This spring, not only is your wardrobe going to bright and cheery, but so are your digits with this spring’s fresh nail polish trends.  Go vivid with rich, creamy pastels in refreshing blues, luscious purples, and warm peachy-pinks.  Stay natural with nude, but keep it amped up with a glossy finish.  For those looking for a little more of a kick, eye catching gun metals are making an appearance.  With the array of intriguing nail colors to choose from this spring, you’ll want to try them all!
