Need to Have Nails

Tired of your old French manicure? Looking for a change from your boring basic black? The seasons are changing and so should your nail polish! Spring’s new nail colors are all about making a fierce statement. Here the top 5 new shades you need to know about before you get your next manicure!

1. Paint em’ purple! Spring’s purple nail trend is all about soft shades of violet that are appropriately named after flowers like lilac and lavender.

2. Color yourself citrus! Bright colors like yellow and orange will make your nails POP! These hues look great on darker or tanned skin tones.

3. White is the new black! Black polish is so last season. Go the opposite of goth and change it up this spring with a clean, white polish.

4. Go chrome! Step into the future with a metallic mani/pedi. Look for sleek gold and silver polishes or check out minx nails for a chrome look that will last!

5. Hot hot pink! Take girly pinks to the next level by going for shades that are bold and bright.

Want more cool nail ideas? Try Minx nails!!!

Just got a new polish a couple days ago. It's called "blue me away" by Sally Hassen (I think). This color looks just like the newer blue color seen on cars! I'm actually painting my nails this color tonight :]

It's a fun, cool, and refreshing color, similar to blue eggshell, but a little more updated. A tip for this color is to have a white base nail color that is a thinner liquid, then top the white off with For Audrey. Having the base color helps the color pop more. It does tend to chip, but don't fret! Just relax. Spreading the love, Teddi.(:
