What to Wear on Your Nails This Spring

Creating nail color collections for some of the most well-known beauty companies in the industry, Shari Gottesman, Vice President of Cosmetic Coatings Corporation and founder of Perfect Formula, is a major player when it comes to setting trends. For spring, Gottesman confirms she is continuing to see some very untraditional, not-so-subtle color styles. “Spring used to always be about feminine pastels, but we are really seeing very little of those sweet and natural shades this year,” she says. “No one wants pastels of any kind right now. The trend toward bright shades is continuing, though they are a little toned down from the electric heights of last season.”

What to Buy:

1. Bright Gerbera Daisy shades will replace last seasons’ crazy neon’s. Fluorescent tones were fun, but now super vibrant oranges, reds and pinks much like a tropical garden will be more flattering and great for toes!

2. Effects that showcase a whimsical effect are a major trend on the horizon. For instance, mood polishes that basically change color depending on body temperature are becoming increasingly popular. Look for them!

3. Bold, heavy metallics from bright cobalt to deep fuchsia and C-3P0 gold have moved away from the matte chrome look of winter and amped up the shine wattage. It’s all very Terminator!
