I want though so I haven't bought any.

It's not a new color, but I put Zoya "Happi" on my fingernails today. It's a light to medium pink but with a very subtle gold glimmer (not sparkly) that gives it a gorgeous coral color in most light. I can't do pastels, so it's a bit brighter and clearer looking (if that makes sense) than a pastel without getting into the more saturated colors of summer.

Right now I have OPI I Eat Mainely Lobster on my toes. It's a pretty coral color with more orange than red in it. On my fingers is OPI Lunch at the Delhi. Sadly, it's discontinued. It's a great reddish coral---it has more red than the color on my toes.
OP, I have the same trouble with the pretty spring pastels. I never feel like I get a nice, even coverage with many of them. They usually end up in my daughter's collection.

I have tried a lot of new Spring polishes. Though I like them, I keep going back to wearing older spring collections. Right now I am wearing one of my favorite spring polishes OPI you're Such a Budapest. I have worn this polish so much that I am on my third bottle, since the polish was released. StacyAngel, glad to see you back! I have been missing your nail polish threads!
I have OPI You're Such a Budapest too. Such a pretty color.

I've got Flowerista from Essie on my fingers now. Still have Mojito Madness from Essie on my toes. I like the Flowerista color too! And Mojio Madness.
I was surprised to see Flowerista as a spring as opposed to fall color, but it's so pretty! May have to get it.

@gina I love orange nail polish! Right now I'm wearing a pastel mint on my hands. It's my easter shade. I am thinking I should just wear that on my fingernails as I wear a LOT of teal. Anna, do you do your nails yourself?

No, I got that they weren't her nails , but she is a make up guru here and I know she knows her way around Sephora pretty well (insert department store name if applicable) so I was wondering if she got her nails done professionally like my friends do or did them herself. LOLOL. My friends get gel nails. One still gets acrylic. That was where i was coming from. I didn't think it needed a whole new thread. annabella

Remember, I am blonde now and i get where you are coming from annabella . Took me a minute but I forgot you aren't white either. I don't see you as a colour. i see you as an informed beauty product consumer. That is all. That is how I would prefer to be seen, too. You also know about clothing and belts and maybe shoes. Did you bring Bag, Borrow or Steal to 2 Peas, too? I know I learned about Rent the Runway from you.

I bought a really pretty (in the bottle) mint shade by Rita Ora for Rimmel, why can't I get it to look good? What ever I do it looks streaky and uneven, is it just rubbish nail polish or is it my technique which I admit sucks a certain anatomical donkey part.
