Have you ever just stood in front of a rack of nail polishes comparing the nuances between two (barely!) different shades of pink?  Yeah, that’s me.  There are just way too many delicious options when it comes to nail polish and the choices for fall are no exception.  But instead of the usual goth black lacquer (somehow calling it “midnight” makes it trés chic), I rounded up some gorgeous jewel-toned polish for something refreshingly unexpected.

spirit of spring.

If I had to pick a favorite season, it would definitely be spring. Besides the return of pastels and Peeps, this season is marked by gorgeous flowers, breezy weather (sometimes interrupted by unexpected showers), and outdoor festivities. All the while, I can’t help but get inspired by the vibrant colors that define this time of year.

Here are a few of my favorite pics. Enjoy!
