Spring Nail Polishes to Try



Happy Monday friends! It’s been a couple years since I rounded up some of my favorite nail polishes and as someone that always has her nails painted I have amassed quite the collection of my own polishes. While I do tend to have gel on my nails the majority of the time, it’s during the spring that I really start to crave a weekly polish, so I opt to do them on my own more frequently. I wanted to share a few of my favorites right now! 



  • Essie Gel Couture “Wearing Hue” || This is my newest and currently most favorite color! It’s light pink and iridescent. When it’s applied it actually looks more white on the nails. I’ve been itching to transition away from the darker hues and this is the perfect one! 
  • Essie Gel Couture “Pinned to Perfection” || If you like Mod About You from OPI, then you’ll like “Pinned to Perfection from the Essie Gel Couture line. It’s a pastel pink that screams spring! 
  • Sally Hansen Insta-Dri “Sand Stone” || If I don’t have gel on my nails then I’ve probably done my nails on my own, which means I have about 10 minutes to get it done. This nail polish line stays on the best for me (apparently my nail beds are a bit oily). This is a really nice color that I feel professional wearing and isn’t too bold for work. A few sparkles which catch the sun nicely!
  • Sally Hansen Insta-Dri “Petal Pusher” || The perfect pink that isn’t too milky when applied. Again, I really love how fast it dries and doesn’t streak at all! Also, the bristles on the brush are really great at getting a full on your nail in just two swipes!
  • OPI “Stop It I’m Blushing” || I tend to get this color year round and mostly in gel, but it does come in regular polish, the infinite shine (lasts up to 7 days) and also dip powder! This is the ultimate pastel peach and screams spring to me! It’s what I have on my nails right now!
  • Butter London “Living Coral” || This is the pantone color of the year and if you’re headed to a spring break vacation or looking to bring your tan out, this is definitely the color to try!
  • Smith & Cult “Exit the Void” || I haven’t tried this brand before, but so many of my friends rave about it. The periwinkle color is exactly what’s missing from my current stash! 






What colors do you like for Spring?

    Love those two Essie polishes. I mostly wear polish on my toes because I can't seem to grow my fingernails out.

    I fell in love with dip…then didn't go have it taken off in time and I'm totally paying for it. My nails are so jacked right now. I need to try the Sally Hansen for a quick fix before our trip next week.

    Butter London is one of my favorite brands of nail polish. They have some of the prettiest colors.

    I'm such a big fan of light pinks for spring/summer! This weekend I got the gel version of Essie Romper Room and it's SUCH a good color!

    I LOVE having my nails painted! When I don’t, I don’t quite feel the same, lol. Lately, I haven’t had much time, but I’m looking forward to carving some time out tl do them; I usually do them myself, so I’m always looking for new shades to add to my collection. I enjoy posts like this because it makes it easier for me when shopping to just go straight to the color I know I want to try instead of sitting there scanning. I would definitely want to try the one from Butter London and Smith & Cult. I too have never heard of them before, but I love the color and the packaging! Thanks for sharing, beauty, and I hope you have a great week ahead!

    Xo,

    loveeeeee these colors. and that first essie one looks so fun – especially if it's more white pink too like you say. and that butter london color in the pantone color of the year is such a great idea – need to throw that color on my toes!

    That Insta-Dri is seriously my favorite drugstore nail polish. The price point is awesome and it really does dry pretty darn quickly. Essie is the only other brand I wear—IDK why I'm a snob about Essie, I just love their color range.

    So many pretty colors! I apparently have oily nail beds too (who knew that was even a thing?) so I need to try those Sally Hansen polishes. A friend of mine raves about them all of the time. And yes to that periwinkle polish, so pretty!

    Insta-Dri is all I use now! I probably won't ever buy another brand again! It's that good.

    Such pretty colors! I've always been a fan of OPI and Essie but need some Insta-dry in my life because there's always an inevitable smudge since I have no patience for letting my nails dry.
