One of my favorite signs of spring besides the warm weather, is the color. As the temperatures begins to increase and the sun shines through the clouds we begin to see colorful flowers come in bloom and more importantly, colors begin to pop in almost everyone’s ensembles. While a pop of color is welcome at anytime in my wardrobe, one of my favorites spots to show this color is on my nails. My signature would absolutely be a bright red but this year for Easter I decided to tone it down a little.
My absolute favorite brand of nail polish brand is Sally Hansen’s “INSTA-DRI”. Coming in a variety of colors and being very inexpensive are two reasons why I love the brand, but the best attribute is its ability to dry in a blink of an eye. Well, not actually a blink of an eye, but faster than any other polish I have ever used. This attribute complements my impatience profoundly.
I have become so fond of this brand and product that I have established go-to colors for every season/holiday. The latest to this collection of mine is #150 Petal Pusher. It is a very soft pink and the minute you see it you immediately think of spring and Easter. I chose my outfits for the Easter weekend and then stumbled upon this color and I was pleased to see that it also matched well with each.
When finishing off this precious shade pink, applying a coat of Sally Hansen’s “INSTA-DRI’ #130 Clearly Quick is a must. Again it is a product in her INSTA-DRI line so you are ready to go in a matter of minutes, but it also adds a clear, shiny shimmer, to any color you choose.
Like I mentioned before, the blooming of flowers, the shining sun, and pulling out vibrant prints from our closets are all signs that spring is here. The inclusion of color is a must in my book when is come to dressing for spring. Yet, this year I found that applying a subtle nail color is a great way to complement the bright colors I decided to wear for the holiday. Making a bold statement can still be done by pairing soft colors with the right bright ones. This is the perfect statement in lieu of the Easter holiday and will still turn heads in the crowd.
