While the runways declared nude and shiny, metallic manicures must-haves for Spring, celebrities like Jessica Alba, Beyonce and Ginnifer Goodwin prove that pastel polishes are still all the rage. The spring staple has been spotted on the A-listers on red carpets throughout awards season and they all chose ones that compliment their skin tones.
Despite popular belief, all pastels aren’t created equal. The shades to covet this season are creamy pastels, which look as if the pigment’s been mixed with a white base. Think shades like creamsicle, mint, lavender and eggshell blue that pop (yes, even on fair complexions). If you have an alabaster-like complexion like Ginnifer Goodwin, chose a cool shade like Maybelline Color Show Nail Lacquer in Green with Envy. A peachy shade will compliment medium skin tones like Jessica Alba’s, opt for a polish like Butter London Kerfuffle Nail Lacquer in Opaque Pink Coral Crème. Consider yourself lucky if you have a darker skin tone, as all pastel shades will look flattering. One of our favorites: CoverGirl Outlast Stay Brilliant Nail Gloss in Lav-endure.
