Easter Egg Nails

 




Hi beauties,

With Easter coming up this weekend, I wanted to show you my favorite Spring nail polishes which I like to refer to as my Easter Egg Nail colors! I love pastel nails, and as soon as spring rolls around, I am always  eager to pull out my spring nail polishes. (Although who am I kidding, I've been known to rock the pastels in a mid-winter snowstorm!) 

Without further ado, I give you my favorite polishes for achieving "Easter egg nails"! 

[L-R]: Sinful Colors- Unicorn, NYC- French White Tip, Flower beauty- Gorgeous Gerbera, OPI Rumples' Wiggin', Revlon-Minted.

 Sinful Colors "Unicorn"- I would describe this as a buttery or new born baby duck yellow. It is a cream polish and is very opaque. I do have to warn you,  that if you wear this polish for too long it WILL stain your nails yellow. I have found that if you put a white polish underneath it, you won't have that trouble.

NYC "French White Tip"- You may be wondering why I would include a white polish, but I think that white polishes are key to making pastels "POP". Simply do a coat of white nail polish under your pastels to help them pop and be more true in color. This white polish is great, and super affordable.

Flower beauty "Gorgeous Gerbera"- this is a true pastel pinky peach. Perfect for spring and looks killer with a tan! 

OPI "Rumples Wiggin'"- I will admit that this is my FAVORITE nail polish of all time. Just a true pastel lilac that is creamy and never streaky. It is just all around perfect.

Revlon "Minted"- I will admit that this needs several coats or it will look streaky (which I think is due to the applicator!) It is a true mint green and reminds me of pistachio ice cream!

 

[L-R]: OPI Coney Island Cotton Candy, OPI What's with the Cattitude, Sinful Colors Starfish, Sinful Colors Paradise, China Glaze For Audrey
 
OPI "Coney Island Cotton Candy"- I like to call this a "Noticeable neutral". It is work appropriate and is a peachy nude. I think it is a work friendly pastel color that makes your nails look really clean and put together.

OPI "What's with the Cattitude"- This is probably my favorite blue polish of all time. It is just a true pastel baby blue. It is a cream finish which is my favorite and is a really nice pop of color.

Sinful Colors "Starfish"- Although it is coming up more on the pinky side on camera, this is a nice pastel mauve. It is really a nice combination of pink and purple and is very subtle.

Sinful Colors "Paradise"- This is a true Sky blue! I like to wear this for an accent nail when I wear what's with the cattitude. It is probably more bright than most would consider pastels to be, but it looks great paired with a pastel, so I had to include it.

China Glaze "For Audrey"- This is a polish that many people talk about on YouTube and on blogs. It is a true Tiffany's box blue and is blueish green and is very understated. I love this!

So there you have it! My favorite shades for Easter Egg nails! I'd love to hear what your favorite polishes are for spring!

XOXO,
Erin
