Spring/Summer 2012 Nail Polish Trends

Spring/Summer Nail Polish Collections
I want to share with you all some spring/summer nail polish trends I have been seeing in magazines and recent nail polish collection releases. The brands I mention are kind of pricy and may not be available for everyone to go out and purchase. If you have any brands you want me to investigate, feel free to comment and I will do some digging ;). 

OPI
OPI is a brand that I am absolutely in love with!! It has a great application brush, stay power, and the colors are very opaque colors. Almost all of my nail polishes are OPI and I love them all! Their spring collection that was released definitely stuck to the typical spring pastel colors but they also had some bright and dark colors for summer as well. I was pleasantly surprised with some of the colors they released and can't wait to get my hands on a couple for this spring. I absolutely love Thanks a Wind-Million and I don't give a Rotterdam, these two colors would be beautiful if you did one color for all your nails and then on the ring finger did an accent nail of the other color. But I must say that my favorite is Dutch ya just love OPI just because it is that beautiful true purple (my favorite color) and this would be gorgeous on my toe nails with some cute sandals. 


Essie
Now Essie truly stuck with the pastel colors that are typically associated with spring with two bright fun colors. Now I love Essie but OPI is still my favorite. Essie is still one of those quality polishes that is definitely worth the extra couple dollars because it is opaque and has great staying power. My favorite color in this collection is definitely a crewed interest due to the fact that it is a beautiful soft peachy color. I think that this would look great on almost anyone. One color I'm a little skeptical about is the green, navigate her, due to the fact that I look at it and think that is different but if it were on my nails I would feel self-conscious that people would think that I had fungus (especially if it was on my toes). But overall I think that Essie's spring collection is very pretty and I'm just waiting to get my hands on a crewed interest. 


Butter London


Lastly, I want to talk about the most expensive brand but has the most beautiful colors EVER!!! I am absolutely in love with all of these colors that they released!!! I am just waiting for a sale so that I can get my hands on all of them!!! At $14.00 a bottle they are pricy and may be out of reach of most people but we can lust can't we ;). I cannot wait to get my hands on two particular colors Trout Pout and Knackered. I have seen reviews on these two colors in particular and they just raved over these colors. They are opaque and just as beautiful as beautiful can be!!! I also am drawn to Slapper as a very pretty teal color that is my second favorite color so I feel like it would be a good color to use as an accent nail for the OPI's Dutch ya just love OPI. 

I hope that you enjoyed this introduction to some Spring/Summer nail polish trends for 2012. As I mentioned before, feel free to comment and leave any requests you have for more nail polish trends for different brands. Also, feel free to leave comments on things you want to see me review or talk about.
