Spring is the perfect time to add an extra pop of colour into your life. Nail polish is a great form of self-care that leaves you feeling neat and put together.  Spring is a period of optimism, with the fresh weather and budding life, it is the perfect time to experiment with some new colours. You won’t go wrong with wearing these five shades, check out the round-up below:

Pale Pink

This gorgeous colour is a timeless classic. With its clear, crisp, elegant look, pale pink is a beautiful nail colour that fits any occasion. An added bonus is that when this nail polish colour chips, it’s often less noticeable against your exposed nails. There are so many great options to choose from, ranging from shades that look almost white to super vibrant pinks. Check out some of these beautiful options:

Soft Grey

In my opinion, soft grey is an underrated nail colour. This simple colour emits an ethereal vibe. It is the perfect, minimalistic, muted neutral. There are so many different shades of grey to choose from. Whether you’re looking for an almost white shade, a dusty hue, and a greenish, bluish, or purplish shade, they all exist within the light grey spectrum! A fun way to incorporate another trend into your mani is to add a different shade of grey to each nail. Check out some of the colour options below:
