Sometimes, a fresh mani is all you need to help you feel more put together, but maintaining a bi-weekly routine can be costly. That's why we're huge fans of DIY nail care. You definitely don't need a pro to simply change up your polish; just a careful selection of pretty hues that will transport you out of your winter rut, even if you're still bundling up in your winter puffer.
As spring approaches, we thought we'd elevate our manicures by going beyond typical pastels and found eight playful and popular nail polish shades to help brighten up your days. From trendy peachy tones to classic reds, these shades are sure to make a statement.
