Dusty Pink Nail Polish
This season is all about colourful pastels with a huge emphasis on pink’s muted sister, dusty pink. This flattering sugary shade is actually a medium muted peach creme with pink, brown and mauve undertones. A warm skin tone shade for a very natural look.

Mint Nail Polish
After mint greens became so popular in 2009, most of us would die for a bottle of Chanel Jade. Although it is no longer that much in the rage, it does not miss the mark in the pastel trend. In spring, look for a nail colour that has more blue and is a creme, it will be beautiful on!

Cornflower Blue Nail Polish
This subtle blue tint is inspired with cornflower, or comfy bedrooms if you prefer. The fresh, and yummy shade from the best make-up experts (and Crayola company!) is pretty, trendy and a bit provocative. A kind of tongue-in-cheek nail polish colour.
