The Perfect Nail Polish Colors To Try Right Now
Even though winter is dragging its feet on the east coast, it’s officially spring! So hopefully we’ll soon be able to trade in our coats and gloves for light cardigans and bright, pastel, and nude nails.
Like any beauty method, nails are a great way to express yourself. If you’re feeling fierce, a hot pink stiletto nail could be for you. Meanwhile, if you just want a pop of color but not too much to divert attention from the rest of your look, a short, muted lavender nail may be wha your looking for. Spring is about all things new, so don’t be afraid to experiment.
Our favorite celebrities are down with the vibe shift, too. For the 94th Academy Awards, rapper (and history-maker) Megan Thee Stallion hit the stage with a ballerina-shaped, nude set that replaced neon green nails from her previous performance.
For her appearance in the video for the extended version of “No Love,” Cardi B rocked long, stiletto nails in white.
Last week, Saweetie rocked sea foam green tips.
In an ad for her new shapewear brand Yitty (which ESSENCE has an exclusive on!), singer Lizzo donned a creamy, pale nude set.
We rounded a few hues that are perfect for the transition into spring. Keep scrolling to shop. 💐
